Temperatures are dropping and the effects on our well-being will soon be felt. How can you avoid chapped skin and a dull complexion? We give you our good advice for maintaining your skin in winter.

Hydration, the essential step for beautiful skin

Just like in summer. Hydrated skin is skin that lives well! In winter, we particularly insist on this beauty step and we certainly don't skip it. Moisturizing your skin means nourishing it, and nourishing it means ensuring that it is strong enough to withstand and control external aggressions as best as possible. The cold, lack of sun, pollution, wind or even rain are all factors that can harm our skin.

How to properly hydrate your skin in winter?

Nothing too complicated, but for deeply hydrated skin, we rely on a diligent beauty routine, morning and evening, we don't hesitate to generously spread our favorite moisturizer. Regarding the texture, everything will depend on the needs and especially on each person's skin. Moisturizing can be done in the form of milk, lotion, serum, oil or even creams. Very dry skin will prefer a rich oil where combination to oily skin will be satisfied with a simple body milk and a facial serum.

Hydration also involves diet

It's a fact! Beauty is also maintained from the inside. The superficial hydration of the skin must be supplemented with deep hydration by adopting an appropriate diet. We then rely on foods mainly composed of water such as fresh cheeses (Ricotta, fresh cheese) or vegetable milks such as almond or soy milk. Obviously we do not skimp on water and we drink at least 1.5L per day, even in winter!

If water doesn't tempt you any more, and it's quite possible... you can drink it as tea or infusion, or even ingest it via coffee. All in moderation because the abuse of theine as well as caffeine can have the opposite effect, i.e. dehydration.

A daily and diligent skincare routine

If hydration plays a major role in the well-being and beauty of our skin, daily care is also essential. It acts as a beauty booster supplement. It is necessary to concoct the right routine, the one that will perfectly suit our needs such as: our skin type, our lifestyle, our hygiene, the place where we live... etc.!

Indeed, in the vast world of cosmetics, there are treatments designed for each specificity. For those who consume rather natural, know that the earth offers us indeed everything we need to preserve our capital, beauty, well-being and youth.

Opt for plant-based treatments

Vegetable oils are the number one ally in our quest for beauty. They contain many benefits to keep skin healthy, hydrated and nourished at all times.

Rosehip, argan, jojoba, grape seed oil, avocado and hazelnut are all active ingredients that are appreciated by our skin. Why? Each of them acts in a specific way on a skin problem.

• Rosehip regenerates the skin.
• the hazelnut rebalances it.
• jojoba cleanses it.
• the avocado nourishes it deeply.
• hemp oil soothes him
• argan oil softens

It is therefore important to target your needs before choosing your vegetable oil! Although none of them can really harm us.

Make masks... Regularly

In this cool period, the skin must be boosted and detoxified to get rid of polluting residues that sometimes become deeply embedded in the skin. A good green, pink or yellow clay mask (depending on the needs of each skin) can be applied once a week. We continue the routine with ultra-hydrating masks that we do not hesitate to apply twice a week! This will be an excellent complement to daily care.

Make scrubs adapted to your skin type

In winter, the skin feels tight. Of course, the idea of ​​applying scrubs is not very appealing, yet it is an essential step in the beauty routine. Scrubbing will eliminate dead skin, all the dirt accumulated throughout our days. It will also allow the skin to renew itself more easily and assimilate the treatments applied more quickly.

Be careful , the scrub can be very abrasive if it is not applied correctly. Always choose the grain of your scrub according to your skin type (sensitive to fragile skin will avoid grain scrubs and prefer an enzymatic peel). For the face, we recommend a gentle scrub, to be repeated once a week. For the body, a scrub with large grains can be applied once every two weeks.
