You might not expect it, but it can snow heavily in Greece. During my training in Athens, we studied in detail the effects of cold, dry air on the face. Winter always invites me to slow down, to reflect a little, but also to pay extra attention to myself. For the skin, that means warmth, comfort, and protection against the biting cold, dry air, and heating. As a skin therapist, I do not consider skincare a routine, but a ritual. That not only sounds more pleasant, but also helps the skin adapt to changing seasons and weather conditions. Winter skin calls for a combination of protection, repair, and nourishment, in a way that soothes the skin while energizing it. Below, I share my tips for a stable skin in turbulent times.
protection starts with the lips
The lips are often the first victim of winter conditions. The Lip Balm SPF30 by Malin+Goetz combines nourishment with a high SPF, which is also essential in winter. UV radiation is always present, especially on cold, clear days. The texture is comfortable and discreet, and fits effortlessly into a daily routine for both women and men.
repairing the skin barrier
In winter, the skin loses lipids more quickly. Biologique Recherche's Crème Dermo RL supports the natural repair of the skin barrier and helps restore comfort and suppleness. The formula is rich and effective, making it particularly suitable for skin that feels tight or has lost its balance.
daily protection with care
A day cream with SPF is not a luxury, but a necessity. Aman Multi Protection Day Cream SPF30 protects the skin against UV radiation and external stressors, and contributes to an even and healthy skin appearance. The texture feels pleasant and visibly calms the skin throughout the day.
intense hydration at a scientific level
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most researched ingredients in modern skincare. This PCA Hyaluronic Duo works on different levels in the skin and supports both deep hydration and the retention of moisture on the skin's surface. The result is skin that looks fuller and smoother, even on dry winter days.
energy and clarity in the morning
Vitamin C plays an important role in supporting collagen and protecting the skin against free radicals. The Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum by Raaie is ideal for the morning and helps the skin look fresh and energetic while enhancing its natural radiance.
