Winter hydration is pretty overlooked, but did you know that colder months can be just as dehydrating as summer? No? Let me tell you about it.
Here’s why it matters…
1. Cold Weather Dehydrates You Too – Cold air holds less moisture, and indoor heating zaps hydration from your skin and body.
2. Supports Energy & Focus – Dehydration can lead to fatigue and brain fog. Staying hydrated keeps you alert and productive.
3. Boosts Skin Health – Lack of hydration leads to dry, flaky skin. Proper hydration promotes a radiant winter glow. And you know, we like that shine!
4. Aids Digestion & Detoxification – Water helps keep digestion smooth and supports the body’s natural detox process. Thats includes bloating, gas and proper
5. Strengthens Immunity – Hydration supports the immune system, which is crucial in cold and flu season! Remember covid??
Becoming more intentional and paying specific attention to my skin's challenges and changes accompanying age as well as season, I began looking for ways to improve my self care routine, inside and out. This led me to find Tropics Skincare brand, female founded, all natural and vegan company. It's been a few months now and its time to share my love of the brand with you beauties in this delicious challenge of change…
Here is how:
Day 1: Hydrate from Within Are you drinking enough? The 8x8 rule (eight 8 oz glasses per day) is a great start! Focus on tracking your water intake and notice how you feel.
Pro tip: Herbal teas, lemon water, and coconut water count too!
Day 2: Eat Your Water Did you know some foods are over 90% water? Cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, and celery keep you hydrated and glowing. Add one water-rich food to your meals. Not only are you getting those much needed vitamins, you break up the water chugging mindset and move to a complete meal lifestyle change.
Bonus: Use Tropic’s Hydration Boost Mist for an extra refresh!
Day 3: Protect Your Skin Barrier Hydration isn’t just about drinking water—it’s about locking it in! Winter air dries out your skin, so layer a good moisturizer.
Use a light weight oil to help create a hydration shield. Focus on Hydrate + Moisturize for that winter glow! I use - Tropic’s Skin Feast & Elixir Oil
Day 4: Move & Hydrate We sweat less in winter, but we still lose water! Whether you're hitting the gym, skating, or stretching at home, sip before, during, and after. Today, drink a glass of water before movement, and follow up with a hydrating skincare routine.I’ll share mine on the gram so be sure you are following along!
Day 5: Hydration Rituals for Mind & Body Hydration isn’t just about water—it’s about relaxation too. Brew a cup of herbal tea, do a 5-minute breath work session, and pamper your skin.
Bonus: Spritz a DIY Rose water face mist or try Tropic’s Hydration Mist to refresh & hydrate on the go! Love a little midday top up from a cute and sassy spray bottle conveniently tucked in my tote bag!
Day 6: Try a mini facial with steam to plump, pamper and clear out those pores, followed by a light mask (with cucumbers on the eyes).
Day 7: Celebration Day! You made it..
Drink a tall glass of water jazzed up with your favourite fruits, berries and/or supplements - I love Vital Collagen powder Mocktails like Chai Expresso Martini and Cosmopolitan mock or simply added in my Caramel Lattes! Collagen peptides can help improve skin elasticity. Give it a try!
