Self-Care Sundays: Beating The Winter Blues

The winter blues are real, babe—it’s grey, it’s wet, and let’s be honest, it feels like the 84th of January. We’re all feeling a little skint after Christmas and Blue Monday is lurking around the corner. But at P.Louise, we’re over the gloom. We’re no longer just "surviving" the freeze; we’re romanticising it. We’re reclaiming our peace and prioritising what we call Self-Care Sundays.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, babe. Every Sunday throughout winter, we are shifting the focus back to you. It’s about more than just a routine; it’s a weekly ritual to improve mental clarity, reduce stress, and unwind before the new week begins. The real magic happens when you treat your body like the temple it is.

Self-Care Sundays are our time to indulge in deep-acting skincare and bodycare rituals that we usually rush through during the week. From drenching your limbs in moisture-rich butters to giving your complexion that "glass-skin" glow with targeted serums, it’s a full head-to-toe reset.

Winter is long, so why not make the most of staying in? Staying in is the new going out this season and we’re here to help you curate your own personal sanctuary—no strict rules, just pure vibes. Our Teddy Collection is the ultimate self-care soulmate to get you there.

To host the ultimate 5-star home spa, the setup is everything. Creating the perfect aesthetic is the first step in telling to your brain that it’s time to switch off. Put on a "Sunday Slowdown" playlist, light those candles, and let your oil diffuser fill the room. You aren't just in your bathroom; you’re in a P.Louise retreat.

The Teddy Collection was dreamed up with your well-being in mind. We’ve combined skincare, bodycare, and haircare into a full head-to-toe experience to create the perfect self-care Sunday to help you finish the week looking and feeling amazing. This routine is tried, tested, and P.Louise approved—believe us when we say your Sundays will never be the same.

Run a hot bath and add several pumps of our You Must Be Soaking bath oil. This luxurious oil melts into warm water, transforming your tub into a silky soak that leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished. While in the bath, take a minute to manifest and set your intentions for the week ahead - what is it you want to achieve this week?

Use our All Scrubbed Up body scrub to gently buff away dull, dry winter skin. It’s the perfect prep for shaving or tanning, exfoliating without stripping your natural moisture. It melts into the skin, leaving a dewy, polished finish that feels like silk.

Treat yourself to a salon-level experience with our Hair To The Throne haircare set. We’ve reformulated our shampoo and conditioner to be more luxe than ever. Our shampoo uses a Ceramide Complex and Cholesterol to repair your hair’s natural protective barrier, while Allantoin keeps your scalp happy. Follow up with our conditioner, packed with silky silicones for that high-shine finish.

Pro Tip: Use our hair massager to stimulate circulation—it’s amazing for hair growth and even better for stress relief.

Once you’ve patted dry, envelope your body in Whip Tease. This body butter is a blend of Shea Butter, Vitamin E, and plant oils designed to drench the skin in hydration without that heavy, greasy feel. It absorbs instantly, leaving you smelling like a coconut-cake dream.

Cleanse the day away with our Clear The Air gel cleanser. Formulated with 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid, it pulls moisture deep into the skin while our multi-acid brightening blend works to give you that coveted glass-skin finish. Fresh, bright, and ready for the week.

Choose your player: reach for the Softly Does It 3-in-1 Mask Set to target your eyes, nose, and lips with potent Peptides and Vitamin C, or go for Mask Me Later if you’re in the mood for a playful, deep-cleansing bubble experience.

Seal it all in with Get Creamy With It. Winter air and central heating are the enemies of hydration, leading to transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This rich face cream is infused with calming extracts that act as a barrier, keeping your skin soft, supple, and radiant despite the freezing temps.

Now for the best part. Slip into our ultra-soft Teddy Pyjamas and secure your hair with the matching Teddy Scrunchie. To keep the glow going from the inside out, fill your Teddy Cuddle Cup with a warming peppermint tea. Stay hydrated, stay cosy.

Winter is notoriously harsh on our extremities. Keep the dryness at bay with our coconut cake hand cream and our matching coconut-cake Bad Bitch Energy Lip Duo. The iconic lip conditioner and oil work together to ensure your pout stays plump and hydrated all night long. 

Settle in for the evening—whether that’s a movie marathon or a cosy meal. Finish the ritual with a spritz of coconut-cake Hair To The Throne body mist. Our hair and body mist adds that final layer of  deliciousness, ensuring you go to sleep feeling like the queen you are.
