As the temperatures drop and we cozy up in our favorite cashmere sweaters, it’s time to talk about how to keep your gorgeous glow all winter long!

The dry, cold winter weather can be harsh on our skin, hair and overall mood, but with the right tips and tricks, you can keep that elegant glow going all season long.

So pour yourself a hot cuppa tea, grab your favorite blanket and let’s dive into my ultimate winter beauty guide!

If you aspire to cultivate more elegance into your everyday, it’s important to remember that true elegance starts from the inside out. The better you take care of yourself, the better you can take care of others. The more confident you feel in your own skin, the easier it is to connect with others and who doesn’t love feeling and looking like their best self?

“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.”
— Coco Chanel

So today I’m sharing my Ultimate Winter Beauty Guide so you can cultivate that elegant glow all season long! You can use these simple tips to help build or refine your current self-care routines and perhaps, find a new product to try. Many of the products featured below are from my personal favorite French pharmacy brands and include clean beauty picks. Bonus! They are featured in the Amazon Winter Sale running through January 12 - so don’t sleep on these 4 Star+ Favorites!

Your Ultimate Winter Beauty Guide

  1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Dry winter air means hydration is key, although truly, hydration is the foundation to glowing skin all year round. Through the winter months, you may want to switch to rich moisturizer and don’t skimp on serums. Treat yourself to a hydrating face and hair mask and indulge in hot, calming cup of herbal tea before bed.

  2. Remember to Exfoliate: Yes, exfoliating is essential during the winter months as it helps to remove dead skin cells, allowing your moisturizer to penetrate better and keep your skin looking fresh. Don’t neglect your heels and other spots that tend to get rougher and drier in the winter months.

  3. Choose the Right Oil: Oils can sound scary if you’re not used to using them, but they are truly a game changer. I love rosehip oil (apparently loved by the Princess of Wales, so a natural choice!) and Vitamin C oil can help to brighten dull skin.

  4. Love Your Lips: Keep a hydrating lip balm nearby at all times! A gentle lip exfoliator can help brush off rough skin, although I also love to use just a bit of brown sugar and EVOO as a simple, natural lip scrub.

  5. Help Out Your Hair: Winter can mean dry, brittle and static prone hair. Consider adding a moisturizing shampoo or conditioner to your regular routine along with a weekly hydrating hair mask. Another favorite - the Klorane strengthening serum.

  6. Classic, Neutral Nails: Give your nails sometime to breath after the holidays with simple at-home treatments. Keep nails clean, short and well-kept to allow them to strengthen. Opt for classic neutrals for an always elegant look.

  7. Indulge in Self-Care: Whether it’s a quick 15 minutes a day or a lengthy Self-Care Sunday routine, embrace the slow winter months and indulge in a self-care ritual that leaves you feeling your best. Stock up on magnesium bath salts, your favorite tea and a good book!
