How to Keep Your Glow Through Winter (Without Getting Greasy)
Share
When the cold hits, the glow leaves first
You feel it before you see it.
Tight cheeks. Chalky legs. The ash creeping back no matter what you put on.
Winter doesn’t just make skin dry—it steals its balance.
Why winter wrecks your moisture
Cold air outside, hot air inside—your skin’s getting hit from both sides.
Heaters pull humidity from the room. Showers wash away your oils. Then you throw lotion on top and wonder why it’s gone by lunch.
It’s not your products failing—it’s your barrier crying for backup.
Black skin needs flexible moisture
Melanin-rich skin holds onto heat longer and loses water slower, but once that barrier cracks, ash shows quick.
What you need isn’t more shine—it’s protection that breathes.
Something that seals hydration in without feeling sticky or heavy.
The fix: feed, seal, protect
That’s where Nooks Universal Balm™ comes in.
A blend of shea butter, jojoba, and squalane that melts in fast—no residue, no grey.
Use it like this:
-
Post-shower: pat skin damp, not bone-dry.
-
Warm a little balm in your hands. Let it melt before rubbing in.
-
Focus on the zones winter loves to crack: elbows, shins, ankles, knuckles.
-
Layer under clothes. It locks water in without that waxy feel.
Result: glow that looks like summer, even under a hoodie.
What makes it different
-
No petroleum, no filler. Just plant oils your skin recognizes.
-
Non-comedogenic: keeps pores clear even in cold, dry air.
-
Works under makeup or sunscreen.
-
Zero white cast, zero stick.
Because greasy isn’t glow—it’s just grease.
Real-world tip
Keep a tin in your coat pocket. Rub a bit on your hands before you leave, and another when you get back inside.
That’s the trick: re-nourish when everyone else is re-drying.
