Balancing Winter Routine - With healthy skin through the cold days

Especially in the cold season, our skin is subjected to greater stress than usual due to a variety of environmental influences. The currently fluctuating temperatures, dry heating air and the constant blowing of the nose due to the cool wind or the current flu epidemic cause dry, red and often cracked skin on the face and hands. We'll tell you here how you can use our products to combat the dry air and what else you can do to replenish the skin's moisture balance!

Do not use too many care products

Reduce your skincare routine to a minimum in winter to avoid overstimulating your skin. We often mean well and over-care for our skin. Overloading often results in blemishes, irritations, and dry patches that just won't go away. Concentrate on the most important care steps and use the products your skin is used to. We particularly recommend our Sensitive line in the cold winter months. It specifically cares for sensitive and stressed skin and provides moisture. The powerful active ingredients it contains care for and protect the skin optimally in the cold winter months. Hemp oil contains important omega-6 fatty acids, regenerates cells, and protects the skin - without making it too greasy. Oat extract has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect and is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. Chamomile extract provides intensive moisture, is extra gentle, and has an antibacterial effect.

Drink lots of water and tea

Our skin loses moisture particularly quickly in winter. The constantly changing weather conditions and the drying air from indoor heating put additional strain on it. That's why it's especially important to drink enough water in winter. This will plump up your skin from the inside and replenish your moisture levels. The more you drink, the better your skin will be hydrated and won't dry out as quickly. We know how difficult that can be sometimes. Often you just forget to drink regularly.

Therefore our tip:

Start your day with lemon water in the morning. Squeeze half a lemon into a glass of lukewarm water. This way, you will drink around 250 ml of liquid as soon as you get up, while strengthening your immune system with the vitamin C it contains, stimulating digestion and activating fat burning. You can also set a timer so that you are reminded to drink a glass of water every hour. For more variety, you can also drink unsweetened tea instead of water every now and then.

The right winter care routine

Always start your routine with cleansing as the basis for your care. In winter, it is enough to clean your skin with lukewarm water in the morning. This way you avoid losing the skin's protective lipids. In addition, the skin is less exposed to environmental influences at night, so it is enough to clean the sweat, dead skin cells and excess sebum that has built up overnight with water. In the evening, you should definitely use a cleansing product to remove dirt and makeup residue.

Use our Sensitive Wash Gel or Sensitive Facial Soap . It depends on whether you prefer solid or liquid cleansing products, because both cleanse your skin without drying it out. Then use the Sensitive Oil Serum to take extra care of your skin and provide it with plenty of moisture. It is particularly helpful for redness and dry skin and leaves a beautiful glow without appearing too oily.

Then apply a moisturizer. We recommend the Sensitive 24h Cream . You can use this both in the morning and in the evening for an extra moisture boost. You can also use face masks 1-2 times a week as intensive care. The effective active ingredients give your skin a pleasant feeling and provide it with additional moisture. We have various sheet masks that can all be easily integrated into your care routine.

If you are outside during the day and the sun is shining, you should definitely think about sun protection, even in winter. UV rays are harmful to the skin even in cold temperatures. That's why we recommend that you also use our Sensitive SPF15 day cream with a mineral UV filter during the day in winter. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a white residue.

Don't forget to take care of your lips and hands in winter. Our Lover Lip Balm makes your lips noticeably soft, nourishes them and also contains natural sun protection. The Softy Hand Cream intensively nourishes your hands, moisturizes them and protects them from the cold.
