Targeted Winter Care: Supporting Skin, Hands, Lips, and Hair
Winter dryness does not affect every part of the body in the same way. While the face often gets the most attention, hands, lips, cuticles, and hair are usually the first areas to show signs of dryness.
Understanding how winter affects these areas makes it easier to support them properly.
Why winter dryness shows up differently
Cold air and indoor heat pull moisture from exposed areas first. Hands are frequently washed, lips lack oil glands, and hair is exposed to wind and friction from winter clothing.
Each area benefits from slightly different care.
Supporting hands and cuticles
Hands often become dry, cracked, and uncomfortable during winter. Cuticles are especially vulnerable due to frequent washing and exposure to cold air.
Using a cuticle cream regularly helps support dry skin around the nails and prevents splitting.

•Shea butter

Protecting lips from cold air
Lips have a thinner protective barrier than the rest of the skin. Cold air and wind quickly pull moisture away, leading to dryness and cracking.
Applying lip balm consistently helps protect lips from moisture loss throughout the day.

Caring for dry winter hair
Hair and scalp lose moisture during winter, especially with frequent indoor heating and cold outdoor exposure.
Using a hair oil on the ends or scalp helps support dry hair and adds protection against breakage.

Body care during colder months
Body skin is often covered in winter, but it still loses moisture quickly. Applying body butter after bathing helps seal in hydration and support the skin barrier.

•Mango Butter
•Echinacea
A winter routine that works
Winter care works best when it is simple and consistent. Supporting each area with the right product helps prevent dryness from becoming irritation.
Small daily habits add up over time.
