Body Butter: The Ultimate Solution for Dry Skin
Winter can be harsh on your skin, leading to dryness, flaking, and a dull complexion. With the right skincare routine, including the use of nourishing body butter, you can keep your skin hydrated and vibrant despite the cold. Here are a few ways to prepare for dry skin season using Iluminar Skin’s luxurious body butter and other targeted products.
1. Exfoliate Regularly
Removing dead skin cells is crucial, especially in winter, as it makes moisturizers more effective. Use a gentle exfoliator 1-3 times per week to keep your skin clear and allow deeper penetration of body butter, which provides intense hydration.
2. Upgrade Your Moisturizer to Body Butter
Switch to a richer, thicker moisturizer during colder months. Iluminar Skin’s Body Soufflé line offers a variety of body butters that are perfect for locking in moisture and nourishing dry skin.
3. Hydrate with Serums
Incorporate a hydrating serum into your routine before applying moisturizer. Serums like HA-Revive Hyaluronic Drops can penetrate deeply into the skin, providing essential hydration and preparing the skin for a richer moisturizer.
4. Protect Your Lips
Keep your lips hydrated and protected from the harsh winter air with a nourishing lip balm. Apply a moisturizing balm in the morning and evening to prevent chapping and dryness.
5. Don’t Forget SPF
UV protection isn’t just for summer. Continue to use sunscreen throughout the winter to protect your skin from UV rays, which can be just as harmful during the colder months.
6. Avoid High Heat
Limit your exposure to high heat, such as long hot showers or cranked-up indoor heating, as it can strip moisture from your skin. Consider using a humidifier to maintain a healthier level of humidity in your home.
7. Be Gentle
If you notice increased skin sensitivity with the change of seasons, opt for skincare products labeled as “gentle” or “for sensitive skin.” Look for ingredients like aloe and cucumber that have calming properties.

8. Gradual Changes
When updating your skincare routine for winter, introduce new products gradually to monitor how your skin reacts, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. This helps avoid overwhelming your skin and causing irritation.
