That time of the year has just arrived. Now you might need a winter routine for sensitive skins…
Dryness is one of the main damages caused by cold weather on the skin. The winter climate, which is low in air humidity, causes the skin barrier to be damaged and causes it to dry and flake. Of course, let’s not forget the dryness caused by heaters. As you can see, the volume fights on not one, but two fronts. If you do not apply special care for dry skin, dryness causes itching, sensitivity and redness.
Winter Routine For Sensitive Skins
So, what should you pay attention to if you have sensitive skin in winter?
First of all, you should avoid products that will act aggressively on your skin. Take a break from treatments that will stress the skin, such as harsh cleansers, acid peels, mechanical exfoliation.
Be careful of ingredients such as perfume and alcohol that are unstable like retinol and may cause extra reactions.
Finally, we don’t actually need to give this warning, but never forget to use sunscreen.
After listing the things you need to pay attention to, it’s time to join forces. We have compiled hero products that you can use to protect your skin health even on the days when the thermometer shows the lowest temperatures and to have a healthy, glowing, smooth and soft skin appearance.
When it comes to moisture, it is beneficial to choose your daily moisturizer from intense formulas. Get ready, we’re bringing heavy weapons to light. We are all already familiar with hyaluronic acid, which has the capacity to hold water 1000 times its own weight. In addition, for sensitive skin, be sure to check out the formulas fortified with ingredients that nourish, plump and heal the skin, such as fatty acids, peptides and niacinamide.
Barrier Regenerators

We have bad news for you – but don’t worry – it is not insoluble. No matter how powerful they are, sometimes moisturizers are not enough, and sensitive skin may need different support. Relieving severe skin dryness requires repairing the skin barrier, and this is where barrier repairing and restructuring creams come into play. Niacinamide, which triggers the production of ceramides, fatty acids and fatty acids, is also active. We also have our hero ingredient, Centella Asiatica, or better known as Cica. This ingredient, which has anti-inflammatory and healing properties, acts like a medicine for irritated skin. Let’s not forget your other ally, oats. It is very soothing and nourishing when it comes to dry and sensitive skin.
Soothing Masks

For an effective application that will allow you to go a long way with a single dose, we leave the word to care masks. These products, with concentrated formulas, are designed to instill the ingredient cocktail your skin needs in the shortest time possible. By the way, let’s draw attention to night masks, which are among our favorites, in addition to paper masks and cream masks. These masks make sense for this reason:
The skin repairs itself at night, during sleep. To be more specific, between 23:00 and 03:00 at night. During this period when the skin rests, takes time for itself and tries to heal, you can support it with care masks, make its work easier and speed up the process. Sleep and wake up to healed skin.
Repairing Oils

Speaking of healing and repairing the skin, we should not bring up care oils. You should definitely add care oils to your daily care ritual not only to moisturize the skin but also to restructure the skin barrier and to get rid of the rough appearance caused by dryness and have a smoother and softer touch. You can bring back the natural radiance and health of the skin with natural oils.
Support Products

If you want to have a joker in your hand if you already have a square wand with masks, creams, barrier repairers and care oils, be sure to take a look at the support products we have put together.
Our first product may surprise you: Vaseline. Petrolium gel is a great repairer for dry and itchy skin. You can get full efficiency by applying this product to your damp skin after taking a bath or washing your face. Or you can apply the gel in a thin layer as the last step of your care routine to ensure that moisture is trapped in the skin.
Another bonus is color correcting care products. With redness-relieving care products – which are generally light green in color according to the contrast color theory – you can protect your skin against cold weather, while at the same time preventing redness and having a more even skin appearance.
Finally, it is not enough to moisturize your face only in the morning and evening. Your skin may also become thirsty during the day. You can keep your skin vibrant, healthy and radiant all day long with essences and mist that moisturize and protect the skin against environmental factors.
