The Self-Care Gifts You Need As We Head into The Winter Months
Need to relax and recharge this winter? We’ve got you covered! In this blog we will discover the best self-care gifts to help you, or your loved ones, feel relaxed, pampered and well-restored!
Why is Self-Care Important in the Winter Months
A dedicated self-care routine should be top priority in winter. With the colder and darker evenings, it’s a perfect time for winding down and pampering yourself. Here is a list of different types of self-care to introduce to your everyday routine.
Increase Hydration
It’s super important to up your hydration intake during winter. This is to keep your hair, skin and nails healthy all winter long. Make sure to drink loads of water and don’t forget to moisturise your body daily. If your skin is lacking moisture you can complete your makeup and lock in moisture with the Brushworks Dewy Fine Mist Setting Spray. This setting spray gives you a radiant, dewy glow that keeps your skin hydrated and nourished all year round!
Pamper Your Hair
If you struggle with dry hair in winter, you’re not alone. Cold weather can aggravate your scalp, leaving it dry, itchy and dull. Combat dry hair by oiling your hair and scalp once a week. Oils are a great way to introduce moisture into your strands, helping you to achieve smooth and silky hair. Make sure to grab yourself a hair oil applicator to make oiling your hair super easy and practical.

Give Your Skin a Treat
It goes without saying that our skin needs to be cared for with a thorough skincare routine. Start with a cleanser based on what’s suitable for your skin type, follow with a targeted toner to treat problem areas, then always make sure to complete your skincare routine with a moisturiser. On days where your skin may need that extra bit of TLC, applying a face mask can be therapeutic and beneficial for your skin. Make it easier and get yourself a face mask applicator set. The Brushworks Facial Detox Set included everything you need to exfoliate your skin and apply a face mask, ensuring a mess-free application.
How Do I Know Which Self-Care Gifts Are Right for Me?
Are you someone that prefers relaxing in a bath and pampering yourself? Do you love haircare and investing in your hair health? Or are you someone who loves doing their makeup? All of these preferred activities are all forms of self-care and will determine what self-care gift will be good for you.

Self-Care Gifts to Look after Your Skin

Everyone should be looking after their skin and have a routine. That’s why giving the gift of skincare will always go down a treat.

The best gifts are those that encourage you to spend time on self-care. A standout option is the Brushworks Shower Pamper Set, which provides an all-in-one shower experience. This set includes a shower comb, ideal for detangling hair with ease; a scalp massaging brush, perfect for invigorating the scalp and boosting circulation; a pair of exfoliating gloves, which help remove dead skin for a smooth finish; and a luxury hair towel, designed to gently dry hair without causing damage. This thoughtfully curated set encourages a spa-like experience at home, making it an excellent self-care gift.

Combat Dry Skin
The winter months and cold weather can really dry out our skin, making it prone to irritation, breakouts and increased sensitivity. The Brushworks Refresh & Reset Mist is perfect for adding that extra bit of TLC to your skin during the winter months. Infused with lactic acid to gently exfoliate your skin, sloughing off dead skin cells, and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and restore your skin. These ingredients work together to keep your skin feeling fresh and give you that perfect glow in winter. Don’t forget about your body either! Make sure to moisturise your whole body everyday to keep your skin feeling its best.
Gift a Restful Night’s Sleep
One of the best gifts you can give someone is the gift of a restful night’s sleep. Winter is the perfect time to create a cozy, sleep-friendly environment that makes drifting off feel like pure bliss, and there are also ways to indulge in self-care as you sleep. Care for your hair and upgrade your pillows to a satin pillowcase for the ultimate treat. Not only are they good for your hair health, they are much better for your skin too. The satin material minimises friction which reduces wrinkles and is gentler on your hair. For an extra treat for someone, the Brushworks Dreamy Satin Set is the perfect self-care gift as it includes a satin pillowcase and four satin scrunchies to give you the gift of blissful sleep!

The Best Haircare Tips for the Winter Months
Just how you alter your haircare routine in summer, you should do so for winter too. The cold weather can dry out your hair, leaving you with dryness, split ends and greasiness. Here are some top tips on how to look after your hair in winter:
- Protect with masks or oils: Indulge your hair in a conditioning hair mask every week. This will help your hair to lock in moisture and keep it looking sleek. Alternatively, you can oil your hair every week, before washing your hair. This will leave your hair super soft and will protect it from the cold winds and cold weather.
- Never go out with wet hair: When hair is wet it’s 3 times more fragile! Never go outside with wet hair in the colder months as it can freeze and snap off, leaving you with split ends and irreversible damage.
- Protect your hair from heat: Make sure to continue protecting your hair all year round, but especially in winter. Opt for heatless styles too, like sleeping in a heatless curler. Your hair will thank you!
- Get regular trims: Your hair gets more damaged in colder months due to the weather. Make sure to get regular trims throughout the year to keep split ends at bay.
- Hydration is key: No one likes having brittle and damaged hair, especially in winter. Make sure to hydrate your hair with a leave-in conditioner. These are perfect for those who may not have time for a weekly mask!
As winter settles in, embracing self-care becomes more essential than ever. Whether it’s skincare tools or gentle haircare accessories, the right self-care gifts can transform these chilly months into a season of relaxation and rejuvenation.
