Before winter arrives, your skin needs intense nourishment. Discover our expert tips to keep your skin protected, comfortable, and radiant despite the cold.
Winter: A Harsh Season for the Skin
When temperatures drop, your skin experiences real environmental stress. Cold weather, wind, indoor heating, and pollution all weaken its protective barrier.
The result? Tightness, redness, dryness, and discomfort soon appear.
To avoid these issues, it’s crucial to anticipate and prepare your skin before winter so it stays supple, hydrated, and balanced throughout the cold season.
Your Skin’s Nutritional Needs in Winter
Your skin is a living organ with a vital protective role. To stay healthy, it needs a balance of water, lipids, and essential nutrients.
When the temperatures drops:
-
Sebum production slows down
-
The hydrolipidic barrier becomes thinner
-
Transepidermal water loss increases
Without the right care, the epidermis becomes dehydrated, dull, and more vulnerable to external aggressions.
Intense Nutrition: Why and How?
Nourishing your skin before winter strengthens its natural defenses and prepares it to face climate variations.
A targeted nutrition routine helps to:
-
Reinforce the skin barrier — your natural protective shield
-
Prevent dehydration and maintain optimal hydration levels
-
Provide comfort and suppleness, reducing tightness
-
Stimulate cell regeneration for revitalized, radiant skin
Our Beauty Tips to Prepare for Winter
1. Hydrate and Nourish Regularly
Morning and evening, apply a cream or serum rich in hydrating and lipid-replenishing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or plant oils). These actives work in synergy to maintain the skin’s balance.
2. Target Sensitive Areas
Cheeks, lips, and hands are especially exposed to the cold. Give them special attention with a richer cream or protective balm to prevent irritation.
3. Add a Nourishing Mask
Once or twice a week, treat your skin to an intense nutrition bath with a repairing mask.
For example Pier Augé's Douce Aura Mask hydrates, soothes, and envelops the skin in a cocoon of softness thanks to its melting texture and lipid-replenishing actives.
4. Choose Textures Suited to the Season
Swap light summer lotions for rich creams or oils . Enriched with natural lipids, they restore the skin barrier and deliver lasting comfort.
From Autumn to Winter: The Ideal Beauty Routine
-
Morning : gentle cleanser → hydrating serum → nourishing cream → light SPF (yes, even in winter!)
-
Evening : gentle makeup remover → rich oil or cream → targeted eye care
-
Weekly : gentle exfoliation + nourishing mask
Nourishing Your Skin Before Winter Is Not a Luxury — It’s a Necessity
This is both a preventive and scientific gesture: it protects the skin barrier, soothes sensitivities, and prepares the epidermis to face the cold.
By anticipating its needs, your skin stays comfortable, radiant, and resilient all winter long.
