During the cold season, your skin often goes from hot to cold. In order to prevent disgraceful and unpleasant skin reactions : dry skin, irritation, breakouts, here are tips on how to take care of your skin during winter and colder weather.
Apply a serum prior to your moisturizing care product.
Generally speaking, your skin will appear dryer in winter. Unfortunately, aging signs will speed up and your complexion will sallow. To strengthen your skin against outdoor aggressions, but also to stimulate it, apply a serum (moisturizing for mixed and normal skin and nourishing for dry skin). Because of its concentrated active ingredients, a serum will immediately bring the wanted correction, that your skin needs. Thus, when you will apply your moisturizer, your skin will be protected and ready to receive moisturizing.

Abuse of beauty masks
When the weather drops, moisturizing beauty masks (for dry skin) and nourishing (in case of very dry and sensitive skin) will be your best allies. Don’t hesitate to apply them several times a week (not more than 3 times), to efficiently nourish your skin and counter the moisture loss caused by cold weather. For more damaged skins, touched by dehydration, or skin that pulls, choose a mask care about 3 times a week, leaving the mask on for about 10 minutes. If you are in a hurry, apply the mask while you are in the shower.
