As winter approaches in Australia, the cooler months—starting now and continuing through August—bring drier air, lower humidity, and chilly winds that can leave your skin feeling parched and sensitive. At Clean and Pure, we’re all about harnessing the power of natural Aussie skincare to keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and protected during this seasonal shift. Let’s dive into how you can prep your skin for winter with a focus on hydration, using our hand and body creams and skin-nourishing ingredients for deeper moisture.
Why Winter Calls for Extra Hydration
In Australia, winter varies by region—think crisp mornings in Melbourne, windy days in Sydney, or dry chill in Perth. Regardless of where you are, the drop in humidity and exposure to indoor heating can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. This is especially true for your hands and body, which are more exposed to the elements. Proper hydration isn’t just about surface-level moisture—it’s about nourishing your skin from within to create a protective barrier against the cold.
Lock in Moisture with Hand and Body Cream
Your hands and body bear the brunt of winter’s harshness, so a rich, natural cream is your first line of defense. Our Clean and Pure Hand and Body Cream is crafted with iconic Australian ingredients like macadamia oil and shea butter, both known for their deep moisturizing properties. Macadamia oil, native to Australia, is packed with fatty acids that mimic your skin’s natural oils, providing long-lasting hydration without a greasy feel. Shea butter adds a protective layer, shielding your skin from wind and cold.

How to Use: Apply the cream after showering or washing your hands to lock in moisture. For extra protection, reapply before heading outside to create a barrier against the elements. A little goes a long way—our 100ml tube lasts up to 2 months with daily use.
-
Winter Tip: Keep a tube in your bag for on-the-go hydration, especially after drying hands or facing windy conditions.
Deeper Hydration with Skin Nutrition
Surface hydration is key, but for lasting results, you need to nourish your skin at a deeper level. Our Clean and Pure Skin Nutrition is formulated with powerful Aussie botanicals like kakadu plum and eucalyptus extract, both of which are rich in antioxidants and hydrating compounds. Kakadu plum, a native Australian superfruit, is one of the world’s richest sources of vitamin C, which not only brightens your skin but also strengthens its moisture barrier to combat winter dryness. Eucalyptus extract soothes irritation and boosts circulation, helping your skin retain moisture even in colder temps.
-
How to Use: After cleansing, apply a small amount to your face and body areas prone to dryness (like elbows and knees). Follow with our Hand and Body Cream to seal in the goodness. Use morning and night for best results.
-
Winter Tip: For an overnight hydration boost, apply as a mask to rough patches—wake up to softer, smoother skin.
The Protective Power of Natural Ingredients
Winter skincare isn’t just about hydration—it’s about protection. The natural ingredients in our products do double duty by creating a shield against the elements. Macadamia oil and shea butter in our cream form a non-greasy barrier that locks in moisture while preventing water loss from exposure to cold air. Meanwhile, the vitamin C from kakadu plum in our serum strengthens your skin’s natural defenses, reducing the risk of chapping and cracking as temperatures drop. Eucalyptus also has anti-inflammatory properties, calming any redness or irritation caused by the cold.
