Skin Care Rituals in Winter Months

Just like your skin, your skin care ritual keeps up with the season and needs change and renewal. The skin is very sensitive to seasonal normal and seasonal changes. The skin, which is prone to staining, clogging of the pores and wear in the summer months, tends to become dry, irritated and sensitive in winter months. Therefore, our priority and focus on cold climate is “moisture”. We have brought together care suggestions and tips that will nourish your skin, reduce its tension and prevent drying in the winter season.

Daily Care

While your summer care routine should contain products that are lighter, purifying and illuminating, your winter care habits should have more intense, moisturizing, nourishing and protective properties. The first point that will be changed is your care cream. Incorporate a slightly more concentrated, highly moisturizing formula into your care routine that restructures skin texture and nourishes the skin. You can also provide extra support with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide serums to your skin, which becomes more sensitive and tends to dry out in the winter months.

You should also be careful to be gentle when cleaning your skin. Remember, the skin is susceptible to irritation. Avoid harsh formulas that create a feeling of tightness on the skin. You can use products that soften the skin, such as cleansing milks and skin cleansing oils. You can choose the purifying products from the micellar options.

And, of course, sunscreen… As an indispensable part of your care ritual, sunscreens are among the things that should be used through four seasons. Do not forget to take a product with a high protection factor and a broad spectrum, especially if you are going on a ski holiday, and strengthen the effect by renewing your protector frequently during the day.

Showering in Cold

Every step of your care routine becomes important during the winter months, including your shower sessions. The first point you should pay attention to in your bath rituals is the temperature of the water. On cold days, we naturally dream of a hot and long bath. However, high-temperature water can strip the skin of its natural oils and sensitize it. For this reason, it is useful to stay away from very hot and long shower sessions, although it is tempting.

The products you use for body cleaning become even more important in winter days. Gentle formulas that do not dry the skin should be among your priorities. Especially in cold weather, shower oils are one of your strongest allies with their moisturizing and softening properties while cleaning the skin.

As for hair care in the shower… Products that moisturize and soften and protect the hair strands are preferred in winter days. Not only the formulations, but also the way you apply the products is very important. It is among the things you should pay attention to not to shampoo the hair too much, to protect the natural oils and not to dry the hair length. At this point, let’s give you a small tip that you can apply: First, leave your shampoo and conditioner habit aside. After applying conditioner to the ends of the hair, shampoo the scalp, then rinse. The cream you apply at the beginning will keep the hair lengths moist and protect them from the drying effect of the shampoo.

You should also protect your skin with additional forces against harsh climatic conditions. Especially masks are among the strongest players in skin care just like serums. We recommend that you use night care masks as well as the moisture masks you will apply weekly. These products, which work while you sleep, help you start the day with a renewed, refreshed and nourished skin in the morning.

There are also steps you can take during the day to support your skin. Care mist can be one of the saviors of cold winter days. Thanks to these products, which you can keep in your bag or office drawer, you can moisturize, refresh and soften your skin in a few moments.

Although the face and body come to mind when it comes to skin care, there are two other sensitive areas that are vulnerable to the winter climate: your lips and hands. You can also protect these areas with lip balms and creams that nourish your hands and nails that you will apply frequently. Let us remind you that the mask option is also valid for hands and lips. While lip care masks deeply moisturize your lips with thin and sensitive skin and prevent them from cracking and hurting, hand masks where you can sleep by wearing a glove after applying them can make you wake up with a soft touch to the day.
