DARLING IT'S COLD OUTSIDE: PROTECT AND CARE FOR YOUR SKIN DURING THE COLD, WINDY MONTHS!

The new year has arrived with a very chilly January. To avoid the negative effects of the cold winter elements, it's worth taking a look at the products on your skincare shelf and put together a skincare routine to keep your skin hydrated and supple.

Skincare

During the winter months, our skin's metabolism slows down, which also weakens the hydro-lipidic layer that is primarily responsible for protecting the skin, so it is crucial to provide external support with effective products for the body.

It is worth replacing products with a gel-like consistency with creamier, fuller textures, as the more moisturising, oilier ingredients constantly regenerate and strengthen the skin's protective layer. It is recommended to regularly apply face masks with richer ingredients during these months to support the skin.

Speaking of face care,  it is particularly important to also pay attention to our lips. Two of our favourite products from Biologique Recherche are the nourishing Biokiss lip balm and the Liftkiss moisturising and refreshing lip mask.

Bodycare

As with facial care, hydration is a priority for our body as well. You can use oilier, creamier lotions, shower gels and body serums.

During the winter, cold-pressed vegetable oils are particularly recommended to help keep the skin moist and replenish vitamins. Grapeseed, walnut, almond or macadamia oil are all excellent choices for body care. You can easily incorporate the use of oils into your skincare routine: you can massage them into your skin on their own, mix them with your favourite body lotion, or even drizzle them into your water during a hot bath.

Top 5 Favourite Body Care Products: 

-Biologique Recherche HUILE FONDAMENTALE body oil

-Biologique Recherche CRÈME DERMO-RL CORPS body lotion cream

-MBR Modukine Body Lotion

-MBR Hand Kit hand cream and nail oil with a complimentary nail file.  

-Valmont Body 24 Hour lotion

Wellness

A hot bath is an integral part of your skincare routine. Taking a warming bath can be varied in many ways: different bath salts, herbs, cold pressed oils can be used to nourish and nourish the skin.

The herbal bath has a particularly beneficial effect on the body: ginger is immune-boosting and invigorating, lavender is calming, and rose prevents moods from deteriorating due to lack of sun.

In addition to the right cosmetics and skincare routine, don't forget to support your body internally. It is essential to take vitamins during the winter and eat a healthy, clean diet, which will not only benefit your body but also your skin. As much as possible, try to eat as many vegetables and fruits raw without cooking them. Finally, don't forget to drink enough fluids.

We hope we've given you some tips for looking your best in the colder months!
