Dehydrated skin is above all uncomfortable skin, prone to irritation and redness . If for some time you have noticed redness around the nose and on the cheeks or if your skin feels tight after cleansing or during the day, it is crying out for help!
Do not panic, it is a usual temporary state, especially in winter, and even more so at the moment with low temperatures. It must also be admitted that wearing the daily mask for several months does not help in any way. It prevents our skin from breathing and can irritate the epidermis of the most sensitive skin. Whatever your skin type (combination, dry, mature, with imperfections, etc.), you may be affected by tightness, redness and sensitivity. No worries, we have what you need to take care of your skin!
To protect weakened skin , we already start by putting aside all the slightly aggressive products that we have in our bathroom. No more stripping cleanser, purifying micellar water, or even the charcoal mask, we want softness! For that we choose a very gentle make-up remover oil, rich in vegetable oils which will allow us to remove make-up from the skin while providing it with hydration at the same time. For the cleanser, a creamy and light texture will be ideal. Or why not a mousse that contains gentle ingredients such as calendula oil which is perfect for irritated skin and potential cracks (yes the cold is not forgiving!).
• Very gentle make-up remover oil by Clémence and Vivien, a creamy concentrate that eliminates the most stubborn make-up. An iron fist in a velvet glove, is that how you say no?
• PAI SKINCARE's very gentle organic cleansing cream, with rose oil to stimulate cell regeneration and eliminate dead skin.
• Balance Me Cleansing Balm, which contains vegetable butters (shea, cocoa and mango).
• Le Baume Céleste by Absolution, a make-up remover jelly oil-balm with twelve botanical active ingredients and enriched with coconut oil and blue chamomile. The latter is soothing, perfect for reactive skin.
It is also thought to avoid hot water which tends to irritate the skin. Follow with a floral or tonic water, always with a view to hydrating. We do not let the water “dry” on the skin, quite the contrary! A protective and soothing oil is applied directly, which will provide comfort and nutrition .
Hydration is surely the key word for dry skin that is subject to external aggressions (cold, pollution, etc.). To repair your skin you can use a vegetable oil or a moisturizer for sensitive skin. If you prefer organic vegetable oils, consider adding the thirst-quenching serum with hyaluronic acid from Clémence and Vivien. Hyaluronic acid will create a protective film on the skin, which will provide it with a barrier against the cold but will also allow it to keep its hydration throughout the day.
With the cold, the skin also tends to peel. That is to say, it will come off in small strips. To avoid this think, you can also choose to use a balm. It will bring comfort and soothing to your distressed skin. To apply a balm as a moisturizer, take a small amount of balm and warm it between your hands before applying it to the face with gentle circular massages and light tapping until completely absorbed. If it perfectly replaces your day cream, the balm is also very effective in night care:it can be applied in a thicker layer to form an ultra-nourishing, protective and regenerating night mask. Otherwise a rich night cream can also do the trick!
• Sweet almond oil from Oden, soothing and protective.
• Terre de Mars resonance face oil, which contains caffeine, perfect for reducing redness and toning the skin.
• Médène Botanical Moonlight Night Serum, a regenerating multi-action treatment that will illuminate the complexion of dull and tired skin.
• The Miracle Balm by Ho Karan, an ultra-nourishing treatment for the face and perfect for the lips. It also treats dryness, soothes rosacea and psoriasis as well as skin irritations. Use it as a treatment, balm or mask!
With winter and the cold coming, you can also start food supplement cures to help your skin prepare. The D-Lab brand, sold on our online store, offers two cures that are ideal for this time of year. You have the choice between the “Absolu Omegas 3-6-9” cure, which will provide you with essential fatty acids which are essential for the skin. They will limit water loss, make the skin more supple, more elastic and reduce redness and inflammation that can be caused by the cold. The “Soothed skin complex” can also be useful to you.
In any case, you must think cocooning care! Also remember to drink, hydration is done as much with a good hot teapot as with a cream! We leave you with a winter care routine video, sometimes images speak better than a long text!
