Winter can leave your body feeling sluggish and your skin dry, but a few small, intentional moments in the morning and evening can make a real difference. These practical luxury self-care practices combine simple wellness habits with thoughtfully designed Nourish & Refine products, helping you start the day energized, wind down with calm, and feel cared for from head to toe all season long.
Morning Energy: Wake Up Gently & Brighten Your Senses
1. Hydrate & Refresh
- Begin with a glass of room-temperature water to rehydrate after sleep. This small, mindful step helps you feel more awake, refreshed, and ready to ease into your morning.
2. Stretch & Awaken Your Body
- Roll your shoulders, reach overhead, or gently twist for 2–3 minutes to loosen stiffness.
- Mist Citrus Face Mist 8–10 inches from your face, neck, and chest. The bright citrus scent refreshes skin while supporting hydration in dry winter air. (Quick tip: let it absorb a few seconds before moisturizing for best results.)
3. Moisturize & Energize Skin
- Smooth Winter Body Mousse over arms, legs, and chest. Its ultra-light, whipped texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft and subtly uplifted. (How to use: Warm a small amount in your hands before applying to arms, legs, and chest for an extra silky feel. The whipped texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft, lightly scented with uplifting lavender-citrus, and ready to start your day.)
4. Care for Your Lips
- Gently scrub with Lip Scrub, rinse, then layer on Gloss for smooth, comfortable and moisturized lips all day. (Bonus: keep a balm at your desk for a midday refresh.)
5. Center Your Mind
- Take a brief moment to note three things you’re grateful for. This simple pause helps you feel grounded and present before stepping into your day.
Evening Ease: Unwind, Soothe & Prepare for Rest
1. Shift Into Comfort
- Change into soft socks or wrap yourself in a cozy sweater to signal the end of the day.
- Take a few deep breaths to release tension from work or daily activities and settle into a calm mindset.
2. Set a Relaxing Atmosphere
- Play soft music or ambient sounds to enhance the feeling of calm.
- Light the Gather Candle to fill your space with uplifting citrus and balsam notes. (Candle tip: allow it to burn long enough for a full melt pool on first use, then trim the wick before relighting for an even burn.)
3. Spa-Inspired Bath or Shower
- Light the Spa Body Oil Candle in the bathroom while you run your bath or shower to create a spa-like ambiance. Warm water helps to relax your muscles and soothe the body.
- Use Spa Scrub from the Spa Gift Set to gently exfoliate and smooth dry winter skin. (Use tip: While in the shower or bath, gently massage the Spa Scrub in circular motions for a minute or two. Rinse, then enjoy soft, smooth skin with the subtle scent of lavender, rose, and geranium.)
4. Hydrate & Restore Skin
- Apply Spa Body Butter over your entire body for rich hydration and a soft lavender-rose scent.
- Pour a small amount of melted Spa Body Oil Candle onto the driest areas—heels, elbows, hands—for extra moisture and a luxurious finish. (How to: Once a pool of wax forms, blow the candle out. Let the warm oil cool slightly before massaging onto dry areas like elbows, heels, and hands to lock in moisture and enjoy the soothing lavender-rose scent.)
5. Create a Restful Mindset
- Slip under cozy bedding, put on a soft Eye Mask, and take 3–5 slow, deep breaths.
- Reflect on one small thing you’re grateful for today. The lingering scents from your candle and body care products help create a soothing environment for deep, restorative sleep.
Winter self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. A few mindful morning and evening practices can restore energy, calm your senses, and keep your skin feeling soft and nourished—even on busy days. Pairing these simple habits with luxurious Nourish & Refine products transforms everyday moments into indulgent self-care, leaving you balanced, refreshed, and ready to embrace the season.
