Seasonal Radiance: Revitalize Your Skin's Natural Glow
How to get your skin through seasonal changes, naturally and holistically
Our skincare needs tend to change with the seasons, and now that we’re waking up to brighter, warmer days, we’re thinking of ways to support healthy, radiant skin all year round. Often, all it takes is a few simple product swaps to keep your routine feeling fresh and effective. Here are some ideas for nurturing your natural beauty as the weather changes, and keeping yourself boosted from the inside out.
Consider your cleanser
Your choice of cleanser or face wash is particularly important as the seasons change. When choosing a cleanser, your skin shouldn’t feel tight or uncomfortable after cleansing.
If it does, consider switching to a cleansing balm like our Wild Rose Beauty Balm.
Glow-giving and intensely nourishing , this award-winning multipurpose balm has been a beauty editor favorite since 2004. With organic wild rosehip seed oil to enhance radiance and a rich blend of organic plant oils to hydrate and moisturize, skin is left soft and supple with a natural glow, however you choose to use it.
Wild Rose Beauty Balm is a one pot wonder: from an intensive moisture boost to an exfoliating cleanser, a cuticle softener to finishing touches, this super-nourishing balm is a truly versatile skincare hero. An intensely nourishing blend of organic jojoba, hemp seed and borage oils combine to help trap moisture within the skin's surface to leave skin feeling soft and supple.
One of our other favorite cleansers is the Frankincense Intense™ Triple Action Melting Cleanser which is a micro-emulsion of natural sugars and oils that bind with water to give a triple-texture effect, melting away even waterproof make-up without drying skin to leave it feeling intensely cleansed.
Clinically proven to moisturize skin for up to 12 hours, this indulgent cleanser is proof that organic works.

Dial up the hydration
An obvious one perhaps, but there really is a difference between hydrating skin and hydrating skin effectively . Piling on thick and heavy moisturizers can feel very luxurious (and as we’ve said, this certainly has a place) but, a more considerate approach to hydration can really help us lock in skin moisture. Especially for those of us who suffer with dry skin all year round.
Prime your skin for moisture. Priming our skin can help improve the performance of our moisturisers (and any other products we use in our routines). We recommend our Frankincense Intense™ Hydrating Essence as a feather-light, hydrating first step after cleansing.
Layer up with facial oils or serums. For best results, use before your moisturizer. Our skin loves plant-based oils and serums, which smooth, nourish and help our skin to glow. One of our favorites is our Organic Rosehip Oil which is rich in essential fatty acids that work to moisturise and protect the skin barrier. Its high concentration of A, B and E vitamins make rosehip oil a proven, natural remedy for dull or pigmented skin.
Don’t skip the hyaluronic acid. Capable of holding over 1,000 times its weight in water, this natural substance is nicknamed the moisture magnet and helps to both create and lock in moisture. Find it in our Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Booster or any of our award-winning Frankincense Intense™ products.
Try an indulgent mask. Face masks are a real skin treat. Try swapping a purifying clay mask for one that intensively boosts moisture or nourishes. Our personal favorite? Frankincense Intense™ Age-Defying Overnight Mask. Leave on overnight or even just for 10 minutes for a quick hydration boost.
Spritz throughout the day. A quick hit of hydration when darting out the door between errands can make all the difference. Our Frankincense Hydrating Mist can be spritzed throughout the day, and even over make-up.
Nourish and Hydrate
Our skin is our largest organ, and therefore reflects what’s happening inside of us as much as outside. Moisturising, nourishing and hydrating our skin from the inside-out simply means topping ourselves up with the essential fatty acids, vitamins and fluids that our skin is craving. These include:
Vitamin C. By now we all know the skin-quenching benefits of vitamin C, and with myriad serums and boosters readily available to take care of our skin’s surface. Why not try our Vitamin C Brightening Boosterwhich illuminates the complexion and helps to even skin tone, leaving it glowing and restored. Getting more vitamin C into our diet can often be forgotten. An orange, a cup of strawberries, chopped red pepper or broccoli provides enough vitamin C for the day – and will aid in the production of collagen as well as supporting naturally radiant skin.
Moisturize. Our Wild Rose Glow Day Cream is a customer favorite for a reason. A lightweight yet hard-working daily moisturizer that visibly enhances skin radiance with an expert blend of organic rosehip seed oil, skin-quenching hyaluronic acid, and plant-derived fatty acids.
Water. Yes, you’ve heard it before, but drinking enough water is one of those essential wellbeing practices that many of us still neglect. What you may not have heard before is that sipping water little and often, rather than glugging, is far more hydrating. Teas and diluted juice or cordials are also beneficial.
