Everyone loves walking through a winter wonderland… until blustery winds chill you to the bone and leave your nose desperately seeking a big box of tissues. Unfortunately, the elements that create such picturesque landscapes really do take a toll on the human body — both inside and out — and sometimes it feels like there isn’t much we can do about it.

However, there are plenty of natural remedies out there that can soothe all of our winter woes. Here’s a handful of products we’re instinctively reaching for this year as the temperatures drop below freezing and all we feel like doing is hiding out for the next three months from the comfort of our couches.

For extremely dry skin…

Try Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals Rosehip OilAll-natural rosehip oil is your skincare miracle in a bottle. It mimics the natural oils in your skin, rehydrating it effectively without clogging your pores or leaving you feeling greasy. Its fatty acid content also works wonders for those fine lines and wrinkles that seem to appear that much more dramatic in cold, dry weather. And it even prevents that winter dullness that many of us seem to suffer from, leaving the skin looking even and radiant.

For a serious case of the sniffles…

Try Green Goo bath salts. We’re partial to their 100-percent, all-natural “relief” salts, which have just the right amount of eucalyptus and mint essential oils to help clear up your sinuses while your entire body relaxes in the warm and cozy tub. The Epsom salt base also does a stand-up job of clearing your skin of unwanted winter toxins, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated in a matter of minutes. Just inhale the soothing steam from the hot water and hop in for the most chill night ever.

For cold, aching muscles…

Try Soothe Serum. This toxin-free, 100-percent natural body cream blends moisturizing shea butter with a slew of amazing essential oils in just the right amounts to create an effective, topical pain relief that literally starts working in minutes. The little container is also perfect for winter traveling when you just don’t know what the weather is going to decide to do. Not to mention, it smells amazing because of all of the essential oils packed into the ingredient list.

For a struggling immune system…

Try Tetley Super Green Tea for Immunity. This blend kicks your vitamin C intake up a notch while giving you that fresh, warm green tea flavor you know and love. It has just enough caffeine to bring your mind back into focus when you need a pick-me-up, and we never say no to extra hydration during the winter months. The tea comes in a tropical flavor, as well as a lemon and honey flavor, and we’re all about the latter.

For those daylight deprivation mood swings…

Try Palermo Body’s aromatherapy rollerballs. The right kind of aromatherapy just has a way of lifting our spirits, and the three options from Palermo Body make us forget all about our winter-based frustrations. The tranquility oil, in particular, will make you appreciate the extended darkness because it just gives you more time to hang back, relax and care for yourself. Just keep inhaling whiffs of lavender, blue yarrow and cypress, and spring will be here before you know it.

For wheezy, tired lungs…

Try Oxygen Plus. The frigid air can be so painful to breathe — especially when we’re committed to keeping our outdoor running or long-trail hiking routines intact. But this recreation oxygen helps you recover from your weakened state incredibly quickly and provides a nice energy boost at the same time. Just take a couple deep breaths of pure oxygen and feel your body bounce back from the elements in no time. (Bonus: it’s extremely helpful after too many hot toddies, too.)
