Why Your Skin Craves Nurture, not Numbing in the Winter

Cold air outside and dry, heated air indoors team up to drain your skin’s moisture, leaving it tight, itchy, and begging for relief. If your skin feels more crocodile than cushion, it’s probably trying to tell you something: it’s craving nature.

Let’s talk ingredients your skin actually understands:

African Potato – The Calm Your Skin Has Been Waiting For

Rich in sterols and glycosides, this potent indigenous ingredient helps reduce inflammation and supports skin regeneration. Think of it as a botanical bodyguard—soothing dry, reactive skin and giving tired winter faces a calming boost.

Calendula – The Petal Power of Comfort

Calendula isn’t just pretty—it’s a miracle for sensitive, chapped skin. Gentle yet effective, calendula promotes wound healing, soothes redness, and aids in repairing cracked skin. It's your skin’s winter whisperer.

Avocado Oil – Nature’s Richest Butter

Thick, nourishing, and loaded with omega fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E, avocado oil penetrates deeply, bringing instant relief to parched skin. Unlike synthetic creams that just sit on the surface, this natural oil soaks right in, feeding your skin from within.

Your Winter Skin-Care Checklist

A little nature goes a long way—especially when it’s in the right combination. Here’s how to keep your skin feeling radiant and resilient, even as temperatures drop:

Switch to a Richer Balm
Light summer lotions won’t cut it. Supersalve’s Healing Skin Balm with African Potato & Calendula locks in moisture and helps your skin bounce back.

Love Your Lips
Cold wind is a lip’s worst enemy. Keep a tube of Supersalve PLUS (with avocado and calendula) handy at all times!

Nurture Hands & Feet
Our extremities suffer the most. Massage Supersalve Sports Rub - for Joints & Muscles (yes, it does double duty!) into heels and knuckles to hydrate while easing tension.

Layer with Intention
Apply Superalve All Care balm after bathing while your skin is still damp—it helps seal in hydration. (This is a hot tip - seriously; try it!)

Hydrate from Within
Don’t forget to drink water and enjoy skin-loving foods like nuts, sweet potatoes, and yes, avocado!

Final Thought:

Supersalve’s organic range is designed to bring skin back to balance, using time-honoured ingredients that nurture instead of numb. So this winter, skip the synthetics and let nature in—your skin will thank you with a soft, radiant glow.

NB: All Supersalve products are completely free from petrochemicals, parabens and phthalates and are safe for the whole family, from babies to the elderly and everything in between!
