How to Beat the Chill and Keep Skin Healthy

How to Beat the Chill and Keep Skin Healthy

Autumn is here. The mornings are darker, the air is colder, and the heating is flicking back on. For your skin, that means one thing: dryness.

At BAZ & CO, we believe in keeping men’s skincare simple, natural, and effective. Here’s how to protect your skin this October — with a few easy swaps that will make a big difference.

Why Skin Gets Drier in Autumn

When the temperature drops and central heating goes on, the air around us dries out. Less moisture in the air = less moisture in your skin. Add cold winds and hot showers into the mix, and your skin barrier takes a beating. The result? Flaky, tight, or irritated skin.

Top Skincare Tips for October

1. Switch to a Gentle Body Wash

Avoid harsh soaps that strip your skin. A concentrated, natural wash like our Restore & Awaken Body Wash cleanses without leaving you tight or dry — perfect for daily showers after the gym or commute.

2. Exfoliate, But Don’t Overdo It

Dead skin cells build up more in colder months. Using a 2-in-1 Exfoliator Cleanser a few times a week clears pores, smooths rough patches, and helps your moisturiser absorb properly.

3. Lock in Hydration with Moisturiser

This is the non-negotiable step. A lightweight but nourishing cream like our Skin Food Moisturiser keeps skin hydrated all day, without grease. Tip: apply straight after washing when skin is still slightly damp.

4. Freshen Up Without Chemicals

Dry winter skin doesn’t need more irritation. Our Naturally Fresh Deodorant is aluminium-free and powered by basil and vetiver — effective, but kind to skin.

Quick Wins Beyond Skincare

  • Turn down the water temperature: Hot showers feel great but strip natural oils. Go warm instead.

  • Hydrate from the inside out: Keep drinking water even when it’s colder.

  • Invest in a humidifier: Helps balance out the drying effects of heating.

  • Protect outdoors: A scarf and gloves shield your skin from wind burn.

Healthy skin doesn’t need to be complicated. Just the right formulas, made with nature in mind.
