The FOR BEAUTY trade fair will take place on April 11-12, 2025, presenting you with the latest trends in beauty and skin care. To make your wait shorter, we have prepared a practical article for you on how to properly care for your skin in the winter.

 

The winter season presents a number of challenges for the skin, especially for women in their forties, when the first signs of aging begin to appear. Low temperatures, cold wind and dry air indoors can lead to dehydration and increased skin sensitivity. Proper skin care in the winter should include several key steps that will ensure its health and youthful appearance.

 

 

1. Intensive Hydration and Nutrition

In the cold winter season, hydration and nutrition are key elements of skin care. Low temperatures and dry air weaken the skin's natural protective barrier, which leads to dehydration, dry flakes and increased sensitivity. That’s why it’s important to use products that combine hydrating and nourishing ingredients to keep your skin soft, supple and protected.

 

Choosing the right cream

Choosing the right cream is key to success. Thicker creams with a higher proportion of natural oils, such as almond, argan or jojoba, provide the skin with the necessary lipids and restore its protective barrier. Substances such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin or ceramides also play an important role, helping to retain moisture within the skin. For example, a hydrating antioxidant day cream with SPF30 is an ideal solution for daily skin care, as it provides deep hydration, protects against free radicals and promotes a healthy appearance of the skin.

 

Additional hydration tips

• Skin serums: Using a serum under your cream can improve the effectiveness of hydration. Serums with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C support hydration while fighting signs of aging.
• Face masks: Use a hydrating face mask once or twice a week to give your skin an extra dose of nourishment. Masks with shea butter or aloe vera extract are ideal.
• Hydrate from within: Don’t forget to drink enough water. Drinking water and herbal teas help hydrate your skin from within.

 

Application and routine

To make hydration effective, apply the cream to slightly damp skin, for example after using a toner or lotion. This allows for better absorption of moisturizing ingredients and helps to “lock” moisture into the skin. Apply the cream with gentle movements and never press too hard on the skin to avoid irritation.

Thanks to proper hydration and nutrition, the skin can resist the adverse effects of winter weather, remaining supple, healthy and youthful.

 

2. UV Protection

Even in the winter months, it is essential to protect the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Although sunlight may be less intense, UV rays penetrate clouds and reflect off snow cover, increasing their impact on the skin. This reflection can increase UV exposure by up to 50-90%.

It is recommended to use day creams with a high sun protection factor (SPF) to protect your skin. Biofresh Sun Care SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen provides strong protection against harmful sun rays while also slowing down skin aging.

Regular application of a high SPF sunscreen helps prevent premature skin aging caused by sun exposure, including wrinkles and age spots. It is important to apply sunscreen to your face even on cloudy days and to reapply when spending a long time outdoors.

 

3. Choosing a Cream According to Your Skin Type

Each skin type has its own specific needs in winter, which are important to consider when choosing the right care. Cold temperatures, dry air and frequent temperature changes between the outdoors and heated interiors affect the skin in different ways. That's why it's crucial to use creams adapted to your skin type to avoid dehydration, irritation or clogged pores. Here's an overview of the recommended care for each skin type:

• Dry skin: Requires thicker creams rich in lipids that restore the skin's protective barrier. Simply Nature's Phytopeptide Day Cream for Mature Skin is a natural cream designed to protect the skin in freezing weather, preventing water loss and protecting against redness.
• Oily and combination skin: Prefers lighter textures that don't clog pores but still provide the necessary hydration. Simply Nature by Clochee FILLER SPF 50 Anti-Wrinkle Hydrating Day Cream is a light moisturizer suitable for oily and combination skin.
• Sensitive skin: Requires products without perfumes and irritants to minimize the risk of irritation. We Love The Planet SPF20 Natural Sunscreen Stick is suitable for sensitive skin thanks to its gentle formula.

 

4. Night Regeneration

During sleep, the skin undergoes intensive regeneration, repairing damage caused by external factors such as UV radiation and pollution. Night creams play a key role in supporting these processes thanks to higher concentrations of active ingredients that stimulate cell renewal and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

 

Key ingredients in night creams:

• Retinol (vitamin A): Promotes collagen production, improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
• Peptides: Strengthen the skin barrier and promote cell regeneration, leading to firmer and smoother skin.
• Hyaluronic acid: Intensively hydrates the skin, increases its elasticity and fills in fine wrinkles.
• Antioxidants (e.g. vitamins C and E): Protects the skin from free radicals and promotes its clarity.

 

For optimal night care, it is advisable to choose products that combine these active ingredients. The Anti-Age Night Deep Skin Smoothing Package contains night creams enriched with peptides and hyaluronic acid, which together support skin regeneration, reduce signs of aging and are our tip.

 

Tips for applying night cream:

• Thorough cleansing: Before applying night cream, cleanse the skin of makeup and impurities so that the active ingredients can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.
• Regularity: Use night cream every evening to maximize its regenerative effects.
• Correct amount: Apply an appropriate amount of cream to the face and neck and gently massage in circular movements upwards.

 

Including a quality night cream in your evening routine will support the skin's natural regenerative processes, which will lead to a healthier and more youthful appearance.

 

5. Special Care in the Mountains

 

When staying in the mountains, the skin is exposed to more intense UV radiation and extreme conditions. The use of creams with high SPF and protective ingredients is essential. For example, the already mentioned Biofresh Sun Care SPF 50 Facial Sunscreen Cream provides high protection against sunlight in mountain conditions.

 

6. Dietary Supplements for Healthy Skin

 

To support skin health, it is advisable to include supplements containing collagen, vitamin C, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, which contribute to skin hydration and elasticity.

 

7. Avoid common mistakes

 

• Using harsh cleansers: Soaps can dry out your skin; opt for gentle cleansing gels or milks.
• Skipping SPF: UV protection is essential even in winter.
• Insufficient hydration: Skin needs moisture not only from the outside but also from the inside; keep drinking water.
• Neglecting your lips and hands: These areas are especially vulnerable in winter; use lip balms and hand creams.

By following these principles and choosing the right products available on our marketplace, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and protected even during the coldest months.
