The biting frost may have eased for now, but a long winter still lies ahead. How can you make sure your face keeps its glow by the end of the season and withstands both the cold outdoor air and the dryness indoors?

Constant temperature changes are quite a challenge for our skin. Dry, rough, and irritated skin is a common problem, especially during winter. Here are some tips on how to take care of your facial skin during the colder months:

1. Gentle cleansing

Always use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils. Avoid washing your face with very hot water, as it can dry out your skin. Berrichi Cleansing Foam is gentle on the skin and suitable for daily use by both teenagers and adults. It helps remove makeup and impurities that accumulate on the face throughout the day while soothing irritated skin.

2. Hydration

Use a moisturizing face cream. During winter, it can even be richer than usual to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. However, a winter face cream doesn’t have to be thick in texture — what matters most is that it contains the right ingredients to moisturize and soothe the skin.

Apply your cream twice a day — in the morning and in the evening. It’s important to apply your face cream at least 30 minutes before going outside so it has time to absorb properly. PS! Don’t forget to moisturize your neck and décolleté as well.

3. SPF protection

Even if it seems like the sun isn’t shining, UV rays are still present on cloudy days, and because snow reflects sunlight, actual sun exposure can be quite strong. That’s why it’s important to use sun protection even in winter — to keep your skin safe.

4. Exfoliate your skin

You should exfoliate your skin once a week. Be sure to use a facial scrub specifically designed for the face to avoid irritating your skin. Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and speeds up the skin’s renewal process, leaving your complexion soft and smooth.

5. Protect your skin from the cold

When going outside in cold weather, cover your face with a scarf or high collar to protect your skin from frost damage.

6. Extra protection for your cheeks

Since the cheeks are especially delicate and need extra protection against the cold, you can apply a thin layer of Berrichi lip balm to them before going outside. Because it contains no water, it won’t freeze outdoors and will provide the sensitive area with the necessary protection and hydration. Once you’re back indoors, you can gently blot off the balm with a tissue.

7. Protect your lips too

The cold can be harsh on your lips as well. So, make sure to apply lip balm before going outside to prevent chapping and keep your lips soft and smooth.

Stressed skin needs relaxation and care. That’s why it’s a great idea to visit a beautician or make a small change in your beauty routine. How about a gua sha stone facial massage? It’s something anyone can easily do at home, yet the results feel like you’ve just stepped out of a professional facial treatment. So relaxing and pleasant. Will you give it a try?

By following these simple tips, you can help your skin maintain the necessary moisture balance and protect it from cold damage. This way, you’ll keep your complexion healthy and radiant throughout the winter season.
