How to take care of your skin in winter?

Winter is a time of year when our skin is put to the test. Between the cold, the wind and indoor heating, the skin barrier is often weakened, which can lead to dryness, tightness and redness. Adapting your winter skincare routine then becomes essential to maintain healthy, hydrated and radiant skin. Discover our professional advice, practical tips and an ideal routine to pamper your skin during this cold season.

Winter challenges for the skin

The cold outside combined with the dry air of heated interiors disrupts the skin's natural balance. Here are some of the most common effects of winter:

• Dryness and dehydration : Lack of humidity in the air robs the skin of moisture, making the complexion dull.
• Redness and irritation : cold attacks the skin, which can cause inflammation and redness.
• Alteration of the skin barrier : temperature variations weaken the skin, making it more sensitive.

To deal with this, it is essential to review your skin care and favor nourishing and protective products adapted to the season.
