I don’t know about you guys, but when winter rolls around, my skin definitely starts asking (more like screaming) for a little extra love. Between the chilly weather outside and the dry heat indoors, I notice my skin looking a little dull, feeling less hydrated, and just not having that same natural glow. It’s always around this time of year that I start being a little more intentional about how I’m nourishing my skin, not just with the products I apply topically, but with the little daily habits that support it from within, too. Because as much as I love a good skincare routine, I think there’s something so lovely about giving our skin a little extra nourishment from the inside out!
Your holiday glow can start in your cup
But, before adding one more serum to the shopping list, I’d look at how you’re supporting it from within. Your food choices, products, and even the air quality can all play a part in the health of your skin. And even more important? Hydration. One thing that has made a huge difference for me (with consistency) is Pique’s Radiant Skin Protocol. It essentially brings together two daily drinks for hydrated, radiant-looking skin—and i’m so excited because Black Friday makes it a timely beauty investment!
Pique’s Black Friday offer is finally here! 25% off site wide + Free Holiday-Edition Chais. It’s a beautiful time to choose a ritual for yourself and enjoy a few holiday extras along with it!
Cold days and heated rooms are a good reminder to think beyond the surface of your skincare routine. Topical products have their place, and nourishing your skin from within can be another part of the picture!
Two daily drinks for your winter beauty routine
That’s the idea behind the Radiant Skin Protocol: Sun Goddess Matcha plus B·T Fountain. One is an organic ceremonial matcha with naturally occurring antioxidants; the other is a beauty electrolyte formulated to support skin moisture and a dewy-looking complexion.
B·T Fountain is my absolute favorite. It combines ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and an electrolyte blend. Ceramides help support the skin’s moisture barrier, while hyaluronic acid helps support hydration. Together, they make this a purposeful beauty drink rather than just another flavored water!
What stands out to me is that the formula focuses on the qualities so many of us want from our skincare: hydrated-looking skin, a smoother-looking complexion, and support for moisture retention. It’s a simple addition to the products you already use, with a different way of supporting your daily beauty routine.
Sun Goddess Matcha adds another layer. This organic, ceremonial-grade matcha is sourced from Kagoshima, Japan, and contains green tea catechins, including EGCG, to support healthy skin aging and antioxidant defense. Bonus, it’s extra delicious with one of my homemade matcha marshmallows!
It also contains naturally occurring caffeine and L-theanine for calm, sustained energy. That’s a welcome secondary benefit when the day includes work, gift shopping, holiday preparations, and an evening gathering—but the reason I’d start with this protocol is the beauty support.
The routine itself stays straightforward. Enjoy your matcha in the morning, warm or as a latte, then make B·T Fountain part of your daytime hydration by mixing a sachet into cold water. Two familiar moments, with a little more intention behind them.
There’s substance behind the beauty story, too. Randomized, placebo-controlled studies on the ceramides used in the formula reported skin hydration improvements of up to 37% and elasticity improvements of up to 36% over two months. Those are ingredient study findings—the reason I’d give this routine consistent daily attention rather than treat it as a one-day beauty fix.
If you’re already investing in skincare, this is a thoughtful way to expand the routine. You aren’t replacing everything on your bathroom shelf; you’re adding daily support from within, in a format that can fit into even a busy December.
And if you’re choosing a little something for yourself while shopping for everyone else, I’d choose something you’ll use every day. A warm matcha, a beauty hydration ritual, and a reason to pause for a moment feel like a lovely place to begin <3

I love the beauty-from-within angle — supporting skin with matcha and ceramides in the morning feels much more sustainable than chasing another serum. The Matcha Affogato recipe looks like a fun way to try it too!
