This change of seasons brings the importance of winter wellness. From staying warm during the colder days and nights to paying special attention to protection and treatment of lips from harsh weather and stress to transitioning your skincare to winter to taking care of your hands and feet and keeping your body moving, winter wellness is so important.
Today I am excited to share with you, in partnership with Babbleboxx, five tips for winter wellness.
Organic Rooibos Tea Bags with Collectible Tin from BOS
1. Drink a Cup of Hot Tea
One of my favorite ways for staying warm during the colder days and nights of winter is with a hot cup of organic herbal tea. Organic Rooibos Tea Bags with Collectible Tin from BOS is my current go-to when I need a winter warm-up. Rich in antioxidants, electrolytes and essential minerals, I love that BOS organic Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine free, so you can enjoy it morning, noon and night!
I like to grab the book I'm currently reading, steep 1 bag of BOS Tea in freshly boiled water in my favorite mug for 3-4 minutes and curl up in a cozy corner of my home to relax, even for just 15 minutes. BOS Rooisbo tea is rehydrating, detoxifiying, immune boosting and has anti-aging benefits! All essential for winter wellness. This moment of calm during a cold winter day is key to my wellness during the winter season. High recommend adding this moment to your day!
Grown only in the Cederberg Mountains outsitade of Capetown, South Africa, BOS rooibos is 100% organic and packed with antioxidants and essential minerals. I visited Capetown and other parts of South Africa during a study abroad in college and am immediately transported back to these days of travel upon every sip.
I love that the Organic Rooibos Tea Bags with Collectible Tin from BOS is a reusable, hinge-top tin that holds up to 40 tea bags. Yay for the ability to reuse and not just throw away. The tin is super fun too! Want to try Organic Rooibos Tea Bags with Collectible Tin from BOS? Use code BABBLE20 through December 1, 2020 for a special offer!

2. Protect and Treat Your Lips
Cold air quickly sucks moisture from our skin and with additional exposure to colder temperatures, as well as shifting temperatures going from a warm indoors into a cold outside, winter is the season to pay special attention to both protection and treatment of your lips.
Harsh winter winds can dry out lips and make them more hospitable to the virus that causes cold sores. Boo. With less vitamin D in your system and often more stress from the holidays, winter weather can often be a trigger to cold sores, fever blisters and chapped lips. I can raise my hand to this.
I am not a fan of cold sores, yet they are a fan of me. At least they used to be. In my 20's I was particularly prone to them and I've noticed with age that I have fewer outbreaks. But, every once in a while, if I'm particularly stressed or menstruating, an outbreak will happen.
The good news, though, is unlike my 20's when I was incredibly embarrassed about one popping up, I now know how to treat them. I also know that ~90% of the world's population has the virus that triggers them (so no need to be embarrassed!)
In my medicine cabinet, I now always keep a treatment for cold sore relief, particular in winter. Herpecin L helps treat, protect and relieve cold sores, fever blisters and chapped lips. It includes Lysine PLUS has Vitamins B6, C and E, as well as lemon balm and a skin protectant to promote healing without numbing or drying, lock in moisture and prevent painful cracking. It also has SPF 30 to help protect against future flare ups caused by the sun.
Formulated to promote healing without numbing or drying, lock in moissture and prevent painful cracking of cold sores, fever blisters and dry lips, Herpecin L includes a complex of lysine, Vitamins B6, C & E and lemon balm. I no longer let cold sores get the best of me! Herpicin L works fast to help treat, protect and relieve cold sores and fever blisters, as well as protects your lips from future flair ups caused by the sun.
Herpecin L can be used everyday to keep lips moisturized
and to protect against future flare ups caused by cold weather and UV
exposure. Or you can use at the first sign of a cold sore episode for
cold sore relief.
Witch Hazel Recharge with Grapefruit Alcohol Free Toner from Humphreys
3. Transition Your Skincare to Winter
Similar
to adjusting your summer to winter wardrobe, your skincare routine
needs an adjustment too. With changes in humidity, drops in temperatures
and exposure to indoor heaters/outdoor wind, you might notice your skin
going a bit bonkers and exasperating things like skin sensitivity,
redness and something I struggle with throughout the season,
dry/flakiness. Skin needs a little more TLC during this time of year and
it's important to find products that are soothing, calming, and
hydrating.
During winter, I like to recharge my skin and senses with the wild wonders of certified organic witch hazel. I have found alcohol-free witch hazel toner to be an absolute essential in my winter skincare routine and Humphrey's Toners are my go-to.
Humphrey's
commitment to clean and natural beauty starts with their use of wild
crop certified organic witch hazel which is wild harvested to capture
the purest therapeutic and vital plant essence of the plant. It is
distilled to preserve its natural potency and never diluted or polluted.
Their products are always free of dyes, sulfates, parabens, phthalate
and gluten, as well as vegan, cruelty free and dermatologist tested.
Humphrey's Recharge Witch Hazel + Grapefruit Alcohol Free Toner is my current go-to certified organic witch hazel toner. It helps reduce excess oil shine, recharge your skin and clear your complexion for clear, clean, calm and conditioned skin (your were born to face the world with!) With certified organic with hazel, grapefruit and tea tree extracts, this toner is gentle and non-drying for even sensitive skin.
Humphrey's Witch Hazel Soothe with Rose Alcohol Free Toner is another oh-so-lovely toner to soothe your skin and senses with the wild wonders of certified organic witch hazel! With certified organic witch hazel, rosewater and hylauronic acid, this amazing toner soothes, hydrates and softens skin for a healthy-looking complexion. It's also gentle and non-drying for even sensitive skin. Humphrey's Witch Hazel Soothe with Rose Alcohol Free Toner helps hydrate your skin for clean, calm, conditioned skin (so you can feel confident putting your best face forward each day!)
How to Use Humphrey's Toners: Start by cleansing and drying face. Give the bottle a little shake and remove the cap. The seal underneath has two different sizes so you can control how much you pour. Pour onto a cotton pad and massage onto your face and neck (feels so amazing!). You can use day or night for clarified skin.
Intensive Foot Repair and Multi-Purpose Nail Repair from Kerasal
4. Take Care of Your Hands and Feet
Similar
to transitioning your skincare routine for winter, now is also the time
to transition care for your hands and feet! Dry, cold air can wreak
havoc on skin and during this season I pay extra care to my hands and
feet to keep them moisturized and healthy.
Intensive Foot Repair and Multi-Purpose Nail Repair from Kerasal are the best products I have discovered when it comes to foot repair and nail repair. Seriously, you need to know about these!

5. Keep Your Body Moving
I like to get outside everyday during daytime in winter, even on gray overcast days. I aim for a daily walk at the noon hour, when the sun and light is at it's high point in the winter season. Being outdoors, breathing fresh cold air and getting a little Vitamin D is the perfect natural energy boost.
On days when I can't be outside due to weather I practice yoga, stretch or even just walk around the house and try to pick things up for 30 minutes (versus sitting down). On beautiful weekends I go for a hike or trail run and take care to wear layers to stay warm.
However you like to move, be sure to keep your body moving during this cold and dark season!
