Winter Infusions……
✨ 3 Winter Herbs to Infuse into Your Oils for Glowing Skin
As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, our skin starts whispering for a little extra love.
Winter brings cozy sweaters, warm baths, and—let’s be honest—dryness that can leave our skin looking dull and thirsty.
That’s where herbal infusions come in. By steeping healing herbs in rich carrier oils, you create nourishing blends that feed your skin naturally — no chemicals, no fillers, just nature doing what it does best.
Below are three powerful winter herbs to infuse into your oils for glowing, hydrated skin — and how to easily make them at home.
🌼 1️⃣ Calendula — The Soothing Skin Saver
Why it’s amazing:
Calendula, also known as marigold, is a gentle powerhouse for irritated or dry skin. It’s full of antioxidants, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds that calm redness, heal chapped skin, and restore softness.
How to infuse it:
Add 2 tbsp dried calendula petals to a glass jar.
Pour in ½ cup of your favorite oil — almond, jojoba, or olive oil work beautifully.
Seal and let sit in a warm window for 2–4 weeks, shaking daily.
Strain and store in a dark glass bottle.
💛 Use it as: A daily facial or body oil, or blend it into your winter lotion for a silky, restorative touch.
🌼 2️⃣ Chamomile — The Calming Glow Herb
Why it’s amazing:
Chamomile isn’t just for bedtime tea — it’s also one of the best herbs for sensitive skin. It helps reduce irritation, supports cell renewal, and adds a soft, natural glow. The bisabolol compound in chamomile helps skin stay hydrated and soothed during harsh weather.
How to infuse it:
Add 2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers to ½ cup jojoba or grapeseed oil.
Let infuse for 2–3 weeks in a warm, dark place.
Strain through cheesecloth and store in a sealed glass bottle.
💛 Use it as: A face oil after cleansing, a pre-bath body oil, or a soothing scalp treatment.
🌿 3️⃣ Cinnamon — The Circulation Booster
Why it’s amazing:
Cinnamon brings warmth to your skin and your senses. It helps stimulate blood flow, giving your complexion a natural flush and supporting cell turnover. It also has antibacterial properties that help keep skin clear and radiant.
How to infuse it:
Break 1–2 cinnamon sticks into small pieces.
Add to ½ cup castor oil or sweet almond oil.
Warm gently using the double boiler method on low heat for about 2 hours (don’t boil!).
Strain and let cool before storing.
💛 Use it as: A warming massage oil or blended into your body butter for a subtle holiday scent.
✨ Why Herbal Infusions Work So Well
Infusing oils allows the skin-loving compounds from herbs to release slowly into your carrier oil, creating a nutrient-rich blend your skin can actually recognize and absorb.
Unlike synthetic skincare, herbal oils work with your body, not against it — balancing, soothing, and replenishing your natural barrier.
🌙 Pro Tip: Blend All Three
For the ultimate winter glow, combine equal parts of your calendula, chamomile, and cinnamon infusions into one luxurious oil.
This blend smells like cozy warmth, feels deeply moisturizing, and gives your skin a soft, golden radiance all season long.
