A Natural Canadian Solution to Extra Dry Skin Care
Cold Canadian winters can have a profound effect on the condition of our skin especially for those who have pre-existing skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis. Sub-zero temperatures, wind, dry air and indoor heating can lead to what is known as the winter itch. The “winter itch” is very dry skin occurring most commonly on the legs, arms, hands and torso. The skin looks and feels extremely itchy, tight, rough, dull, flaky and can accentuate the finest lines. In some cases, the skin may chap and even crack especially in over-exposed areas such the hands and lips.
Our Après-Ski winter skin care products were formulated to protect and relieve the driest, roughest and itchiest skin. The products are naturally rich with shea and cocoa butter for maximum hydration. Après-Ski products are enriched with skin soothing colloidal oatmeal and other nourishing plant extracts such as aloe.
Our products are safe for the whole family including babies.

Winter Body Lotion
Highly moisturizing botanical emollients sink deep into the skin leaving it silky soft and comfortable. Soothing colloidal oatmeal instantly relieves itchy feeling skin. Suitable for eczema and psoriasis proned skin.
Winter Face Cream
Extra rich shea and cocoa butter will replenish tight, dry skin after a day in the great Canadian outdoors. Non-greasy and quick absorbing. Naturally suitable for sensitive skin.
Winter Hand Balm
For instant relief from extra dry, cracked hands and cuticles (great for rough elbows and feet too!). Warm it up in the palms of your hands and rub it into the skin. The beeswax will seal in the rich plant oils and create a protective barrier against further chapping and cracking.
Winter Lip Balm
A soft, long-lasting balm that will soothe and protect red, dry lips caused by arctic winds. Enriched with skin-healing aloe and vitamin E. Unflavoured so you won’t lick your lips dry again!
Winter Bath Therapy
A couple of tablespoons of natural oatmeal powder in your bath water will instantly relieve a tight, itchy-feeling back! After your bath, gently pat dry (do not rub) in order not to take away the soothing oatmeal. Apply the winter body lotion when skin is still damp to seal in the oatmeal and moisture. Very favourable for eczema and psoriasis proned skin.
Winter skin care tips:
- Use Green Beaver Winter Skin Care products
- Wash with warm water (not hot) and use mild soaps. Hot water and harsh soaps can remove natural oils from the skin.
- Sprinkle colloidal oatmeal in your bath water. Oatmeal soothes dry skin and helps retain moisture on the skin.
- After washing, gently pat skin (don’t rub dry). Moisturize while skin is still slightly damp to trap moisture in.
- Use moisturizers high in natural emollients specifically formulated for dry skin.
- After washing hands, apply a deep penetrating balm to help prevent dry, cracked skin.
- Protect your skin from cold windy conditions. Apply a rich face cream and a long-lasting natural lip balm before going outside. Don’t forget your hat, scarf and gloves!
- Exfoliating the dead skin layer of dry skin will allow a moisturizer to sink in deeper
- Maintain a comfortable level of humidity in your home. Indoor heating dries out the air.
- Drink plenty of water. The body needs water to keep going and if it doesn’t have enough it will draw from your skin’s water reservoir.
