February is the heart of winter in Texas, leaving skin dry, flaky, and irritated. Now’s the time to shift your skincare to nourish and restore the skin barrier without harsh synthetics!
Enter Organic Skincare!
Organic skincare focuses on plant-derived botanicals and natural extracts – like rose, calendula, aloe, and green tea – that nourish and soothe without harsh synthetics or unnecessary chemicals. These ingredients have been shown to calm inflammation, support skin balance, and provide antioxidant benefits that help your complexion recover from winter dryness and prep for sun exposure ahead.
Organic products are also generally gentler, making them ideal for not only sensitive skin, but also for the seasonal transition when skin can be reactive or sensitized from cold weather. With organic formulas, you support your skin’s healthy function rather than overwhelming it with heavy coverage or strong actives right away. And because organic formulas are often more gentle, layering them builds lasting health and resilience, not just a quick fix.
Step-by-Step Organic Skincare Routine
1. Clean and Fresh
A gentle, plant-based cleanser is the first step to remove buildup from winter creams and makeup without stripping your skin. Choose a cleanser that uses soothing organic extracts to reset your skin’s surface. Our Fruit Enzyme Exfoliating Cleanser – which uses fruit enzymes and jojoba beads to support gentle renewal while cleansing – starts your skin out on the right foot.
2. Tone and Balance
After cleansing, a natural, toner-style botanical mist can help rebalance pH and prep your skin for corrective serums. Toners with organic extracts – such as our Multi-Vitamin Vino Toner with pomegranate and chamomile – support hydration and can help refine texture.
3. Target and Treat
This is where correction happens! Lightweight botanical serums help brighten tone, calm redness, or support smoother texture. Look for products with organic extracts, such as our Advanced Renewal Infusion, a targeted treatment with botanically derived Hyaluronic Acid and natural gotu oil for surface renewal and clarity.
4. Moisturize and Nourish
This time of year calls for moisture that’s rich enough to nourish but light enough not to weigh you down. Organic botanical oils deliver nutrients and antioxidants while balancing your skin’s natural oils. Our Age Defying Moisturizer uses cranberry and blueberry extract to soothe and hydrate, as well as botanically derived CoQ10 and DMAE to fight signs of aging.
Pro-tip: Always follow up with SPF when heading outdoors – even in winter or early spring – to protect your corrected, revitalized skin from UV damage!
Bottom Line
Late winter and early spring is the best time to focus on correction rather than coverage. By using organic, plant-powered products that soothe and balance irritation, support hydration without heaviness and encourage natural radiance instead of temporary concealment, you build a foundation of healthy, glowing skin that shines on its own. That’s the essence of an organic “Your Skin, But Better” approach – minimal makeup, maximum confidence!
