Beauty Care to Face Winter with Healthy Skin, Hair, and Body
Practical and minimalist tips for the cold
Intensive facial hydration
What to do: Swap your light moisturizer for a denser cream with ingredients like shea butter or ceramides. Apply immediately after showering, while the skin is still damp, to help lock moisture into the skin.
Extra tip: Add a few drops of vegetable oil (such as jojoba or rosehip oil) to your night moisturizer. This can help reinforce the skin's natural barrier.
Lip protection against chapping
What to do: Apply a nourishing lip balm whenever you leave the house and before going to sleep. Avoid licking your lips, as saliva dries them out even more.
Extra tip: Once a week, do a gentle exfoliation with brown sugar and honey, massaging for about 30 seconds. Then, apply a thick lip moisturizer.
Hair with less frizz and dryness
What to do: Wash your hair with lukewarm or cold water and finish with a hydrating leave-in conditioner. Avoid very hot hair dryers and use a satin cap to sleep.
Extra tip: Before washing, do a pre-wash treatment with coconut oil or olive oil on the lengths of your hair. Let it sit for about 20 minutes and wash as usual.
Hydrated hands and cuticles
What to do: After each hand wash, apply a specific hand moisturizing cream. Don't forget the cuticles: use a dedicated oil or moisturizer daily.
Extra tip: Wear cotton gloves for 15 minutes after applying cream to your hands at night. This helps boost absorption and leaves the skin softer.
Body free from dryness and itching
What to do: Take quick showers with lukewarm (not hot) water and use mild soaps with a balanced pH or syndet. After drying, apply a body moisturizer while the skin is still damp.
Extra tip: Mix a teaspoon of liquid glycerin (sold in pharmacies) into your neutral body moisturizer. This can help attract moisture to the skin and prolong hydration.
