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 of 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, skin needs more nourishment in winter.

When exposed to high contrasts (wind and cold outdoors / and heating indoors), the skin ends up drying out and, consequently, suffering from flaking, tightness, and a lack of luminosity. This applies not only to facial skin but also to more exposed areas like hands and lips.

We also take showers and baths with very hot water. It's what our body craves, but lukewarm water would be much healthier for the skin, because hot water only harms it. Furthermore, heat dilates the pores, allowing countless toxins such as chlorine or powerful bactericides to penetrate, which eliminate the tiny organisms that live on our skin and protect it (the so-called microbiome).

That's why I always, always recommend putting a good filter in your shower. I've been using the Alkanatur shower filter for years.

In short, during this season your skin needs a PLUS: adding more nourishing and highly moisturizing active ingredients to combat dryness, repair, and strengthen it will be key to preventing it from drying out or developing premature wrinkles.
