Take care of your skin in cold weather

Autumn and winter are the cocooning seasons par excellence. It's the time of year when it feels good to stay home and pamper yourself. On the other hand, one aspect that we too often forget is that temperature changes can have consequences on our skin! It is important to review our beauty routine at this time of year. Here are some 100% local beauty and well-being tips to do you good.

Exfoliate your skin

The first step to a new skin: exfoliate! Exfoliation eliminates dead skin cells accumulated during the hot season. It also leaves the skin softer and clearer. It is recommended to use a gentle scrub like the one from Be-U to exfoliate the skin of the body and face about twice a week. In addition, it will enhance the effectiveness of your products by allowing them to penetrate more easily.

feed your face

When the cold sets in, the skin needs more nutrition. One of the solutions to further nourish the skin of our face is to replace our usual makeup remover with a cleansing milk or a cleansing oil. Milks contain moisturizing agents beneficial to the skin such as argan oil and shea butter. They also contain vitamin E, which is beneficial for the skin.

Never skip the “creaming” session after your daily beauty routine. Applying a day cream in the morning, and a richer night cream in the evening before bed, will give you baby-beautiful skin.

Stay hydrated

Stock up on water and herbal tea this time of year. The skin is hydrated both inside and outside; so, drink plenty to have radiant and hydrated skin.

Don't forget your lips

Choose 100% natural balms at all times. Most lip balms relieve dryness instantly, but also contain dehydrating ingredients. These are used to maintain the shape of your stick balm. Make sure you always read the ingredient list! For a safe bet, we opt for the lip balms of Apothecary Moderne

Take care of your hands

The hands are the most prone to aggression. Remember to feed them daily with a moisturizer.

Smith Farms Skincare Vitamin Rich Hand Cream is ideal for speeding up the healing of cold damaged skin.

And your hair!

Taking care of your scalp and hair is just as important. To do this, avoid washing them in too hot water, as this attacks the scalp and can increase the production of sebum. Privilege a moisturizing shampoo that will protect your hair from external aggressions.
