AD Embracing Winter Wellness Featuring Fenjal
As the seasons shift and winter settles in, we’re faced with shorter days, colder temperatures, and soon the frost and even snow will be with us. While the beauty of winter is undeniable and it’s by far my favourite season as I love to be cold, the change in weather can sometimes be difficult and affect our moods and especially our skin. Personally for me, I always take winter as the chance to up my self care, do lots of cosy things, truly embracing winter wellness and one of my favourite ways to do that is with one of my favourite brands, Fenjal.
Having a good self care routine when it comes to your skin comes naturally to some people, but not so naturally to others. For me, I’m really great at my skincare all year around but during the summer months, I don’t love putting on lotions and potions on my body after my baths and showers because of the heat. Which is why in the cooler months, I really try to make up for it and lather myself in my favourite Fenjal lotions. For others, self care looks different, and for most, it’s a combination of things. Here are some things that I’m going to be doing this year to embrace winter wellness.
Embracing Winter Wellness Featuring Fenjal
Midday Winter Strolls
Winter may be dark, but that doesn’t mean we can’t bask in the available sunshine, I’m planning to make sure I get out as often as I can when it’s the brightest. Midday strolls during your lunch break are a great way to brighten up your day and boost your mood, even if it’s just 5 or 15 minutes!
Cosy Up Your Space
I’ve already seen so many friends creating a warmer and even more inviting atmosphere in their homes with autumnal decor and getting out the blankets. We’ve done the same at my home and even the cats are loving the cooler, cosier days. Adding autumnal scented candles and diffusers with vanilla and/or cinnamon are also my favourite ways to embrace winter wellness. I find it takes the edge off the doom and gloom and makes you feel cosy and comforted instead.
Nourish from Within
With my never ending health problems I’m all about nutrition at the moment, from smoothies and juices to warmer herbal teas that are good for inflammation. It’s time to get the slow cooker out, or put the air fryer on slow cook mode and have all the super nutritious soups and stews to feed our cold bones this winter.
Indulge in Luxurious Bathing Rituals
I’m a massive advocate for that luxurious bath can really help with aches, pains, and stressful days. Why not transform your bathroom into a personal spa with a few simple tricks like low lighting, candles lit, music playing, and maybe go one step further and get one of those portable star lights for the ceiling!
One of my favourite baths ever is a Fenjal bath, I go through Fenjal bubble bath so often but it really does make such a dreamy bath. There’s also the classic Fenjal Creme Bath that just makes the entire house smell like an absolute dream. Always liked the idea of Fenjal but not the smell? Try the new Intensive range which is quite honestly gorgeous, the Oil Care Foam Bath is beyond beautiful, plus it’s pink!
Not a Bath Person? Luxurious Showers Can Be Amazing!
Fenjal have a lovely body wash range from their classic shower mousse, shower cream, body wash, and then the most hydrating shower oil to finish and really lock in that moisture. Plus they come in different fragrances too as Fenjal have several incredible ranges.
Nourish Your Skin
After a bath or shower it’s so important to lock all that moisture into your skin, not only does it help prevent dryness but it also strengthens your skin barrier and improves skin texture. With Fenjal’s body lotions and oils you’ll not only be locking in the hydration, you’ll be making yourself smell incredible too and who doesn’t want that? Be sure to apply a body lotion before an oil, you can use them on their own too but for the best results, you’ll want to use them together.
Don’t Forget Your Hands
Our hands often bear the brunt of winter’s chill which is why it’s so important to carry a good hand cream with us and keep applying it throughout the days, I always have a bottle of Fenjal Hand Cream on me now for go-to moisture. Make sure to keep a bottle next to your bed too so you can layer up for an intensive treatment before a good night’s sleep.
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s time to cocoon ourselves in comfort and care. Remember, self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential and it looks different to everyone. This winter, let’s explore some soul-soothing self-care rituals that will keep you glowing from the inside out, with a little help from our trusted friend, Fenjal!
