Autumn to Winter: How to Energise Your Skin, Body, and Soul

As we transition from the warm, golden days of autumn to the crisp, cozy winter months, our bodies naturally crave extra care. This seasonal shift can be hard on our skin, energy levels, and mental well-being. Fushi, known for its pure, sustainably sourced wellness products, offers a range of natural remedies to support your skin, body, and soul through these cooler months. Here’s how to embrace this seasonal transition with nourishing practices and some of our products to keep you glowing, energised, and uplifted all winter long.

Winter's colder temperatures and drier air can sap moisture from your skin, leaving it feeling tight, dull, or sensitive. Below, are some of our recommended products that will offer deep nourishment, keeping your skin hydrated, balanced, and radiant.

Rosehip oil is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. It's especially good for maintaining skin elasticity and helping with fine lines, making it a great choice for winter dryness.

Usage: Apply a few drops at night after cleansing to lock in moisture and rejuvenate the skin.

Known as "liquid gold," argan oil is full of vitamin E and fatty acids, making it highly moisturising and ideal for combating winter’s dry air. It’s also lightweight and absorbs well, making it suitable for daily use.

Usage: Warm a few drops in your hands and gently massage it into your face, neck, or even dry areas like elbows and knees.

Tip: Pair these products with a humidifier in your bedroom to keep your skin hydrated through the night.

As winter settles in, the colder temperatures and lower humidity levels can lead to a range of skin issues, including dryness, flakiness, and dullness. While many people focus on moisturizing during these months, exfoliation is equally important. 

Regular exfoliation during winter helps remove the buildup of dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers and nourishing oils to penetrate more effectively. This keeps your skin looking fresh, smooth, and radiant, even in the harshest conditions.

1. Combatting Dry, Flaky Skin The dry winter air and indoor heating can sap moisture from the skin, leaving it looking dull and feeling rough. Exfoliation helps to slough off dead, flaky skin cells that can make your complexion appear uneven and feel dehydrated. This gentle removal of dead cells reveals fresh, healthy skin underneath.

2. Enhancing Product Absorption When skin becomes dry and flaky, it can create a barrier that prevents moisturisers and oils from sinking in effectively. By exfoliating regularly, you clear away that barrier, allowing your serums, creams, and oils to penetrate more deeply and work their magic. This is especially important in winter when hydration is essential for maintaining a glowing complexion.

3. Brightening Dull Winter Skin Winter can often leave skin looking tired and lacklustre. Exfoliation promotes cell turnover, which helps brighten your skin and enhance your natural radiance. It also helps improve blood circulation, giving your face a healthy glow—something we all crave during the darker, colder months.

Exfoliation should be gentler and less frequent in winter than in summer. Over-exfoliating can strip the skin of its natural oils, making dryness worse. For most skin types, exfoliating once or twice a week is ideal during the colder months. If your skin is sensitive, opt for a mild exfoliant and consider exfoliating just once a week.

In winter, opt for exfoliators that hydrate as well as exfoliate. Natural scrubs with ingredients like rice bran, sugar, or oatmeal provide gentle physical exfoliation without irritating or drying out the skin. Ingredients like jojoba and enzymes from papaya or pineapple offer even milder exfoliation for sensitive skin types. Look for products that are infused with nourishing oils, such as rosehip, almond, or argan oil, which help keep the skin soft and hydrated as you exfoliate.

After exfoliating, always follow up with a hydrating product to lock in moisture. A nourishing oil or moisturiser will help seal in hydration and protect the fresh skin revealed by exfoliation. Fushi’s Organic Argan Oil is a great choice for this, as it provides rich moisture without clogging pores.

Be mindful of your skin's response. If your skin starts feeling irritated, reduce the frequency of exfoliation or switch to a gentler product. Winter skincare should always balance exfoliation with hydration, ensuring your skin stays soft, smooth, and healthy throughout the season.

Yes, SPF is still a must, even in winter! Although Fushi doesn’t currently offer an SPF product, you can pair their nourishing oils with an SPF moisturiser to ensure skin remains hydrated and protected from harmful rays that can cause premature aging.

Winter often brings a desire to hibernate but staying active and energised is key to feeling your best. Our range of supplements and wellness blends can support your body from the inside out, fuelling energy, improving immunity, and keeping winter blues at bay.
