The December Edition I Buzz-Worthy Favorites from Honey Girl Organics

Welcome to the December Edition of Buzz-Worthy Favorites from Honey Girl Organics!

We love curating this monthly wrap-up for you. It’s inspired by customer feedback, trending moments in the skincare world, and a few hidden gems we've uncovered across the vast corners of the web.

Grab a blanket, curl up on the couch, and let’s dive into the skincare tips, tricks, and seasonal lifestyle advice you need to thrive during this time of the year! 

HGO’s Favorite Product of December: Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive

Wondering if you’re using the right moisturizer for winter?

If you haven’t updated your facial moisturizer yet, consider this your sign! While water-based formulas may work in the summer, they often fall short when the weather turns cold.

• If your moisturizer comes in a pump bottle, it’s likely water-based—ideal for summer but not the best for fall or winter.
• If it comes in a jar, it’s usually a thicker, oil-based formula—perfect for locking in moisture and protecting your skin during the colder months.

With this, it’s no shock that the Face & Eye Crème Extra Sensitive has earned its spot as our buzz-worthy favorite product of the month, thanks to all the glowing feedback from our customers, making it our top pick for a rich moisturizer this December!

Why do you recommend an "Extra Sensitive" formula? 

This formula skips the highly diluted essential oils found in our original version, making it gentle and ideal for winter’s harsh conditions. Whether battling dry skin, acne, or eczema, this cream soothes and protects without the risk of irritation.

December’s Lifestyle Tip: Keep Moving!

It’s easy to stay active in the summer with endless plans and outdoor activities. But winter can slow things down, and your skin might feel the effects. Dull, and tired looking skin can benefit from keeping your body moving this season!

A heart-pumping workout a few times a week boosts circulation, improves blood flow, and the best part is that your skin reaps the rewards too.

Here are a few ideas to keep moving this winter:

• Bundle up and take brisk walks with friends.
• Try hot yoga to warm up from the inside out.
• Stay cozy indoors with YouTube Pilates or other at-home workouts.

Beauty Tip for December: Protect Your Skin from Water Contact

This might sound unusual but trust us—it’s a game-changer! Winter already dries out your skin thanks to less sunlight, dry indoor heat, and colder air. Spending extra time in hot water strips your skin of its natural oils even more.

Opt for shorter, warm showers instead of long, hot ones. The result? Softer skin, with fewer dry patches! 

Honey Girl Tip: Apply body oil before your shower to create a protective barrier over your skin. Don’t have body oil? A light layer of extra virgin olive oil works beautifully as a DIY option. You’ll leave the shower feeling soft and smooth all winter! Just be careful when getting in and out because it makes for a slippery tub.

Skincare Tip for December: Don’t Forget Your Lips

One winter skincare step we keep seeing overlooked is lip care! It’s surprising how often this crucial area is left out of winter skincare guides, especially since your lips have thinner skin and no oil glands, making them extra vulnerable this time of year.

Here’s a simple lip care routine we love:

• Take a small amount of Facial Scrub and gently exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin and flakiness.
• Follow up with our Lip Balm Pot, made with organic olive oil and beeswax, to deeply nourish and hydrate your lips.
• For overnight care, keep the Lip Balm Pot by your bed. Apply a generous layer before sleep to wake up with soft lips every morning!
