Cold air holds almost no moisture. Indoor heating holds even less. Your skin is not failing to make oil, it is losing water faster than it can replace it. Which is why a thicker cream on its own so often disappoints.
It is rarely one problem. It is three, stacked, and every one of them pulls in the same direction: water out.
Cold outdoor air carries very little water vapour, so moisture moves out of your skin and into the air the whole time you are outside.
Heating drops the humidity further. A heated room in January can sit drier than desert air, all night, every night.
Hot showers and stripping cleansers remove the skin's own lipids, the layer whose entire job is holding water in.
Put a heavy occlusive onto skin that has no water in it and you seal in the dryness. It feels better for an hour, then tight again.
Break it at the water step, and the rest of the routine finally has something to hold on to.
Water first, oil last.
This is the whole routine for winter skin. Each step exists to make the next one work.
Not a step in the routine. Count the things that touch your skin in a day: hand soap at the kitchen sink and again in the bathroom, body wash, dish soap, the all-purpose spray you wipe the counter with. Nearly all of them are built on harsh detergents, and every one of them strips a little more water and oil out of your skin. That is why hands crack first in winter.
This soap is made with organic coconut, olive, castor, argan, jojoba and hemp oils, with no synthetic fragrance and no palm oil. Being oil-based rather than detergent-based, it is far kinder to winter skin, and one concentrated bottle can replace several of the bottles above. Dilute it to taste.
Both kits save 29%.
These kits are new, so every review below was left on one of the products inside them.
“My skin gets very dry and itchy in the winter. This gel has greatly improved dryness. I mix it with a good moisturizing lotion. Great stuff!”
“I finally found something to treat my severely dry and painful skin. I also sleep so much better if I put it on at night.”
“Made my dry, aging skin feel soft and smooth. Liked the dropper bottle to prevent contamination.”
“The muscle benefits were apparent within days, but the skin improvements took about three weeks to become noticeable. My skin is now consistently soft and hydrated without additional products.”
“I use Pure Castile Soap as a hand and body wash. I have eczema and it has helped my skin from being so dry in the winter months. I'm glad I found your product.”
“The best aloe vera. As soon as it is applied it leaves the skin so soft.”
Not a knock on rich creams. The point is what a single occlusive can and cannot do alone.
98.7% certified organic, from freshly cut Texas-grown aloe, thickened with seaweed extract instead of xanthan so it sinks in without a sticky film.
One ingredient, full-spectrum D-alpha tocopherol, naturally sourced rather than synthetic. A few drops on the roughest spots.
Organic cocoa butter, sunflower oil and beeswax with natural vitamin E, over magnesium chloride drawn from an ancient Permian seabed in the United States.
Both contain the same three-step routine, and both save 29%. The Rescue Kit adds the castile soap. Take it if the hand soap at your sink, or the cleaners you wipe the counter with, are part of why your hands are cracking.
No, and we would rather be clear about that. The routine is aloe, vitamin E oil and the cocoa butter cream. The soap is there to replace the drying products you already own, so they stop undoing the routine between applications.
They work best as a sequence, because each step sets up the next. If you only do two, make them the aloe and the cream, applied one after the other. Water, then the layer that holds it in.
No. It is concentrated. Dilute it with water, roughly one part soap to three parts water for a body wash, more for hands and face. Used neat it is stronger than you need and less pleasant to rinse.
It is a butter-based cream, so it is genuinely rich. Applied to slightly damp skin and in a thin layer it absorbs; applied thickly to dry skin it will sit on top. Most people use it at night for that reason.
Skin usually feels less tight the same day, from the aloe and the cream. Holding that between applications rather than fading by lunchtime tends to take two to three weeks. Rough patches on knuckles, elbows and heels take longest.
If you take nothing else from this page, take the order. It is the part that makes the difference, and it costs nothing to change tonight.
