THE WINTER SKIN HORMONE CONNECTION

When the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, your skin often feels as tired as you do. If you’ve noticed dullness, redness, or sudden breakouts during the colder months, your hormones — particularly cortisol — may be playing a bigger role than you think.

When hormones are imbalanced, your skin barrier becomes more vulnerable to inflammaging: low-grade, chronic inflammation that speeds up ageing and makes your skin more reactive.

Why Hormones Impact Your Winter Skin

Stress hormones like cortisol rise when your body is under pressure — and winter is no exception. The combination of cold air, central heating, busy schedules, and less sunlight can throw your system off balance, leaving skin prone to flare-ups.

Skin conditions such as:

  • Rosacea (6.68% of the global population)
  • Contact dermatitis (20%)
  • Eczema (200 million worldwide)
  • Acne (9.4%)

…all share one thing in common: inflammation, redness, and irritation.

“We know that inflammation is one of the leading causes of premature ageing of the skin, so including clinically proven natural ingredients that fight inflammation was important to us.”

5 Winter Skin Rituals To Help Calm Inflammaging + Rebalance

1. Treat from the Inside Out

Start with hormone balance. Our Sublingual Hormone Check Drops are designed to help balance hormones and reduce excess cortisol. One drop daily is enough to begin calming your system.

2. Support Your Gut Daily

A healthy gut = calmer skin. Prebiotics and fibre help balance hormones, while Timuet pepper found in our drops supports the gut-brain-skin connection.

3. Warm, Not Hot Showers

It’s tempting to turn up the heat on freezing days, but hot water strips your skin barrier and worsens dryness. Opt for lukewarm showers to protect already stressed skin.

4. Protect Your Skin Barrier

Lock in hydration and shield against external irritants in just five minutes with our Inflammaging Skin Solution + Love Language Lip Bloss.

5. Create an Evening Wind-Down Ritual

Stress management is as vital for skin as skincare. Try a mix of breathing exercises, chamomile tea, journaling, and affirmations to lower cortisol. Our Sleepy Butter enriched with magnesium glycinate helps you switch off deeply, while still feeling radiant in the morning.

Healing Beyond Skincare

It’s not “just bad skin.” It’s your body asking for support. Healing means slowing down, nourishing from the inside out, and protecting your system — even when life feels overwhelming. By creating small, consistent rituals, you help your skin stay resilient all winter long.
