Autumn-Winter Ritual
With the arrival of winter, facial skin can suffer from dryness, tightness, and redness due to extreme cold. Additionally, the contrast between low outdoor temperatures and indoor heating can accelerate moisture loss, leaving the skin more vulnerable. Pampering and protecting it during the cold months is essential for maintaining its health and comfort.

1Cleanse
An appropriate cleansing routine not only improves the appearance of your skin but also protects it from the cold and dryness caused by heating. Daily cleansing is essential for keeping the skin in optimal condition during winter. Opt for gentle formulas, without harsh agents, that remove impurities without altering its natural hydration. Micellar solution is an excellent option, as it cleanses gently while respecting the skin barrier.
Incorporate gentle exfoliation once a week to remove dead cells, stimulate cell renewal, and enhance the skin's brightness and softness. This will allow subsequent treatments to be better absorbed and the skin to regain its brightness and softness.
2Treat
The cold and sudden temperature changes can weaken the skin, reducing its ability to retain water and leaving it more vulnerable. To restore its balance and strengthen its protective barrier, it is essential to incorporate a serum with highly hydrating and revitalising active ingredients.
Hyaluronic acid is key in this process, as it helps retain moisture in the skin, providing deep and lasting hydration that combats dryness and tightness. Betaine reinforces the barrier function, protecting the skin from dehydration, and red ginseng, known for its energising and antioxidant properties, helps revitalise the skin, giving it luminosity and a healthier appearance.
Applying a serum with these active ingredients morning and night will allow the skin to regain its flexibility, freshness, and comfort, preparing it to face winter changes more easily.
3Care
The choice of facial cream is very important at this time of year, as the skin's natural barrier is weakened. During the colder months, it is usually advisable to switch to creams with a richer and more enveloping texture, which provide nourishment and comfort to the skin. A facial cream rich in ceramides, shea butter, or camellia oil will help strengthen the skin barrier, preventing water loss and protecting it from external stressors such as cold or wind. Applying a cream with some of these active ingredients both in the morning and at night will keep the skin hydrated, protected, and looking healthy throughout the winter season.
4Protect
Making sun protection a daily habit will ensure strong, luminous, and protected skin throughout the winter. Even though temperatures are low, exposure to UV rays remains one of the main causes of premature ageing and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, the combination of cold, wind, and heating can weaken the skin barrier, making it more prone to irritation and dryness.
To protect the skin from these factors, it is essential to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even when the sky is cloudy. Opt for formulas enriched with hydrating and antioxidant ingredients that, in addition to offering protection, help keep the skin flexible and resilient against environmental stressors.
If you are looking for extra comfort while unifying the skin tone, tinted sunscreens or SPF 50+ CC Creams are an excellent option, as they combine protection, hydration, and light coverage, providing a natural and healthy finish.
