A Simple Winter Skincare Routine for Dry Months
How to keep a simple routine when the air turns cold and dry: one daily step, a richer balm where you need it, and lip care on the go.
Cold air outside and heated air inside can leave skin feeling drier than usual. You don’t need a longer routine for winter. You need the right texture in the right place, used every day.
The short version
- Keep one daily step: Whipped Tallow on face, hands and body.
- Add a richer balm only where skin feels driest.
- Want more on a cold day? Layer Nourishing Oil under Whipped Tallow.
- Keep a Lip Balm in your coat pocket.
Keep the daily step simple
Whipped Tallow moisturizes and nourishes dry skin on your face, hands and body. Use a little, massage it in and let it absorb. For best results, apply daily.
A pea-sized amount covers more than you’d expect, and too much can feel heavy. In winter, add a little more where you need it rather than more everywhere.
Add a richer balm where you need it
Hands, heels, elbows and knees often need more in the colder months. Our balms pair grass-fed tallow with beeswax and butters for a richer feel.
- Body Balm: a richer balm for everyday dry spots like knees and elbows.
- Freedom Balm: our richest body balm, a rich, slow-melting balm for rough hands, heels and elbows.
Warm a little between your fingers first, then massage it in. Before bed is an easy time to remember.
Layer when you want more
On the coldest days, you can layer. Nourishing Oil is a lightweight, silky oil for face and body, and it’s tallow-free. Wear it alone for a light finish, or layer it beneath Whipped Tallow when you want richer moisture.
The rule of thumb is thinnest first, richest last: serum, oil, whipped, then balm. You’ll rarely use more than two steps in one sitting.
Don’t forget lips and under-eyes
- Lip Balm: daily care for soft, comfortable lips on the go. It softens with the warmth of your lips for a creamy feel.
- Eye Serum: a silky, tallow-free oil-serum for dry-feeling under-eyes. The stainless-steel roller keeps each application small and precise.
