Winter may bring cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and festive vibes, but let’s face it—our skin often feels less than thrilled. The cold air, harsh winds, and indoor heating can leave skin feeling dry, dull, and in need of some extra TLC. At Body Whip, we believe winter skincare doesn’t have to be a chore; it’s an opportunity to pamper, nourish, and keep your glow alive all season long.
Here are our favorite winter skincare tips (with a little Body Whip magic) to keep your body skin happy, healthy, and oh-so-hydrated.
1. Layer Up Your Moisture
Just like bundling up in layers of clothing, your skin needs layers of hydration to combat dryness. Start with lighter textures and build your way up to richer formulas.
Body Whip Tip: Start your routine with our Shea Parfait, a light whipped blend that melts effortlessly into the skin. Its airy texture absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed without being greasy. Follow up with a heavier butter of your choice to lock in moisture. Alternatively, start off with your favorite lightweight lotion/body butter then follow up with our Shea Mousse for an added layer of rich, deep hydration that seals in moisture and protects against winter dryness.
2. Keep the Showers Short & Sweet
A steamy shower feels heavenly on a chilly day, but hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, making it drier. Keep your showers short and use lukewarm water instead.
Pro Tip: After showering, gently pat your skin with a towel (no rough rubbing!) and apply your Shea Parfait or Mousse while your skin is still damp. This locks in moisture and keeps your skin soft and glowing all day long.
3. Hydrate from Head to Toe
Winter dryness doesn’t stop at your body—your hair needs love too! Dry, itchy scalps and brittle ends are common during the colder months.
Body Whip Tip: Treat your hair to our Coco Liqueur Hair Elixir. It’s the perfect lightweight elixir to nourish your scalp, smooth your strands, and add a gorgeous shine while keeping your hair healthy, strong and growing. Massage a few drops onto your scalp or use it as a finishing oil to protect your crown.
4. Exfoliate (But Gently!)
Flaky, dry skin? Time to exfoliate, but with care. Over-exfoliating can irritate winter-sensitive skin, so aim to exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and let your products work their magic.
Pro Tip: Follow up with our deeply hydrating Shea Mousse after exfoliating to
replenish moisture and keep your skin feeling smooth and buttery soft.
5. Don’t Forget Your Hands & Feet
Hands and feet often get the roughest treatment during winter, so they need some extra love. Keep them moisturized throughout the day and give them a special nighttime treat.
Body Whip Tip: Before bed, slather your hands and feet in our Shea Parfait for its lightweight, nourishing formula. Slip on cozy socks and gloves overnight to wake up with soft, hydrated skin.
6. Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out
Drinking enough water in winter is key! Even though you might not feel as thirsty, your skin still needs hydration to stay plump and healthy. Pair your water intake with fresh fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats (hello, avocado and almonds) for a glow that starts from within.
7. Make Self-Care a Ritual
Winter is the perfect time to embrace slow, intentional self-care moments. Turn your skincare routine into a ritual—play your favorite music, light a candle, and give your skin the love it deserves. With Body Whip products like our Shea Mousse, Shea Parfait and our Coco Liqueur Hair Elixir, taking care of your skin can feel luxurious and fun. You’ll step into the day (or night) feeling pampered, glowing, and confident. Winter skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about listening to your skin’s needs and giving it the right kind of love. With a little consistency and the magic of Body Whip, you can keep your skin soft, healthy, and radiant all season long.
