How to Beat Winter Blues: Self Care & Fresh Scents

We’ve all tossed around the phrase ‘seasonal depression’, but it’s a very real thing. Shorter days and colder weather can have a serious negative effect on your mood. I, for one, wish I could become a snowbird and move to the tropics in the winter. While that’s not possible for me — or many people, for that matter — prioritizing your self-care routine can positively impact your mood and make the dreary months fly by. 

I always get an instant pick-me-up when I get a whiff of Curie’s signature scents, designed to induce joy and uplift your mood. There are many ways to sniff the joy — from hydrating Body Wash Bars to Deodorant Sticks and refreshing Sprays. Get ready to officially beat the winter blues! 

Scents That Spark Joy 

Have you ever noticed how you instantly feel calmer when you smell your mom’s cooking or catch a whiff of your best friend’s perfume? This is because your sense of smell is directly tied to your emotional well-being. When you smell something good, your brain is hard-wired to feel better. How cool is that!? 

That’s why we dedicate so much time and energy to developing scents that will boost your mood. Take our signature, Coconut Nectar, for example: A blend of creamy coconut, lush apricot, and a twist of mint transports you to a tropical escape and immediately brightens gloomy days. Warm Vanilla is another fave: The comforting mix of Madagascar vanilla, soft amber, and creamy almond milk feels like a cozy hug and melts stress away. 

Your Mood-Boosting Winter Routine

Joy-inducing scents are only one part of the equation. Luckily, Curie has a full, three-step mood-boosting routine that will hydrate your body and leave you feeling confident. Along with saying ‘so long’ to seasonal depression, you’ll also say ‘hello’ to hydrated, happy skin! 🤩

1. Start in the Shower: An everything shower is a quick way to wash away any negative emotions (there’s nothing like a nice, hot shower to soothe your soul!). Make your shower feel like a spa day with our lush Body Wash Bars. The Exfoliating Coconut Nectar Bar buffs away dead skin with teeny tiny coconut shells for a silky smooth feeling. Follow up with the Hydrating Warm Vanilla Bar to coat your skin in plush comfort. The luxurious lather paired with the restorative scents will have you feeling like a brand-new person!

2. Stay Fresh All Day: Once you're squeaky clean, swipe on our Deodorant Stick in your favorite scent for all-day freshness. Pro tip: Peach Soliel and Ocean Air smell like summer when you need an extra boost 😉

3. Refresh on the Go: Losing steam throughout the day? A quick spritz of our Deodorant and Body Spray acts as a pick-me-up to enliven your body (and mind). Keep it in your bag to use after mid-day workouts or meetings.
