As the temperature drops and the days become shorter, it's not unusual for both our skin and soul to experience the effects of the winter blues.
The air gets dryer, leaving our skin more parched than usual, and the chilly weather and reduced sunlight can take a toll on our mood.
If you're having a case of the winter blues, know that you're not alone! Try these 4 self-love practices to raise your skin and soul vibration from the inside out. ❄️

1. Go Outside + Get Some Sun
Though it might feel like the last thing on Earth you want to do, find a reason to go outside!
Whether it's a quick errand run, a trip to the coffee shop, or a walk around the block, getting your body moving, breathing in fresh air, and feeling the sun on your face will not only boost your mood, it will also boost your circulation and provide you with some much-needed energy.
While you're braving the cold weather, be sure to protect your skin from the dry air and harsh winds. Here is a favorite skin-saving cocktail from one of our NYC-based team members!
"I mix Pumpkin Seed Serum with my Truffle Face Cream, and it creates such a comfy barrier between my skin and the harsh weather. It also gives me a brightening glow. I top if off with some Caviar Eye Cream on the sensitive spots that need an extra boost of lift and hydration!" - Alyssa (Savor Beauty Marketing Coordinator)
2. Refresh Your Space
Surrounding yourself with beautiful things can instantly elevate your mood, especially during the colder seasons when we spend more time indoors. Things such as plants, flowers, and essential oils not only improve atmosphere, but can provide cleansed air and a boost of aromatherapy!
Use an Essential Oil Diffuser to uplift the energy in your home with the high vibrational healing qualities of 100% Pure Essential Oils:
- Soothe: Lavender essential oil will help you create a calming and relaxing aromatherapy experience at home.
- Chill: Peppermint essential oil is an instant, refreshing pick-me-up.
- Breathe: Eucalyptus essential oil will help you create an invigorating spa experience at home.
- Energize: Citrus essential oil inspires creativity and brings a fresh burst of joy your way!
3. Mask, Manifest, Meditate
Got 10 minutes? Beat the winter blues by treating your skin and soul in tandem, with this multitasking ritual for inner and outer nourishment. Repeat this ritual when your skin and soul are feeling a little drab and in need of a pick-me-up. ✨
- Apply an even layer of the soothing + detoxifying Manuka Honey Mask to your face. (Learn more about the skin benefits of Manuka honey here.)
- As you let the Manuka work its magic, spend 10-15 minutes with your Savor Beauty Planner to manage your to-do list, plan your self-care, write a gratitude list, and manifest the life you crave.
- Alternatively, you can use this time for mindful meditation. Embracing mindfulness allows you to cultivate a positive mindset and build resilience against the winter blues.
- Rinse the mask off, then layer your hydrating serums and creams onto your skin to seal in moisture.
Et voila! Your skin is now feeling fresh and renewed, your life is a little more figured out, and you've taken some time to recenter and reconnect with your inner self.
