Outside it is freezing cold and inside it’s boiling hot not to mention dry – winter is a hard time for our skin. So it’s no surprise when our skin quickly becomes cracked. If you are wearing a scratchy wool sweater, there’s nothing you’d like more than fly up the wall. Make sure you don’t let it go that far. Take care of your skin with refatting moisturizing creams, for example, with our body care products. Make sure there is sufficient humidity in the rooms of your home by setting up bowls of water or wet towels. Above all: Be sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of water in the winter.
Winter is the dark time of year. And we’re not just talking about the fact that the sun barely shows itself. Some spirits become somber and depressive moods take over. Fragrances can do wonders – nature’s own entertainers. Take a bath for example with our “Joyful delight” bath salt and you’ll see: The refreshing, stimulating fragrance of golden osmanthus and lemon grass will cheer you up.
When everyone starts sniffling and sneezing during the winter months, your body’s natural defenses work around the clock. So it’s worth preparing yourself in advance with regular sauna sessions. Sauna sessions are a work out for your blood vessels and cardiovascular system. The heat speeds up your metabolism so you sweat out any resulting toxins. To ensure that your sauna session not only benefits your body, but also your senses, we recommend our sauna infusions with their delightful fragrances.
Tip 3: Sweat it out
Tip 1: Protect your skin
Tip 2: Let the sun shine in your heart
Tip 5: Take time to hibernate
Tip 4: Health lies in your stomach
Not to worry, you don’t have to crawl into a cave for months and sleep winter away like a bear. The fact is, however, adequate sleep is good for your health. And since our body tends to tell us during the dark months of the year that it is tired, feel free to give in this impulse more often. Make things cozy, make sure the temperature and humidity in your bedroom are right for sweet dreams. This works all the better if you relax beforehand with a massage using our calming skin oils.
Movement keeps us healthy and fit. The right treatment after physical activity to prevent unpleasant sore muscles is as important as a proper warm-up. Science still doesn’t have a clear answer as to what causes sore muscles. Whether it’s hyperacidity of muscles or small tears in muscle fibers, anything that promotes circulation after exercise is a welcome help.
- A warm herbal bath approx. 3–4 hours after activity promotes circulation in muscles and speeds up the repair process. Pine needle and rosemary are proven essential oils, which are particularly pleasant for muscle tension combined with a warm bath.
- A session in the sauna after exercise also offers relief and promotes circulation in the skin.
And after workout?
When winter comes around, make sure that you follow a healthy diet rich in vitamins. Oranges and mandarins, for example, are currently in stores and offer plenty of vitamin C. If you’re more in the mood for a juicy roast when it’s cold and icy outside, simply enjoy it with a serving of sauerkraut, which is also rich in vitamin C. Nuts are an excellent source of energy and packed with vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. As long as you keep it to a handful, you won’t have to worry about too many calories. Spices like ginger, anise or caraway provide warmth, stimulate your metabolism and are even anti-bacterial.
