The winter feeling comes to the fore and it is getting darker outside. The cold days have really started now. We notice it in our resistance, but our skin can also endure it. Do you suffer from dry skin? We give you 6 tips to get through the winter with radiant skin.
Good protection
When you jump on your bike or go for a walk, make sure your skin is protected by wearing comfortable, non-irritating clothing. Good argument to go shopping for a pair of trendy mittens, scarf and hat.
Green in the house If it's cold outside, you're only too happy to turn up the heating. But when the air in your house is dry, it's not good for your skin. A humidifier can help, but an air-purifying plant in the house also does wonders for air quality. How about a palm? Also looks a lot nicer.
Nutrition
A balanced diet is important. Therefore, regularly put salmon, spinach and red pepper on the menu. Fish is full of omega-3 fats, which together with cholesterol and ceramides form a natural protective layer and thus ensure that your skin is hydrated from the inside out. Spinach contains a lot of iron, which is an important ingredient for healthy-looking skin, among other things. Red bell pepper contains a lot of vitamin C, which in turn provides more firmness to your skin. Tasty and good for you.
Bath ritual Having a long, hot shower warm you up is nice, but hot water can really dry out your skin. It is better to take a short shower, set a timer for five minutes, and use lukewarm water. Do not use soap, but opt for a cleansing bath oil. Do not rub your towel after your shower, but pat your skin dry. Is your skin very dry and sensitive? Apply a greasy cream or ointment after showering. After drying out by using water, you can use this to hydrate your skin.

Set aside time to do things that you really enjoy. Cold and dark days? Grab the opportunity with both hands and take your rest. How about a sauna visit, with a blanket on the couch, a good book, candles? Zen into the winter!
