Winter is Here: How to Protect Your Skin from the Cold

Winter has arrived. The temperatures are freezing, the leaves have long fallen, and stores are stocked with holiday decorations and gingerbread. ⛄ Even our skin undergoes changes during this season. Why is that, and how can you protect your skin? Find out here.

Why Your Skin Needs Extra Care in Winter

In winter, your skin faces unique challenges. ❄️ The cold outdoor air dries out your skin and can cause fine cracks. Indoors, heating exacerbates the problem, further dehydrating your skin.

Dry skin becomes rough, flaky, and more prone to impurities. Why? The skin tries to compensate for the lack of moisture by producing more sebum, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.

How to Protect Your Skin

Don’t panic! You can help your skin thrive during winter. Follow these tips:

1. Increase Humidity at Home

An aroma diffuser is a great way to add moisture to the air—and as a bonus, it fills your home with a lovely scent. 🌬️

2. Use the Right Skincare

Winter calls for different, additional skincare products than summer. Look for creams containing triglycerides, which replenish moisture and prevent your skin from drying out. This also helps regulate sebum production, reducing the risk of clogged pores. Check for CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE in the ingredient list.

Extra Tip: Pamper your skin with a hydrating and soothing face mask daily. The cold makes your skin drier and more sensitive, and masks provide the extra care it needs.

3. Say Goodbye to Chapped Lips

Dry, rough lips are a nightmare. They feel tight, itchy, and look unsightly. Prevent this by using a nourishing lip balm regularly. If it’s already too late, try pure honey. Honey is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and promotes healing. Apply it to your lips and let it work its magic—preferably overnight. With a little patience, your lips will be soft and healthy again in no time.

4. Hand and Nail Care

Your hands and nails also face extra stress during winter. Use skincare products and soaps containing triglycerides to keep them moisturized. Don’t forget to wear gloves for added protection when you’re outside.

By following these tips, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all winter long. ❄️
