Winter is well and truly here, with its fair share of pros and cons... Raclette, evenings by the fire, and ski vacations are here! Yes, but... winter temperatures aren't our skin's best friend, quite the opposite! And neither are raclettes, as you might expect!
What are the effects of cold on our skin?
During periods of extreme cold or after a day spent outdoors hitting the slopes, our skin is attacked and dehydrated. Indeed, unless we disappear under an ultra-enveloping balaclava, our face remains very exposed to the icy air of the snowy peaks...
The observation: our skin is dry and sometimes even rough or irritated. We may also notice small cracks or chapped skin and feel a great need to rehydrate our skin. These phenomena are due to the cold. The latter slows blood circulation and reduces the protective hydrolipidic film of our skin. Dry cells accumulate, while the breakdown of dead cells is inhibited.
This is why a suitable beauty routine, consisting of a good moisturizer, is necessary to deal with the inconveniences of winter.
Our tips for a winter facial care routine
A skin hydration and protection routine is essential
Before you reach a crisis point with dry, cracked skin, it's best to plan ahead and protect your skin before exposing yourself to the cold. To do this, we offer a 100% hydration and protection routine.
How to have a good skincare routine?
A good facial skincare routine is made up of several essential steps. Here, we're offering you a four-step routine.
1. Detoxify and cleanse with the Go For Detox food supplement
Ideal for a detox after the end-of-year holidays or before the arrival of sunny days, this food supplement will be your ally to regain intestinal comfort and purify your body from the inside out.
2. Cleanse and prep with Go For Glow Cleansing Gel
You won't be able to live without this gel! This exfoliating cleansing gel is perfect for gently cleansing your face with gentle exfoliation thanks to pomegranate enzymes.
3. Prepare the skin with a toner
There's nothing better than a lotion to prepare your skin for moisturizer. Lotion will soothe your skin after cleansing and help your moisturizer absorb better. We recommend a floral water, such as orange blossom water , which is known for its soothing properties.
4. Intensely moisturize with Go For Protection moisturizer
The formula of this moisturizing day cream is perfect for optimal hydration, while respecting the skin's microbiota. A feat of formulation, Go For Protection offers a specially developed formula to provide complete hydration.
5. Repair and nourish with Time to Repair regenerating treatment
Time To Repair night cream is ideal for skin exposed to extreme cold or wind. This is the treatment you need during the winter!
When to start this beauty routine?
We recommend starting this routine a few days before your winter sports trip, or as soon as the temperatures start to drop seriously.
For flawless skin, what facial routine?
A facial routine also means a body routine. At Demain®, all our routines are designed holistically. There's no question of not taking care of your body from the inside out. A good skincare routine is done from the outside in, through topical application, but also from the inside out.
Detoxify to start the day off right
It's 8 o'clock and you're almost regretting the raclette party last night. Don't feel guilty anymore, the holidays are also there for having fun. First step: to purify your body, ingest a capsule of Go For Detox with a large glass of water. This food supplement will facilitate your digestion and help the proper functioning of your liver. Thanks to the many plants with detoxifying properties and vitamin B6 in Go For Detox , your body will be cleansed and you will feel in great shape to start a new day.
Clean and prepare
After a good breakfast that will give you all the energy you need to face the winter conditions, head to the bathroom. First, it's necessary to thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove impurities and dead skin. On damp skin and with your fingertips using circular motions, apply a small amount of Go For Glow Universal Radiance Exfoliating Cleansing Gel and gently massage all over your face, then rinse. Both a cleanser and a gentle exfoliator, the exfoliation step is also done during your facial cleansing. Your skin is then rid of its impurities and ready for a moisturizer.
Intensely hydrate
Now that your skin is clean, it's time to move on to the most important step in this routine: moisturizing. To prevent or treat dry skin, you need to strengthen the lipid film that maintains the skin's moisture level. To do this, apply Go For Protection Anti-Oxidant Radiance Moisturizing Day Cream to your face, which hydrates, nourishes, and boosts skin radiance while reducing fine lines caused by dehydration. If your skin is very dry, we recommend applying a thick layer of this treatment.
