How to Get Back Your Glow in Winter: Radiance-Boosting Tips

There’s something undeniably romantic about winter. Think hot chocolate, cosy sweaters, and that crisp morning air. While your wardrobe loves the chill, your skin… not so much. The season of dry winds and indoor heating often leaves our faces feeling tight, dull, and begging for hydration.

The good news? You can absolutely reclaim your glow, and The Body Shop’s winter skincare heroes are here to help. Here, we have rounded up proven beauty tips to bring back that lit-from-within radiance when the temperatures drop.

Start with a Gentle Cleanse

Winter skincare rule number one: go easy on the cleansing. Overwashing or using harsh cleansers can strip away natural oils, leaving your skin even drier. Instead, opt for something gentle and nourishing.

The Body Shop’s Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash is perfect; it cleans without that squeaky-tight feeling. Think of it as a soft hug for your face that removes impurities but keeps your skin’s moisture barrier happy.

Maximise Hydration for Skin Restoration

Your summer gel moisturiser might be on vacation now. Winter demands something richer and more replenishing. Enter our Vitamin E Moisture Cream, a cult favourite that hydrates for hours without feeling heavy.

For those extra parched days, try our Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream, which keeps your skin hydrated for up to 72 hours. It will leave your face feeling smooth, soft, and plump with moisture.

Bring Back Your Glow with Vitamin C

If dullness had a season, it’d be winter. The lack of sunlight and hydration often dulls your skin’s natural brightness. That’s where our Vitamin C range becomes your winter glow BFF. The Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser and Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum are like sunshine in a jar. They help refresh tired, lacklustre skin and even out your tone.

A daily dose of Vitamin C (on your face, not just your orange juice) can do wonders for skin restoration and radiance.

Exfoliate, But Don’t Overdo It

Dry skin can lead to flaky patches that no highlighter can fix. Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week helps remove dead cells and allows your moisturiser to sink in better. The Vitamin C Daily Glow Cleansing Polish gives you a two-in-one cleanse and polish, a spa moment in your bathroom sink.

Remember: Be kind to your skin. Over-exfoliating in winter is like over-shampooing; it does more harm than good.

Add a Glow from Within

Radiant skin isn’t just about products; it’s also about healthy habits. Drink enough water (even if it’s the last thing you crave in cold weather), load up on antioxidant-rich foods, follow these beauty tips and get your beauty sleep.

Pro Tip: Try sneaking in a few minutes of facial massage using The Body Shop’s Oils of Life Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil. It boosts circulation and leaves you looking fresh and alive.

Key Takeaways

Getting your glow back in winter isn’t about fighting the cold; it’s about working with it. Think gentle care, lots of hydration, and glow-boosting ingredients like Vitamin C. With The Body Shop’s skincare products in your routine, you can wave goodbye to dull, tired skin and say hello to a soft, dewy, radiant you, even when it’s cold outside.

After all, winter may dull the skies, but your skin? It deserves to shine.
