OUR WINTER BEAUTY PLAN

Cold, windy, unsightly... the winter weather is harsh for our skin, which tends to become dull, dry and sometimes itchy. Give your beauty regimen a boost and follow our tips to give your skin the extra care it needs and to keep it glowing all season long!

Dress For Success

COVER UP COVER UP

COVER UP

First of all, wrap up warmly to protect skin and ensure proper blood circulation; get used to wearing a scarf and gloves. Apply a rich hand cream before going out, such as the Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm, and cover your hands to ensure good penetration into the skin. Besides, avoid being exposed to extreme temperatures and remember that dry heat inside takes its toll on delicate skin.

Sleeping Beauty

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SLEEP

Night is the time when your body rejuvenate sand recovers from external aggressions it suffered during the day. The ideal sleep time indeed differs from person to person, but your average should be around 7 or 8 hours every night.

Our Immortelle Reset gets your skin to a more receptive state, so it’s ready to welcome all the benefits of your skincare when your skin is working its hardest to renew itself.

For adequate sleep, make sure to create a peaceful atmosphere in your bedroom. You can also use our Relaxing Pillow Mist for a soothing sensation of well-being.

YOUR DIET IS ESSENTIAL

A healthy diet is essential in winter even more than the rest of the year. Sufficient vitamin C intake will not only boost your immune system, but also help your skin looking radiant by supporting the production of collagen and limiting cells aging, as it is a strong antioxidant. Pepper, parsley, kiwi, citruses, and more broadly fresh fruits and vegetables, you've got a choice! Omega-3 (which can be found in fatty fish, nuts, flaxseed, rapeseed oil...) also participate in making the skin smoother and more supple. 

Although we generally tend to drink less water in the winter, our body needs hydration; so don't forget to drink up. As cold beverages might seem less appealing, you can try warm water with lemon, or tea.

Be Gentle With Your Skin

ADAPT FOR SKINCARE ROUTINE

In winter, the air is dryer and tends to strip away the skin's hydration, that's why increased moisture and gentler products with natural ingredients are the main requirements. You may change your lotion to a cream, your powder foundation to a liquid one and swap your regular cleanser for a foaming or milk-based one (Cleansing Milk is one of our favourites). To boost efficacy and hydration, add an anti-ageing serum to your routine, before the cream. See below for our winter skincare recommendations.

Take shorter, lukewarm showers and avoid very hot water as it compromises your skin's lipid layer. Finely ground oats added to your bathwater will make wonders to relieve and soften itchy or irritated skin. They can also constitute a gentle exfoliant, perfect for the winter months.

Last but not least, moisturise regularly, right after you wash, on slightly damp skin. According to the degree of dryness of your skin, you may choose Shea Butter Ultra Light Body Cream or Ultra Rich Body Cream.
