Say Goodbye to Witchy Skin

Proven Tips to Keep Your Skin Youthful All Season Long

Halloween is now over, and it’s time to shed that wrinkly, witchy skin—and yes, that applies to you too, guys. Don’t hide behind those beards! As the colder months set in, it’s common for skin to lose its glow, moisture, and elasticity. But with a few small adjustments to your daily routine, you can keep your skin looking firm, youthful, and hydrated all season long.

Here’s what you can do to maintain that fresh, youthful look:

How to Keep Your Skin Youthful

1. Hydrate Inside and Out

It's no secret that Hydrated skin looks more youthful. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain your skin’s moisture levels. For an extra hydration boost, try steam therapy at home or take a warm shower to open up your pores and allow moisture to penetrate deeper into your skin. Follow up with a rich, oily moisturiser to lock in the hydration.

As the weather cools, opt for heavier, oil-based moisturisers to protect against the cold. Lighter creams can cause dryness if used before heading out in cold temperatures.

Tip: Even without a steam shower, a bowl of hot water and a towel over your head can act as a quick DIY steam facial!

2. Add Infrared Sauna Sessions to Your Routine

If you have access to an infrared sauna, you’re in luck. Infrared heat boosts collagen production and improves skin elasticity. Regular sauna sessions can also increase circulation, making your skin firmer and reducing fine lines.

Tip: No infrared sauna? Warm baths can also relax your body, boost circulation, and keep your skin looking fresh.

3. Treat Your Skin to Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy isn’t just for muscle recovery—it also works wonders for your skin. Water massage improves circulation, which promotes faster skin cell turnover. This helps to maintain elasticity and prevent sagging. Cold water showers, in particular, help tighten your pores and give your skin a toned, youthful appearance.

Tip: Finish your shower with a burst of cold water to tighten skin and improve circulation.

4. Embrace the Power of Light with Chroma Therapy

Different colours of light can have varying effects on your skin. Red light therapy, for example, has been shown to increase collagen production, helping to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. You can incorporate chromatherapy by using light therapy devices at home or even soaking in natural sunlight (and yes, even on cloudy days, you can still get some benefits). Just don’t forget the sunscreen!

Tip: Daily walks outdoors offer skin the daylight it needs while boosting your mood. Always protect your skin from UV rays with sunscreen!

5. Keep Your Skin Nourished with Essential Oils

Aromatherapy can go beyond soothing your senses—it can benefit your skin too. Essential oils like rosehip, frankincense, and lavender are known for their skin-rejuvenating properties. Add a few drops to your bath or mix with a carrier oil and massage it into your skin for a DIY spa experience that helps fight wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Tip: Create your own essential oil blend with anti-aging oils like rosehip and apply it right after a warm bath for maximum absorption.

6. Exfoliate, But Don’t Overdo It

Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that make your skin look dull. Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week helps stimulate collagen production and reveals fresher, younger-looking skin. But be careful not to over-exfoliate, as this can irritate and dry out your skin.

Tip: Use natural exfoliants like sugar or oatmeal mixed with honey for a gentle, skin-friendly exfoliating treatment.

P.S.

You might notice that we recommend moisturising after a warm shower and finishing with a splash of cold water. Here’s how to balance the two: Finish with cold water, pat your skin dry (leaving it damp), then apply your moisturiser to lock in the moisture and create a protective barrier. This way, you get the best of both worlds—firm skin and lasting hydration!
