If you want to become a skincare expert during winter, the first thing to know is layering and why it’s important. No, we’re not talking about your favorite jacket, scarf, and gloves; we’re talking about layering your skincare products with intention this chilly season!
Here’s the lowdown on how to layer your skincare to get the most out of your routine and strengthen the skin barrier so that your microbiome is supported during the coldest months of the year.
Rich Cleansers
It’s time to set aside the foaming cleansers and bring out the oil-based cleansers for winter. Every step in our skincare routine is an opportunity to add moisture and healing properties. With an oil-based cleanser, we start our skincare routine right without stripping our skin of essential oils it needs to look and feel its best.
For makeup wearers, we recommend double cleansing to remove all products before moving on to the next step!

Serums with Intention
When layering products, remember this simple rule: lightest to heaviest. This order ensures each product is properly layered, allowing your skin to soak in all the benefits. During winter, it’s especially important to choose serums specifically formulated for deep hydration.
Our Rose C Serum is a winter essential, bringing a natural glow and a supple, radiant complexion to your skin.
🐝 Honey Girl Tip: As you apply each product to your skin, give it a minute or two to fully absorb before moving to the next step. Allowing this time between layers helps each product soak in deeply, making a noticeable difference in your results.
Hydrating Moisturizers
Choosing the right moisturizer for winter is key! We want one that supports, heals, and repairs the skin to easily tackle dryness. Our go-to? The Rose Crème—a 5-star favorite! Our customers rave about its moisturizing magic, with one saying, “Both the Rose Crème & Rose C Serum are amazing. A little goes a long way to moisturize my skin. It feels and smells fabulous and seriously leaves my skin glowing.”
The Rose Crème is especially great in winter because it contains organic argan oil. This oil has an anti-sebum effect, meaning it helps regulate excess oil production on the skin, which reduces the potential for skin congestion and clogged pores. At the same time, it deeply nourishes and protects your skin from the harsh winter elements, delivering hydration without adding extra oiliness.
🐝 Honey Girl Tip: For those especially dry patches that never seem to go away, add Super Skin Food to your winter skincare arsenal. This versatile balm is perfect for the face and elbows or even for healing a burn! It will become your go-to for mending, soothing, and repairing stubborn dry spots, ensuring your skin stays calm and hydrated all season.
Nourishing Sun Protection
Just because its winter doesn’t mean we can ignore sun exposure, especially with added factors like wind and dry air. That’s where our Protect stick comes in. Whether you’re skiing, dining outdoors, or taking a winter walk, the Protect stick is your shield against the elements, offering protection from wind, sun, and environmental pollutants.
Winter is the perfect time to refine your skincare routine! If you’re ready to become a winter skincare expert, start by layering with intention and giving your skin the nourishment it needs.
