Winter Wellness at DURNFORD

As Winter arrives, it becomes ever more important to care for our skin with deeper nourishment and protection. The change in temperature and conditions can leave it feeling dry and delicate, so this month we turn to replenishing, deeply moisturising rituals that restore softness, strength and radiance. 

At DURNFORD, our balms and oils are thoughtfully crafted to support your skin through the colder months, harnessing the power of natural ingredients to hydrate, soothe and renew.

SIGNATURE BODY OIL

Indoor central heating systems significantly reduce air quality, and levels of moisture, leaving skin dull and dry. However, simple rituals make all the difference. Our Signature Body Oil uses Vitamin E and Omegas 3 & 6 to rejuvenate and deeply hydrate - a non-negotiable during winter. 

 

Massage a few drops of body oil on to your skin after bathing or showering, or rub into particularly dry areas of skin to deeply nourish. We would recommend just before bed to fully immerse yourself in our deeply calming signature scent of Rosemary, Lemon, Lemon Verbena and Peppermint. Or, to aid relaxation during the day, place on pulse points; the temples, behind the ears, inside of the wrist, inside the elbow.

FACE BALM

 

Due to cold air causing lower levels of humidity in the winter months, skin can lose moisture more quickly and become prone to tightness and irritation. Our Face Balm provides deep replenishment with Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps repair and protect the skin’s natural barrier against harsh winds and temperature changes. Rose and carrot botanical extracts calm redness and restore vitality, while lemon and mint essential oils revive dull, tired skin. Used nightly, it locks in moisture, leaving your complexion soft, supple, and radiant by morning.

LIP BALM

 

Lips are the first to feel winter’s bite, so regular protection is key. Our Lip Balm protects and replenishes with Vitamin E, lemon, and mint essential oils. Hydrating, soothing, and subtly refreshing, it’s your daily essential for luscious, healthy lips through the colder months.

FOOT BALM

 

Winter can be unforgiving on feet, especially after long days in boots or wellies. To keep them soft and healthy, exfoliate gently once a week, then massage in our Foot Balm to lock in moisture. Olive and carrot oils hydrate deeply, while Vitamin E works overnight to repair cracked heels and prevent further dryness. For an indulgent treat, apply generously before bed, slip on cotton socks, and let the balm work as an intensive overnight mask - your feet will thank you come morning!

BABY BUMP OIL

 

Maintaining softness and flexibility in sensitive skin is especially important during pregnancy. Use DURNFORD Baby Bump Oil after a warm shower when skin is most receptive - the combination of Vitamin E, chamomile, and plantain soothes, while Omega 3 & 6 help support elasticity.

 

Gently massaging in circular motions not only nourishes the skin but also encourages relaxation and connection with your baby. A few drops warmed in your hands can also be used on any dry patches elsewhere, such as elbows or hands, for gentle, all-over care.

At DURNFORD, every creation is rooted in our values - sustainability, simplicity, and respect for nature. Just as we nurture our land, we invite you to nurture yourself this winter; to slow down, breathe deeply, and find beauty in the stillness of the season.
