Bring on the Holiday Cheer with Delizioso!


What causes dry skin in the winter season?

In the summer, the heat blisters our skin, it is warm and it is nice and the sun keeps our moods uplifted and joyous. Of course there are cons and pros to each season of the year, and it is given to appreciate all of them, but have you ever felt that your skin was drier during the winter season?


There is an explanation to this, and some tips on what you should be doing and shouldn’t be doing with your skin to keep it glorious all year round. The biggest problem in the winter season is that humidity is fairly low compare to the summer, meaning that your skin will need all that new moisture. The problem is…You’re not getting that moisture.

This leads us to the topic of natural skincare and synthetic skincare which I will thoroughly discuss in a separate article. But what I must mention is that any over the counter brands, or brands that contain synthetic ingredients and large amounts of water will NOT moisturize your skin. That is because the formulations are incorrect and harmful to the derma instead of being helpful. What your skin needs is a good thirst quencher. Imagine yourself, in need of that water after a long summer jog. That is how your skin feels during this season and the best ways to help your skin may be real close.

One of the awesomest skin quenchers by far is butter! Yes, I said it, butter. But not the kind of butter we consume on a day to day basis. The best of the best is raw Shea butter from Ghana. Shea butter is an amazing emollient. Did I say amazing? Not only is Shea moisturizing for your skin, but it also helps improve circulation and fight aging. Its also super simple to apply. To make it smell a little better you can mix it with your favorite essential oil…But you could use Carrot seed oil mixed with Orange oil. This duo will attract moisture to your skin like nothing else.



The best time to apply moisturizer to your skin is after a hot bath. When your skin is washed with warm or hot water, your pores open up and indulge in the goodness that you will rub in. The best ingredients and top moisturizers are also found in the Delizioso Skincare Body Butters! These are really amazing and based on Shea Butter. But unlike pure Shea Butter, they are fluffed up with Ale juices and vitamins. Your skin will be begging for more!
