Winter is well and truly here, with its share of advantages and disadvantages... Raclettes, evenings by the fire and ski holidays are here! Yes, but... winter temperatures are not our skin's best friends, quite the contrary! 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 hurtling down 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 can also notice small cracks or chapping and we feel a great need to rehydrate our skin. These phenomena are due to the cold. The latter slows down blood circulation and reduces the protective hydro-lipidic film of our skin. Dry cells accumulate, while the degradation 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 FOOL-FREE FACIAL CARE ROUTINE
A SKIN HYDRATION AND PROTECTION ROUTINE IS ESSENTIAL
Before reaching a crisis situation with dry and cracked skin, it is better to anticipate and protect your skin before exposure to extreme cold. For this, we offer you 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 offer you a routine in four key steps.
1. Detoxify and cleanse with the Go For Detox food supplement
Ideal for a detox after the end-of-year celebrations 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.
2. Cleanse and prep with Go For Glow Cleansing Gel
You won't be able to do without this gel! This exfoliating cleansing gel is perfect for gently cleaning your face by performing a gentle exfoliation thanks to pomegranate enzymes.
3. Prepare the skin with a toner
There is nothing better than a lotion to prepare the skin to receive its moisturizer. The lotion will soothe the skin after cleansing, and will allow better absorption of the moisturizer. We recommend a floral water, for example orange blossom water , known for its soothing properties.
4. Hydrate intensely with Go For Protection moisturizer
The formula of this moisturizing day cream is perfect for optimal hydration, while respecting the skin microbiota. A feat of formulation, Go For Protection offers a particularly elaborate formula to provide a complete hydration action.
5. Repair and nourish with Time to Repair regenerating treatment
Time To Repair night care is ideal for skin exposed to extreme cold or wind. In winter, this is the care you need!
WHEN TO START THIS BEAUTY ROUTINE?
We recommend starting this routine a few days before you go on a winter sports holiday, or as soon as temperatures start to drop seriously.
FOR FLAWLESS SKIN, WHAT FACIAL ROUTINE?
Who says facial routine also says "body" routine. At Demain®, all our routines are designed in a holistic way. There is no question of not taking care of your body from the inside. A good skincare routine is done from the outside, by topical application, but also from the inside.
1. Detoxify to start the day off right
It's 8 o'clock and you almost regret the raclette evening the night before. Don't feel guilty anymore, the holidays are also there to have 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 your liver function properly. 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.
2. 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 is necessary to clean your skin well, in order to eliminate impurities and dead skin. On damp skin and with your fingertips in circular movements, apply a small amount of the Go For Glow Universal Radiance Exfoliating Cleansing Gel and gently massage the entire 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 to receive a moisturizing treatment.
3. Intensely hydrate
Now that your skin is clean, it's time to move on to the major 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 the skin's radiance while reducing fine lines caused by dehydration. If your skin is very dry, we recommend applying this treatment in a thick layer.
4. Repair and nourish
We come to the last step of our routine, which will be done in the evening before bed. Your skin has faced external aggressions all day and needs to be nourished and repaired. After cleansing or removing makeup, apply the Time To Repair Universal Regenerating Night Cream generously to your face. This treatment detoxifies, nourishes and repairs the skin while you sleep. A friend of sensitive skin, its clean formula helps balance the skin microbiota. In addition to nourishing your skin, this last beauty step of the day will peacefully take you to a restful sleep, accompanied by a sweet scent of orange blossom.
WHAT IS THE BEST SKINCARE ROUTINE?
There is no such thing as a "best" skincare routine. However, it is true that routines made up of natural products that are gentle on the skin and respect the skin microbiota will probably be better than routines made up of traditional products, which often contain ingredients that can be irritating or even toxic.
In any case, the classic skincare routine always begins with a skin cleansing step, which can itself consist of a gentle exfoliation. Then, we recommend using a toner, in order to prepare the skin to receive its serum, then its moisturizer. For example, we recommend orange blossom water , which, in addition to acting as a toner, will soothe the skin. For the serum, opt for an anti-aging one, for a targeted action on the signs of aging and to limit the appearance of wrinkles. Don't miss out on the Happy Age serum!
Ultimately, the best skincare routine will probably be the routine that is right for your skin!

For sensitive skin, we recommend nourishing treatments with rich formulas. This will be the case in particular with the Time To Repair regenerating night treatment, composed in particular of a combo of oils that restructure the hydrolipidic film and intercellular cement.

Concentrated in omega 3 and 6, rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, its composition allows the regeneration of the skin barrier at the level of the hydrolipidic film as well as the intercellular cement. Antioxidant, it strengthens the natural protection of the skin. This oil restores the skin's full function as a barrier against external aggressions while giving it a plumping effect.
