Adapt your routine to the changing seasons

Tips for nourished skin in winter.

Have you ever felt that your skin changes during the different seasons of the year and that cream you used in winter to moisturize your skin feels greasy in summer? Or why do certain products that worked perfectly in one season not seem to give the same results in another?

We believe in a well-defined routine throughout the year.

The skin, the largest organ in the human body, undergoes slight changes depending on the season in order to adapt to new temperatures.

This is because temperature, humidity and other environmental factors have a direct impact on your skin's hydration, elasticity and natural barrier.

As a general rule, the skin needs more nutrition in winter.

Being subjected to high contrasts (wind and cold from outside spaces / and heating in indoor spaces), the skin ends up drying out and, consequently, suffering from peeling, tightness and poor luminosity, but not only the skin of the face but also in the most exposed areas such as hands and lips.

We also shower and bathe with very hot water. It is what our body asks for, but lukewarm water would be much healthier for the skin, because hot water only hurts it. In addition, with the heat, the pores dilate and a host of toxins such as chlorine or powerful bactericides penetrate, which kill the bugs that inhabit our skin and super protect it (the so-called microbiome).

That is why I always recommend that you put a good filter in your shower. I have been using the Alkanatur shower filter for years.

In short, during this season your skin needs a PLUS: adding more nutritious active ingredients with a high hydration capacity to combat dryness, repair and strengthen it will be the key to prevent it from drying out or causing premature wrinkles.

The ingredients that cannot be missing in your cosmetics during the winter are:

Omegas, especially omega-3, 6 and 9.
