What skincare should I use this winter?
During winter, the skin needs to be intensely nourished and hydrated, between the cold, air conditioning, colds, etc. Choose treatments with natural active ingredients to help the body prepare for winter. Products rich in vitamins and minerals are perfect for stimulating the epidermis and boosting the hydrolipidic barrier, which protects the skin from external aggressions.
Argan oil, a versatile treatment to boost the skin’s natural defenses
Highly publicized, argan oil is extracted by cold pressing its crushed and ground almonds. Known as the Berbers’ gold, this 100% natural oil is an ancestral remedy used by women for its cosmetic benefits. It helps protect against the effects of aging and accelerates skin regeneration, which is essential in winter.
What is the secret behind Morocco’s beauty elixir? A fountain of youth for the skin, its properties come from essential fatty acids, namely omegas 3 and 6, as well as vitamin E. These antioxidants help prevent skin dryness, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Multi-purpose, this oil can be applied to the face, body, and even hair. Non-greasy, it does not promote sebum production. The result on the skin is immediate. Argan oil improves hydration, nourishes the epidermis, and adds shine to hair, which can become dull in winter.
Eyes and hands: areas needing extra protection in winter
In winter, eyes are assaulted by wind and cold. They tend to water, and the salt from tears damages the delicate eye contour, which can cause dehydration lines to appear. Morning and evening, during skin cleansing, cornflower floral water applied as a compress helps decongest and soothe tired eyes. Applied from the inner to the outer corner, eye contour care acts as an anti-fatigue, firming, and smoothing cream to reduce puffiness and swelling.
Hands are highly exposed to the cold, which can cause chilblains and even cracks. Painful, these wounds are slow to heal, especially if you are regularly in contact with water or cleaning products. A repairing hand treatment should be applied twice a day for soft, deeply hydrated hands and to strengthen nails. For very damaged hands, apply a thick layer of treatment and wear a pair of cotton gloves overnight. This cocooning treatment is perfect for restoring hands to their best condition.
In the evening, to promote relaxation and sleep, massaging the joints (neck, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles) helps you unwind and prevents pain that can occur due to weather changes (humidity, wind), even in young people. A body butter is ideal for a long massage, using circular movements to help it penetrate the skin.
