How to protect your skin from frost: Tips and Tricks for Winter Care
The winter season brings us beautiful scenery full of snow and ice crystals, but with it comes cold weather that can have a negative effect on our skin. Freezing winds and cold temperatures can cause drying, irritation and cracking of the skin, which can result in uncomfortable tightness and redness.
How to protect our skin from the cold?
Hydration is key. When the weather outside is cold, the air is usually dry. Dry air can remove moisture from the skin, which in turn leads to drying. It is therefore important to moisturise your skin regularly. We recommend incorporating hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine on a regular basis. Aqua Splash Serum contains a fermented multi-molecular form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin. Skin is hydrated, plumped and wrinkles are less visible. For nighttime care, reach for Au Revoir Wrinkles Cream, which targets all skin aging factors and has a charged anti-aging formula. Hydration is taken care of by aloe vera extract combined with multi-molecular hyaluronic acid, squalane and snow mushroom (tremella) extract to penetrate deeply.
Complement your beauty routine with facial oils and balms. Thicker textures are especially helpful for winter and protect skin more than water-based creams. They care for the skin and create a protective layer that shields against the harsh weather. Pure Happiness Day Oil provides the skin with a rich dose of omega fatty acids. Plant phenolics, vitamins, high potency algae and phospholipids slip easily into the deep layers of the skin to hydrate, nourish, brighten, renew and protect. Use Mystic Tansy Blue Skin Balm at night. It effectively moisturizes while providing special care for sensitive, red, damaged, acne-prone or irritated skin.The balm contains Moroccan Chamomile, Baobab and Marula for intense nourishment and anti-inflammatory properties, beautifully soothing the skin. It deeply moisturizes and heals, eliminates redness and irritation, helps treat eczema. This ultra luxurious nourishing balm is ideal for caring for sensitive skin in winter.
Don't skip the SPF in winter either. Even if the winter sun is less intense, UV rays can still damage your skin. That's why it's important to use high SPF creams, especially on the face. UV rays can cause skin irritation and the formation of free radicals, thus accelerating the aging process and the appearance of wrinkles. We recommend our BB cream Geisha's Secret with SPF factor. It naturally unifies the skin, covers imperfections and cares for the skin while wearing it. Contains ectoin, buriti oil, baobab oil, red algae hydrogel, gold micro-particles and licorice extract.
Correct water temperature. Even if we need to warm up more during a shower or bath in winter, we should skip the warm water for washing our face. Not only does it promote inflammatory processes on the skin, but it also causes excessive drying of the skin. A lukewarm temperature is definitely preferable, and a cold rinse in the morning will also get rid of puffiness and blood circulation. It will look more toned and have a healthy colour.
Suitable nutrient-rich diet. Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fish, vitamins and antioxidants in your diet, which can help keep your skin healthy and resilient even in cold conditions. Strengthen your microbiome with probiotics from within and without. Our Au Revoir Wrinkles cream contains probiotics and prebiotics to maintain skin balance. It becomes more resistant to negative influences, less dry and less prone to breakouts and inflammation. Don't forget to drink enough. If you're forced to drink plain water in winter, try herbal or fruit teas to warm up and replenish fluids.
