How to keep your skin nourished all winter long

Winter air gets drier and wind gets harsher. Skin, especially on your face and hands, bears the brunt of difficult weather conditions. When the sun starts to shine again, you might think you’re in the clear, but spring weather brings windy days that contribute to dry skin. The right soap for dry skin makes all the difference in how your skin feels. 

Winter weather dries out your skin
Winter dries out your skin. Whether it’s because you’re in a place with crazy dry air or because you’ve been wearing wool sweaters for the last several months, we know you’re ready for a little bit of spring weather. Unfortunately for your skin, spring doesn’t always bring relief. Sure, it starts to rain, and you might actually see grass under all that snow, but you’re still facing a bunch of cooler nights and windy days. Blasting the heat in your car or home doesn’t help, either.

Natural Soap helps fight dry skin
We’ve shared why we add essential oils to our soap, but we always come back to having the highest quality base to keep your skin healthy. All Dr. Squatch soap starts with the same ultra-nourishing foundation — saponified oils of olive, coconut, sustainably-sourced palm, and shea butter for even more skin healing benefits.

The cold process we use to make Dr. Squatch soap allows us to keep the glycerin in our bars. Glycerin works as a humectant, which is a fancy way of saying it draws moisture to the skin and acts as a protective barrier to keep that moisture from evaporating into the air. When you’re dealing with overheated office buildings and windy days, that added humectant can mean the difference between feeling moisturized for a short time or moisturized all day long. Additionally, all Dr. Squatch soap is free from harsh chemicals that can make dry, irritated skin worse.

Moisturize the right way
Post-shower, fighting dry winter skin starts with regular moisturizing with our natural hand and body lotion. Packed with powerful natural moisturizers like coconut oil and shea butter, it's the key to 24-moisture and soft, healthy skin.
