How to take care of your skin in winter?
In winter, the cold, wind and heated interiors put our skin to the test. To avoid dryness and tightness , it is essential to adopt a skincare routine specific to this season.
In this article, we share tips for moisturizing, exfoliating , and caring for your skin to keep it glowing and healthy during the winter months.
Why does skin need special care in winter?
Winter is a tough time for your skin. Cold, wind and indoor heating all contribute to drying out your skin, causing tightness, redness and discomfort. Your skin barrier becomes fragile, and dry air increases the loss of natural moisture. To counteract these effects, it is essential to strengthen your skin's protective barrier with products rich in nourishing active ingredients such as natural oils and shea butter.
However, for these products to be effective, the skin must be properly prepared. Regular exfoliation, especially with dry brushing, helps remove dead cells, promoting better absorption of care and softer, more supple skin.
The Benefits of Dry Brushing for Skin in Winter
Dry brushing is a gentle exfoliation method that is ideal for winter. It helps remove dead cells , stimulate blood circulation and improve skin oxygenation, thus promoting cell regeneration. This simple gesture restores softness and radiance to the skin while facilitating the absorption of moisturizing products.
In winter, when skin is particularly vulnerable to dehydration, dry brushing plays a crucial role. It prepares the epidermis by removing impurities, allowing nourishing creams and oils to penetrate deep down for better hydrated skin that is protected from external aggressions.
How to properly practice dry brushing in winter?
For effective dry brushing, follow these steps:
- Use a natural bristle brush on dry skin, before showering.
- Use gentle, circular movements, starting from the feet and hands and moving toward the heart to stimulate blood circulation. (infographic)
- After brushing, take a shower to remove dead cells. Use a mild soap to clean the skin without damaging it.
- After showering, immediately apply a moisturizing cream or oil to deeply nourish the freshly exfoliated skin .
This ritual, performed once or twice a week, helps maintain smooth and supple skin throughout the winter.
This exfoliating body brush removes all dead skin cells while stimulating blood circulation. The skin is left smoother and softer.
