Winter skin care

The cold snap has wreaked havoc on our daily lives, so much so that you may have overlooked that it also affects your skin. Freezing temperatures and cold wind have negative effects on our dermis. Today, we tell you what these effects are and give you the keys to prevent and soothe your skin in the face of this polar cold. It is very important to take care of our skin during any time of the year. In winter, a double effort must be made, especially if temperatures drop below 0 degrees.

The skin is very sensitive to temperature changes; the skin's barrier function deteriorates, and we tend toward dehydration. That is why cosmetic textures must be adapted to this time of year when the skin is so exposed to the cold.

And although we are all feeling the effects of "Filomena" on our skin, it is the more sensitive, thin, and dry skins that may experience more tightness and redness.

Effects of cold on your skin

The cold causes blood capillaries to contract to maintain body heat, and because of this, an insufficient amount of oxygen and nutrients reaches the cells of the epidermis. This is why we notice our skin looking duller and more fragile. Spider veins and/or eczema can even appear. Our barrier function deteriorates, so it is necessary to use richer, lipid-based creams to deeply protect and nourish the skin.
The cold also hinders cellular renewal, which is why we accumulate dead cells that increase the paleness of the skin and prevent moisturizing creams from being absorbed correctly. Finally, due to the use of heaters, pollution increases, as do the oxidative effects on the cells of the epidermis. Skin aging is accelerated, which must be combated with a good dose of antioxidants.

What can we do?

Leaving laziness behind is fundamental to taking maximum care of the dermis and avoiding possible problems and discomfort. For care in these adverse weather conditions and to enjoy elastic, hydrated, and comfortable skin for hours, we have developed a routine that features our natural and organic products that help strengthen the skin's barrier and hydrate it.

Gentle cleansing that provides hydration and luminosity

Our infallible duo of REISHI MICELLAR CLEANSING + REISHI & HYALURONIC IMMUNITY MIST, in addition to deep cleaning without drying out, provides hydration and accelerates healing and cellular renewal processes, improving hydration, firmness, and luminosity. And thanks to the extract of the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom, known in Asia as the elixir of "eternal youth," it activates the autoimmune response of your epidermis, accelerating all repair and healing processes. It is much more than a cleanser; in two steps, we achieve skin that is completely renewed, purified, and overflowing with freshness.

An extra boost of nutrition and hyaluronic acid

It is clear that in the face of the cold, our skin needs an extra boost of hydration and nutrition to combat dryness and repair the barrier function. Our BIO HYALURONIC ACID NUTRITIVE REPAIR SERUM is the perfect ally to combat adverse atmospheric conditions, strengthening the skin's barrier and preventing dehydration. Not only does it contain SODIUM HYALURONATE, which restores optimal skin hydration levels, but it also contains antioxidant botanical assets, such as edelweiss extract and organic sacha inchi and avocado oils, which, in addition to slowing the action of free radicals, deeply nourish.

Take the opportunity to do a vitamin treatment

This time is ideal for treating sun damage caused during the warmer months. If you have discovered any spots or want to boost the luminosity of your skin, incorporate vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid into your facial routine. They are the most effective natural antioxidants with depigmenting action that exist, especially when all 3 are combined in the same product, and they will not only help you treat spots but will also protect you from the aging caused by environmental pollution on your skin. And Filomena, in addition to snow and cold, at least in Madrid, has also brought a large increase in pollution. Protect yourself!

A good organic moisturizer that absorbs quickly and leaves your skin comfortable for hours

We suggest our ARGAN & AVOCADO FACIAL FLUID because it is a powerful facial moisturizing cream, formulated to provide the essential fatty elements to rebuild the lipid barrier and restore the skin's softness. It increases elasticity, nourishing and repairing the skin. Its antioxidant action neutralizes free radicals that contribute to skin aging.
If your skin is sensitive or you have already reached the point of suffering from redness due to the cold, we recommend the ROSEHIP & CALENDULA FACIAL FLUID. This is a moisturizing, regenerating, and soothing treatment for sensitive and highly reactive skin. In addition, it is formulated with probiotics with moisturizing, antibacterial, and humectant properties, helping to balance the skin's microbiome.

A good body oil that nourishes and soothes the skin of the entire body

Don't forget the body! Even if you are bundled up to your ears, the skin on your body also needs care in winter, which is why we suggest RELAX & SMOOTHING HYPERICUM & CALENDULA OIL
Nutrition for the body is essential this time of year. It is advisable to intensify it on the legs and feet, without forgetting the heels, which are very prone to dryness! We end up kicking ourselves later when we want to wear sandals and haven't cared for our heels during the winter. This Herbera product is a nourishing treatment formulated with organic calendula and hypericum oil with anti-inflammatory and regenerating action, which, together with ginkgo biloba extract, exerts a soothing and anti-redness action. Not to mention that that little bit of time after your shower that you dedicate to yourself, giving yourself a light massage, is simply worth gold!
So, do not forget to take care of your skin more than ever during these months of harsh winter, and remember that after the storm, the sun always, always comes out.
