Winter! This is the title of this post. It also describes the season in which you need to take extra care of your skin to keep it in good condition all year.
It is crucial to pay close attention to your skincare routines and all internal and external factors that could damage them. Winter is especially important for your skin.
-
Deep cleaning
It is probably the most crucial step in maintaining perfect skin in winter since your skin must be clean and well-oxygenated to properly regenerate. It is an essential step throughout the year, and it should not be skipped. However, we often avoid it because of laziness.
Wash your face with the soap or lotion that suits your skin type and needs. After you have cleaned your face, apply the toner to complete the cleaning process, restore the natural pH and moisturize the skin.
-
Hydration external
After your facial cleansing, apply your moisturizing or nourishing cream to your daily routine.
You should know that the skin loses more water in winter, so it is important to protect your skin from external aggressors.
You can use a moisturizing lotion every morning before you apply your makeup. If you don’t do makeup, then apply a treatment or more nourishing cream before bed. The skin regenerates at night while we sleep. Therefore we need to use the most intense cosmetic treatments.
-
Internal hydration
Hydration is also found within. It is vital to drink plenty of water even if you don’t feel thirsty. Our body must function well and externally it can be seen at the level of skin, hair, nails.
We can also drink water regularly, but we can also maintain our body’s hydration by eating a healthy, balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables. These foods provide extra water due to their properties.
-
Exfoliation
To keep the skin hydrated, oxygenated, and in great condition, it is essential to exfoliate it to remove any dead skin and activate circulation to promote oxygenation and cell renewal.
Use a gentle exfoliant once per week if your skin is dry. This will remove any dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin and allow for the products to penetrate the skin. You can spread the time between exfoliations if your skin is oily. In this case, you may need to use a milder product to clean pores and oxygenate the skin so it breathes better.
You will see a difference in your skin if you do it consistently. You will notice a difference in the texture and softness of your skin.

Masks, veils, and alginates
Masks have been around for many years. Today, they are available in many textures, different formats, and different properties. Since strengthening treatment, masks have been a part of our lives for many years. Today, they are vital for intensive care and maintenance.
These moments are worth taking 20 minutes out of your day to pamper your skin.
-
Use sun protection
We are constantly illuminated by the sun every day to a greater or less extent. Therefore, we are constantly exposed to solar radiation in both summer and winter.
Take good care of your skin from sun exposure every single day. Although you may not notice it or think it is serious, it can cause premature skin aging. Sometimes skin problems may even occur.
-
Keep temperatures under control
As we’ve already mentioned, winter brings many temperature changes. These changes can be caused by the difference between indoors and outdoors.
Hot water is another element that could cause skin damage. It’s common to sinfully use very hot water to warm up or to wash our faces. This can cause reddening and burning and also remove the hydrolipidic protective layer that keeps our skin hydrated.
