Make Winter Wonderful for Your Skin ❄️

Natural Winter Skincare: Simple, Gentle and Deeply Nourishing

Winter can be harsh, but your skincare routine does not need to be.

With Coraline Skincare, you give your skin a simple and natural routine that hydrates deeply, supports the skin barrier and feels beautifully indulgent.

Whether you use a few drops of one our facial oils after cleansing, smooth our Soothe and Smooth body oil over warm skin or massage a little melted candle balm onto dry hands, these small rituals create skin that feels soft, comfortable and cared for all winter.

Taking care of your skin in winter does not need to be complicated. The colder the weather, the more your skin benefits from a simple, gentle routine built around nourishment, hydration and protection. This applies to your face and your body.

With central heating on indoors and cold, dry winds outside, the skin loses moisture quickly. With the right natural products, winter skin can feel soft, calm and comfortable.

Here is how to care for your skin throughout the colder months using Coraline Skincare’s multi-award-winning essentials.

Start with a gentle and nourishing cleanse

Many cleansers, especially liquid ones, strip the skin of the natural oils that protect it. In winter, those oils are even more essential than ever.

Our nourishing Luminous Lavender Oil Cleansing Balm easily removes makeup, SPF and daily build up without disturbing the skin barrier. Natural oils bind to excess sebum and impurities, leaving your skin hydrated after cleansing rather than tight.  It also feels incredibly luxurious.

You can also use one of our organic Face and Body Soap Bars for your morning shower, or as part of a double cleanse in the evening. This really feels like such a lovely pamper for your skin before you move on to boosting your glow with our oil serums.

Follow with a hydrating facial tonic and oil

Winter is the season when your skin wants nourishment most. Oils provide rich hydration because they mimic the lipids your skin naturally produces. This helps repair the barrier, reduce redness and lock in moisture.

Botanical Balance Calming Facial Tonic 

Whenever we first speak to somebody about using one of our facial oils, the first thing we always highlight is the importance of applying a liquid before applying the oil.  You can add oil on to dry skin but it is way less effective, and you will use more oil.  In very simple terms, our skin is made of three main components:  water, lipids (oils) and proteins (collagen, keratin, elastin etc).  If you use a liquid such as water with the oil you have addressed two of the three, and you seal the moisture into the skin – the magic of the oils is that their compounds naturally help to stimulate the proteins, which is like magic if you ask me.

So why Botanical Balance Calming Facial Tonic instead of plain water?  I describe our tonic as water as water with benefits.  It contains gentle calming elements from the lavender, rose, spearmint and aloe vera which also naturally balance your skin’s pH, which is very important for your skin to feel calm and nourished.  

You Must Be Sisters Collagen and Ceramide Boosting Facial Oil

You Must Be Sisters is one of the best products you can use in winter because it gives the skin exactly what it loses most during the colder months: nourishment, protection and a natural, healthy glow.

Winter air is dry and indoor heating strips moisture and the skin barrier works much harder. This facial oil restores what winter takes away.

It is a true nutritional powerhouse for your skin. It contains over 100 beneficial nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants from cold pressed sea buckthorn, rosehip, açai and blackcurrant oils. These beautiful oils deliver essential fatty acids, antioxidants, carotenoids and generous levels of vitamin C to brighten dull winter skin and help it look more alive, even on grey days.

It also naturally contains trans-retinoic acid, a gentle plant based form of vitamin A that supports collagen, elasticity and the visible signs of ageing. This helps counteract the winter related breakdown that often makes skin look tired or dehydrated.

The result is skin that feels calm, deeply nourished and protected from the harshness of the season, with a soft, radiant glow that instantly lifts a wintry complexion.

SOS Recovery Instant Hydration Facial Oil

SOS Recovery is one of the best products to reach for in the colder months because winter skin needs fast, deep nourishment. As the name suggests, it is a restorative, replenishing facial oil designed to hydrate, repair and bring back radiance when your skin is feeling dry, tight or tired.

Winter pulls moisture from the skin faster than any other season. Indoor heating, cold winds and low humidity all weaken the skin barrier. SOS Recovery steps in to replenish what has been lost and to keep the skin comfortable and glowing.

It is crafted with some of the finest cold pressed oils. Pomegranate, baobab and borage seed oils deliver a rich supply of essential fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants and calming nutrients. These help soothe winter irritation, reduce dryness and support a stronger, healthier skin barrier.

It also contains amaranth oil, which has the highest percentage of natural plant-based squalene of any oil. This is incredibly valuable for skin as it ages, helping it to stay supple, cushioned and deeply moisturised.

The result is skin that feels soft, calm, hydrated and beautifully restored, even on the coldest winter days.

Immortelle Everlasting Radiance Facial Balm

Immortelle Everlasting Radiance Facial Balm is the perfect companion for cold, windy winter days. When you are out and about in the elements, your skin can lose moisture quickly and start to feel tight or dull. Keeping this little balm with you makes all the difference.

The mini version slips easily into your handbag or coat pocket, and even the tiniest amount gives an instant boost of hydration and comfort. It also doubles as a beautifully nourishing lip balm, which is something almost everyone needs in winter.

This uplifting and deeply nourishing facial balm helps moisturise, revitalise and brighten your skin. The melting texture is sublime. It softens immediately on contact with your skin, soaking in quickly to leave it ultra hydrated, velvety soft and naturally radiant.

It is made with a blend of the finest plant oils and butters, chosen especially for their winter benefits. Skin soothing rosehip helps calm dryness and irritation, brightening mango seed butter brings a smooth, healthy glow, and collagen supporting amaranth oil keeps the skin feeling supple and protected.

The scent is divine. Immortelle essential oil gives a warm, comforting and gently uplifting aroma that feels especially beautiful on dark winter mornings and cold evenings.

It is a small winter luxury that keeps your skin glowing wherever the season takes you.

Remember to look after your body too

It is easy to focus only on the face as our body is under so many layers in winter, but winter dryness does affect the whole body. Cold winds, low humidity and indoor heating all draw moisture away from the skin, leaving it dull, tight and uncomfortable. This is when a nourishing body oil becomes an essential part of feeling relaxed and happy in your own skin.

Soothe and Smooth Body Oil is lightweight yet deeply restorative. It helps calm winter itchiness and replenishes moisture that disappears so quickly at this time of year. After a warm bath or shower, it sinks in beautifully, leaving your skin soft, supple and instantly comforted.

This gorgeous oil is formulated using a healing blend of organic plant oils and botanicals, including apricot kernel, jojoba and macadamia nut oils. These oils are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins that help strengthen the skin barrier and bring back a bright, healthy winter glow. They also support natural collagen production, helping the skin stay supple through the colder months.

Soothe and Smooth hydrates the body, hands and feet quickly, wrapping your skin in long lasting nourishment. It is the perfect winter companion for anyone who wants soft, calm and beautifully moisturised skin from head to toe.

A warm winter moment for your skin with our beautiful candles

There is something especially comforting about lighting our candles on a dark, cold winter evening. When the light fades early and the air feels crisp, a warm, glowing candle can transform your whole space and instantly make the night feel softer.

Our Skin Treatment Candles are created to be kind to the planet and kind to your skin. As the candle melts, it turns into a warm, silky balm that you can smooth over your hands, feet, shins or anywhere that needs soothing. The texture feels velvety, rich and nourishing, leaving your skin beautifully soft, hydrated and comforted.

The scent is such a big part of the experience. Each candle releases a calming blend of natural aromatherapy oils that help you unwind after a long winter day. As it burns, the fragrance fills the room gently, creating a cosy, relaxing atmosphere you can sink into. When you massage the warm oils onto your skin, the scent becomes even softer and more intimate, settling close to the skin like a warm winter hug.

Light one of our new Skin Treatment Candles on a dark evening, breathe in the grounding natural scent and enjoy the warm, melted oils as a rich, indulgent balm. It feels like warmth, calm and deep winter nourishment all in one simple moment.

And even when you are not using the balm on your skin, you will still love how these candles fill the room with light and the air with a beautiful natural scent, and how they make your home feel instantly more inviting.

Support Your skin from the inside out

In winter, the body loses moisture more quickly, so what you eat and drink has a real impact on your skin.

Simple changes can really help:

Limit alcohol and coffee consumption as these can affect dry skin because they are both diuretics, which can cause dehydration if you don't drink enough water to compensate. Dehydration can lead to dull, dry skin, and excessive consumption can also negatively impact sleep, which further affects skin's appearance and recovery.

Eat water rich foods such as leafy greens, cucumber, apples, berries and citrus.

Boost essential fatty acids with nuts, seeds and avocado.

Drink water steadily throughout the day.

Enjoy warm, nourishing meals rich in minerals and antioxidants.
