How to prepare the skin for winter?

The winter season is a challenge for our skin. Low temperatures, dry indoor air and strong winds can quickly dry out and irritate our skin. In order for our skin to remain healthy, flexible and radiant even during the winter months, it is important to take special care of it. Here are some tips to prepare your skin for winter and avoid common problems associated with cold weather.

1. Hydration is key

Winter is a time when our skin loses more moisture than usual, so it is important to focus on thorough hydration. Look for moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid or ceramides. These ingredients help retain moisture in the skin and create a protective barrier against external influences. It is ideal to use thicker creams than in the summer, because the light ones may not provide sufficient protection against bad weather.

We recommend the caring skin balm Mystic Tansy Blue with Moroccan chamomile, which is ideal care for problematic and irritated skin. Soothes, hydrates, reduces redness and accelerates healing. Its fine oil texture creates a protective layer on the skin.

2. Regular gentle peeling

Although peeling is important all year round, we should be more careful with exfoliation in winter. Dead skin cells can form dry and scaly layers on the surface of the skin, but too aggressive exfoliation can irritate the skin. Choose gentle enzymatic peels or peels with AHA acids that gently remove dead skin without drying the skin.

The Glow mask contains AHA and BHA acids, which gently remove dead skin cells. The skin is smooth, soft and brightened after application. The mask helps to reduce pigmentation, unify skin tone and soften wrinkles,

3. Greater attention to sensitive areas

The lips and the area around the eyes are especially prone to dryness. Invest in quality SPF lip balms and nourishing eye creams. Don't forget a cream with a UV filter during outdoor activities - even in winter, the sun can harm the skin, especially when it reflects off the snow.

For the lips, we have the perfect tip - the Lip Besties trio, which includes a natural exfoliator that rids the skin of dead cells and scales, a nourishing softly tinted balm with natural oils and an online manual for lip massage to keep them plump and youthful. the trio was created in collaboration with Marta Dřímal Ondráčková and her online face yoga program #udrzksicht.

For eye care, reach for our Magical Phyto Elixir. Each ingredient in this eye serum has been carefully selected for its unique healing properties. Thanks to joint synergistic action, it brings visible results. It contains bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol that does not cause skin sensitivity to light and can therefore be used during the day without any worries.

For sufficient protection against the sun, do not forget to add an SPF factor to your care. A great product is our CC cream Golden Shield with SPF 50+, which combines the best of decorative and caring cosmetics. Natural composition with a mineral filter for sun protection. It protects the skin at the cellular level, supplies it with antioxidants and vitamins. It hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin during wear.

4. Sufficient supply of water and proper diet

Skin care starts from within. Hydration should be supported not only by cosmetics, but also by sufficient water intake. Even in winter, we should pay attention to the drinking regime, even if we do not have such a strong feeling of thirst. In addition to water, the skin can benefit from a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fish, seeds, nuts) and vitamins C and E, which are known for their antioxidant effects.

5. Oil serum as a care supplement

Add an oil serum to your routine. Skin oils such as argan, jojoba or rose oil can help lock in hydration and deliver the nutrients your skin needs. Oils are suitable for all skin types, including oily, if a light and non-comedogenic composition is chosen correctly.

Add a few drops of Sleeping Beauty oil serum to your cream, which contains, in addition to anti-wrinkle retinol, phospholipids, which help to repair and restore the natural protective barrier of our skin. They imitate the lamellar structure of the extracellular matrix and form a protective layer against water loss. Phospholipids are key molecules involved in the process of skin formation and renewal. They have a significant effect against the visible signs of skin aging at the cellular level and at the same time promote deeper penetration.

6. Changing the cleaning routine

Too frequent washing and the use of aggressive cleaning products can dry out the skin even more in winter. Replace foaming gels with gentle cleansing balms or creams that do not make the skin greasy, but instead leave it soft and hydrated. Avoid cleansers with alcohol, which tends to dry out the skin.
For this purpose, we developed the Snow White make-up remover balm. Deep cleansing 100% natural oil that contains impurities, make-up and unclogs pores. It can handle even the toughest waterproof make-up without irritating the face.
