The Only Beauty Routine You Need for Winter 2024

No one likes chapped lips and dry skin, but sometimes it can feel inevitable when the weather starts getting cold. Your skin doesn’t have to get damaged this winter. We’re sharing all the best ways to protect your skin this winter and make sure you have the best makeup no matter how cold it gets. Let’s dive into the best ways to protect your skin barrier and perfect your winter skincare and makeup routines. 

Don’t Skimp on Moisturizing 

Staying moisturized during the harsh winter season is important. Cold weather can damage our skin, stripping away natural oils and leading to dryness, flakiness, itchiness, and cracking. Moisturizing will not only protect your skin’s barrier, but it will smooth your skin, make your makeup last longer, prevent flaking, and make foundation and concealer applications easier, smoother, and long-lasting. Our Beauty Shop has the perfect moisturizer for every skin type. Our Rejuvenate Moisturizer is formulated to support collagen production and optimize hydration, perfect for protecting your skin this winter.

When it comes to moisturizing, don’t forget to moisturize your entire body. We often forget, but our whole body can fall victim to the cold air during the winter. Our Oat Milk & Honey Soap is a great way to begin making sure your whole body is moisturized. Our soap is perfect for sensitive and multi-issue skin types. This soap will gently exfoliate you, leaving your skin feeling smooth and moisturized. Follow up our soap with a good body moisturizer, like CLARINS’ Moisture-Rich Hydrating Body Lotion, DR. JART+’s Ceramidin Body Lotion, or OUAI’s Hand Cream… cause of course we have to make sure our hands don’t get cracked and damage this winter. 

Yes, Even Your Hair Needs Extra TLC 

You might not expect this, but your hair needs some extra care during the winter. Dry cold air can draw out the moisture in your hair and make it prone to dryness. If your hair gets too dry, this can lead to frizz, breakage, an itchy scalp, brittle hair, tangles, and lack of volume. Instead of trying to deal with frizz, hair breakage when we sleep or comb our hair, and more, let’s get to the root of the problem. This winter, we’re moisturizing our hair before our hair gets damaged in the cold. Our Nourish Hair Oil and Glow & Flourish Hair Oil are great products to maintain moisture in your hair no matter how cold and harsh the winter gets. The Nourish Hair Oil supports hair health with a distinct formula of oils, honey, shea butter, and more to strengthen, revitalize, and calm your scalp. The Grow & Flourish Hair Oil combines natural oils, vitamins, and Niacinamide to create an oil that aids hair growth and health. Both of these oils can be applied to dry or damp hair, as a pre-wash oil or between wash days. Remember, you can bundle any two products from The Beauty Shop to receive 10% off your order. 

Say Goodbye to Chap Lips 

Not only do chap lips hurt, but they mess up any lip looks you try out. Rather than struggling with lipstick that looks patchy, flaky, and cracks, you can make sure your lips stay smooth, and your lipstick looks great by getting ahead of the dryness. Some of our favorite lip products are Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask, Glossier Balm Dotcom, and of course the classics: Aquaphor Lip repair and Vaseline Lip Therapy. 

Adding A Little Glow

Do you have two different shades for your foundation and cover up, depending on the summer and winter? While tanners and bronzers might not be needed to combat dryness from the winter, they are needed to combat dull skin during the time of year when we get less sun and are inside more. Our favorite products are the ones that incorporate skincare elements while bringing a glow to our complexion. OLEHENRIKSEN’s Banana Bright Sun-Kissed Self-Tanning Face Primer with Vitamin C gives you a temporary tan while brightening your complexion with Vitamin C and illuminating your complexion. MILK MAKEUP’s Hydro Grip + Glow Illuminating Primer with Light Reflecting Pearls locks in makeup while giving you a luminous glow that will brighten your skin regardless of the cold. 

Protecting Your Barrier: SPF Edition 

Sunscreen isn't the first thing we think about during the winter. In fact, a lot of people skimp out on sunscreen during the winter since they think they don’t need it since the sun isn’t out as much. UV rays are still harmful during the winter. The ozone is at its thinnest, plus snow and ice can reflect up to 80% of the sun’s rays. Sunscreen can protect your skin, decreasing your risk of skin damage, like burns, wrinkles, dark spots, and more. Sunscreen can also help maintain your skin’s moisture. Some of the best winter sunscreens on the market are SAIE’s Sunvisor Radiant Moisturizing Face Sunscreen, Estée Lauder’s DayWear Anti-Oxidant 24-Hour Moisturizer Cream, and CLINIQUE’s Mineral Face Sunscreen.
