The Ultimate Winter Skincare Routine – Powered by Nordic Clean Beauty
When winter arrives in the North, the air becomes dry, temperatures drop, and skin begins to show the effects — tightness, dullness, redness, and fine lines. At Saaren Taika, we know how harsh the season can be on your skin. That’s why we created a simple, effective winter skincare routine powered by our Nordic Clean Beauty formulas — proven to hydrate, protect, and restore even the most sensitive skin.
Why Your Skin Needs a Winter Routine
Cold outdoor air and indoor heating both reduce humidity, stripping the skin of its natural moisture. As a result, the skin barrier weakens, leading to dryness, irritation, and premature aging.
Adapting your skincare routine with more hydrating and barrier-strengthening products can make all the difference. Think gentler cleansing, deeper hydration, richer protection — and consistent care.
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing
Product: Bladderwrack Face Soap
Start your day with a mild, nourishing cleanser that preserves your skin’s protective oils.
Our Bladderwrack Face Soap is enriched with wild-harvested Baltic bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) — a natural source of fucoidans and antioxidants that calm and purify without over-drying.
Use lukewarm water and gently massage into the skin for a clean, soft finish.
Step 2: Restore and Repair with a Serum
Product: Bladderwrack Super Serum
Powered by two proprietary seaweed innovations — Fucus DuoActive® and Fucus Fusion® — this serum visibly transforms winter-stressed skin.
In clinical studies, participants saw a –29.9% reduction in wrinkles, –37% smaller pores, and +14% improved elasticity in just 28 days.*
Lightweight yet potent, it strengthens the skin barrier, soothes redness, and deeply hydrates without heaviness.

Step 3: Seal in Hydration with a Rich Cream
Product: Rosehip & Camellia Anti-Age Face Cream
After your serum, apply a protective layer of this luxurious moisturizer.
It combines rosehip oil, camellia oil, and natural antioxidants to replenish lipids and smooth fine lines.
Perfect for dry or mature skin, it restores comfort and glow — your skin will feel supple, protected, and visibly renewed.
Step 4: Extra Nourishment with Face Oil
Product: Bladderwrack Jojoba Face Oil
When temperatures drop below freezing, even the best cream may need support.
Our Bladderwrack Jojoba Oil delivers an extra layer of nutrition and protection.
Rich in vitamin E and bladderwrack bioactives, it prevents moisture loss and improves skin resilience — ideal for cold, windy days or nighttime recovery.
Step 5: Barrier Repair and Comfort
Product: Chamomile Shea Balm
For areas prone to flaking or irritation, finish with a thin layer of this deeply soothing balm.
Infused with organic shea butter and calming chamomile, it locks in moisture and restores softness overnight.
How to Layer Like a Pro
-
Cleanse → Serum → Cream → Oil → Balm (as needed).
-
Always apply lighter textures first.
-
Give each layer a few seconds to absorb.
-
Use your fingertips to gently press the products into the skin — friction can irritate dry winter skin.
