Say goodbye to dry and dull winter skin

WINTERTIME: HARD WORK FOR YOUR SKIN
Your skin has to endure a lot in winter. Outside, it's cold temperatures with low-humidity air. Indoors, the warm, heated air has an even lower relative humidity. This warm, very dry air causes your skin to lose more moisture to the surrounding air. This can cause it to become very dry – a condition you're surely familiar with. This is particularly pronounced and clearly visible on your lips, for example, which tend to become chapped and dry in winter.
If your skin is already dry, the cold will further slow down your metabolism and curb sebum production. This further reduces the oil content and increases the dryness of your skin.
When skin is dry, it's harder for old skin cells to slough off. These old skin cells are actually the reason why dry skin becomes rough and looks dull. The rougher surface reflects light less effectively, giving you a pale, tired complexion. This is also accompanied by an unpleasant feeling of tightness.
Winter can rob your skin of its natural glow! So what can you do?
Below I have some tips for you to get through the cold season smoothly:
• Increase indoor humidity
• Adapted care: It is important to increase the fat content of the care in winter, especially with phytosterol-rich butters (shea butter, cupuaçu butter) and omega-rich lipids (e.g. kukui nut, kahai, rose hips, or evening primrose oil).
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN USING EXFOLIATING TREATMENTS?
Exfoliating treatments are especially beneficial during the darker months of the year, as exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive to sun exposure. The winter months are therefore the ideal time to give your skin a renewal boost.
Recommendation: Our Mask to Reveal, a mild peeling mask with mandelic acid and gluconolactone, can be used daily at night for up to four weeks. It's best suited for normal, mature, oily, or inflamed skin.
