Small secrets, big effects for your skin in winter – how to protect your lips, hands, and face

In winter, the skin is exposed to low temperatures, dry air, and sudden changes between indoor and outdoor environments. A routine adapted to the cold season helps prevent dryness, cracking, and the loss of skin elasticity.

A few simple lifestyle adjustments can help us get through winter without affecting the skin's appearance. Moreover, I have discovered a few beauty benefits that cold weather offers. Do you want to find out what they are?

First, let's look on the bright side. Cold weather stimulates blood circulation, which has a magic effect on reducing inflammation and puffy eyes. Another advantage is that it keeps the skin firm; remember that cryotherapy treatments or the recommendation to wash your face with cold water in the morning are based on low temperatures.

Now, let's see what measures you can take for winter skincare.

How to keep your lips hydrated in winter

Lips have a reduced capacity to protect themselves against low temperatures due to the very thin layer of skin on their surface. Their hydration level drops rapidly, leading to dryness and cracking.

What can you do?

  1. Avoid licking your lips.
  2. Apply Sabio 100% natural lip balm several times a day, choosing based on your preference (Mint, Citrus, Herbal, Vanilla, Fragola, or Chocolate).

How to have silky hands in the cold season

Hands immediately become rough when exposed to the dry atmosphere generated by indoor heating systems.

What can you do?

  1. Use a moisturizing and nourishing soap, such as the Natural Liquid Soap – Lavender & Cloves.
  2. Wash dishes with Lemony – Verbena Soft Touch, a dish detergent that is friendly to both your skin and the environment.
  3. Hydrate your hands thoroughly every time after washing dishes; try Organic Unrefined Cocoa Butter.

How to protect your complexion from winter dryness

In winter, the face is at risk of drying and cracking.

What can you do?

  1. Avoid antibacterial soaps or other ingredients that can strip sebum from the skin.
  2. Apply gentle exfoliants using a light massage.
  3. Humidify the indoor air – place a bowl of water near a radiator.
  4. Care for your skin with the Repairing and Restorative Face Elixir and the Nourishing Day Cream with hyaluronic acid, jojoba, and panthenol.
