Skin care in winter is important
Dry , itchy skin, chapped lips and a rash from the cold: winter is coming again! We are happy to tell you the tips & tricks to enjoy beautiful, supple skin in winter too.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Beauty comes from within and that is why the basis of a beautiful, cared for skin is hydration. It sounds like a cliché, but make sure you drink enough water in the winter too. This way you nourish your skin and it will dry out less quickly.
But there is another way to hydrate, we'll tell you more about that in a moment!
Dry flakes: exfoliate your skin
In the winter we often suffer from a dry skin with flakes and that is exactly what we do not want! To remove these dead skin cells, you can scrub your skin with a nice body or face scrub . For example, choose a scrub that immediately cares for your skin, then you kill two birds with one stone! After scrubbing you will notice that your skin feels a lot softer and smoother. We recommend that you do not scrub your face more than three times a week, to prevent damage to your skin.
A cream cannot be missed
Back to hydration: a nourishing moisturizer acts as a protective layer for your skin, perfect for the colder days! Choose a cream that intensely hydrates your skin. These creams are often rich in hyaluronic acid, a magical ingredient that will help you through the winter! Hyaluronic acid ensures that your skin retains moisture, it strengthens the natural protective layer of your skin and ensures a supple, firm skin.
Do you suffer from red rashes on your skin, for example due to cold? Look for a serum that is rich in BHA , a soothing and calming ingredient that gently reduces redness while also hydrating your skin!
When we think of SPF, we often think of summer days, but did you know that SPF is also essential in winter? Don't forget this step in your daily routine, because harmful UV rays from the sun are not conducive to healthy skin. You can apply SPF as a separate step, but there are also wonderful creams that already contain the protection.
Use a face mask
A moment of pampering is always a good idea, but in the cold winter months your skin will be extra grateful. In addition to your daily skincare routine, it is advisable to use a hydrating face mask weekly to prevent your skin from drying out.
Chapped lips, help!
The skin of your lips is very thin and therefore sensitive to winter weather. You have probably suffered from dry skin or flakes, not nice! The solution for dry lips is, just like with your skin, scrubbing! We have various lip scrubs in our range that make your lips wonderfully soft again.
To intensely hydrate dry lips, a lip mask is a must in your routine. A lip mask that we are fans of is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask , for example in the scent of berries. This mask works during the night, so that you wake up with kissable lips!
Are your lips dry again during the day? Make sure you always have a lip balm with you, so you can hydrate your lips whenever you want.
Hands are your calling card
Well-groomed hands and nails immediately give a general well-groomed impression. Your cuticles are extra sensitive to the cold in winter, which causes them to dry out quickly. The skin on your hands can also flake quickly and nails become brittle. To leave the house well-groomed in winter, use a moisturizing hand cream every day. Looking for more intensive care? Then treat yourself to a mask especially for your hands!
