November Skin Care Rituals: Nourish Your Skin with Gratitude
Posted by Stephanie Phillips on Oct 24th 2024
As the weather shifts and the air becomes cooler, it’s easy to forget how much our skin does for us. This November, take a moment to express gratitude for your body’s largest organ by giving it the care it deserves. Incorporating mindful, nourishing skin care routines not only protects your skin but also provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and appreciate all that your body does for you.
1. Hydrate Inside and Out
Cooler temperatures can strip moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and dull. Combat this by doubling down on hydration. Make sure to drink plenty of water and opt for skincare products with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or glycerin. Drinking herbal teas like chamomile or rooibos can also support your skin’s natural hydration.
2. Nourish with Oil-Based Skin Serums
Oil-based skin serums provide deep nourishment and hydration, especially during the colder months when skin tends to become drier. These serums, often made with oils like almond or jojoba, are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that help to repair, hydrate, and protect the skin. Apply a few drops after cleansing to lock in moisture and give your skin a radiant, healthy glow.
Laguna Lily has a line of all natural vegan skin serums great for this time of year
3. Exfoliate to Revive Your Glow
With the changing weather, dead skin cells can build up, leaving your complexion dull. Gently exfoliate once or twice a week with a natural exfoliant like ground oats or a sugar scrub to reveal brighter, smoother skin. This is a perfect time to give thanks to your skin by removing what no longer serves it.
4. Protect with a Rich Body Butter
The colder months can challenge your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Applying a rich, plant-based body butter with ingredients like shea butter can deeply nourish and protect your skin. Shea butter locks in moisture and create a soft, supple layer of protection. Think of this as a comforting, luxurious ritual—an act of gratitude for all the hard work your skin does every day.
Laguna Lily Body Butters are an amazing addition to your skin care routine. You will not only stave off winter dryness but you will also be repairing any damage done by overexposure to the sun.
5. Mindful Skincare Moments
Turn your skincare routine into a daily act of mindfulness. As you apply your products, take a few deep breaths, and think about how they nourish and care for your skin. This small moment of gratitude can shift your entire day and bring more peace into your life.
Conclusion:
November is a time to pause and give thanks. By incorporating these skin care rituals into your daily routine, you’re not just protecting your skin from the elements, you’re practicing gratitude for the incredible job your body does every day. Take this month to celebrate yourself, your health, and your radiant skin.
