Cold-Season Glow: Your Care Routine for the Cold Season

When temperatures drop, the air becomes drier, and cold wind brushes over the skin, this often quickly shows in the mirror: feelings of tightness, dryness, and a dull-looking complexion are among the most common skin problems in autumn and winter. But with the right care routine and targeted active ingredients, the skin can remain healthy, supple, and radiant even in the cold season.

Why the skin needs special care in winter

In autumn and winter, the skin works at full speed to protect itself against external influences. Cold air outside, dry heated air inside, and temperature fluctuations strain the natural skin barrier. At the same time, the skin produces less sebum due to the cold – the natural protective film becomes thinner, moisture can escape more easily, and irritations increase.

That is why it is especially important now to supply the skin intensively with lipids and moisture to strengthen the barrier function and prevent dryness wrinkles.

The right care routine for the cold season

1.       Gentle cleansing instead of harsh detergents: Use mild cleansing products that do not dry out the skin. Cleansing balms or creamy cleansing milk are ideal for gently removing dirt and makeup without stressing the protective lipid layer.

2.       Rich care for day and night: In winter, rely on creams with nurturing ingredients such as ceramides, shea butter, panthenol, or hyaluronic acid. These support the skin barrier, retain moisture, and protect against cold and wind.

3.       Moisture boost with serums and masks: A hyaluronic serum or a moisturizing mask once or twice a week works wonders. Especially after a long day in heated rooms, the skin appreciates an extra portion of care.

4.       Don’t forget sun protection: UV protection is important even in winter! Especially snow reflects UV rays, which can further strain the skin. Therefore, use a day care product with integrated sun protection factor daily.
