Winter is here, and with it comes the joy of cozy sweaters, hot cocoa, and snowflakes. But let’s be real, winter isn’t always kind to your skin. (argh!)
Dryness, flakiness, and that tight, uncomfortable feeling can ruin the vibe.
No worries though! With a few simple hacks, you can keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and glowing all season long.
Plus, we’ve got the ultimate winter saviors lined up for you—our IKOS Body Wash and Body Lotion (Because we love you a little extra!)
But Why Does Winter Affect Your Skin?
Before we dive into the solutions, let’s understand the causes of your delicate skin becoming rough as sandpaper when the climate is chilly.
1. Low Humidity Levels
Cold air causes skin to lose moisture because cold air is able to ‘hold’ less moisture than warm air and hence dries out the skin even faster than when one is gossiping.
2. Indoor Heating
Cozy heaters? Yes. Skin hydration? Nope. Artificial heating dries up the air and just sucks humidity right out of it.
3. Hot Showers
Yes, you adore them, but they remove the skin’s natural moisture, making it dry.
4.Wind
Those icy gusts outside? It will chap your skin within few seconds if you are a victim.
But don’t worry, with we’ve got you three simple yet effective hacks,
3 Simple Hacks to Protect and Nourish Your Skin
1. Switch to a Hydrating Body Wash
Your summer body wash might smell amazing, but winter calls for a moisturizing formula. Look for ingredients like aloe vera and shea butter, which cleanse without stripping your skin.
Our body wash is a winter wonder. It lathers up beautifully and leaves your skin soft, hydrated, and nourished. (Because who doesn’t love skin that feels amazing?)

2. Lock in Moisture with the Right Body Lotion
The trick is to apply lotion right after your shower while your skin is still damp. This simple step helps lock in moisture and keeps your skin feeling soft and nourished throughout the day.
A rich and creamy formula with natural oils works wonders for combating dryness, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed.
