Surely, like the rest of the world, you flew through 2020 and suddenly found yourself in the winter period. The winter season, although it has its own special charm, also brings many troubles for our skin.

During the winter, many factors "work against you" without you even realizing it.

Cold air and strong winds cause moisture loss from your skin, and on the other hand, hot showers and heating your home encourage faster water evaporation, which generally contributes to dry, cracked, and irritated skin.

HOW TO FINISH THIS?

With a little lifestyle adjustment and quality cosmetic products.

AVOID LONG AND HOT SHOWERS/BATHS

While a hot bath sounds perfect on cold winter days, in reality it breaks down the skin barrier. Hot water dries out and further irritates the skin by stripping it of its natural moisturizing factors.

To avoid this, take a quick shower with lukewarm water, then generously nourish your skin with body lotion!

LAYER ON LAYER AND A FEW MORE WORDS CREAM

Your skin needs more hydration than usual right now, so help by using richer moisturizers, serums, and oils. Layering creates a protective layer on your skin, which locks in moisture and makes it harder for your skin to dry out. If your routine consists only of a face cream, now is the perfect time to finish it off with a hydrating serum or nourishing oil.

If you are one of those who still enjoy light gel textures, and you are already armed with excellent serums, for winter choose a cream with more nourishing ingredients like shea butter, jojoba or avocado oil, etc.

Regardless of preferences, a fantastic choice for any winter skincare routine is definitely L'ADRIA Regenerative cream !

COMMIT TO HYDRATION

Keeping your skin hydrated should be the main motto of your winter skincare routine! Invest in a quality hyaluronic acid serum like L'ADRIA Instant revitalizing serum , and don't forget to drink enough water every day.

It is also recommended to use a humidifier in the rooms you stay in to reduce the drying effect of heating and indoor spaces in winter.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE SKIN OF YOUR LIPS

Lips are often not at the top of the list of care priorities, but in winter they really should be, as they are on the front lines of all the wonders, but also the troubles, of winter weather.

Along with lip balm, use a gentle exfoliator at least once a week to keep your lips nourished and protected and complement the well-nourished skin on your face.

SPF? IN WINTER?? RIGHT!

Sun protection is certainly not one of your associations with winter, but even though we don't actually see the sun or feel its pleasant warmth, we are by no means protected from its influence.

Summer and the sea may be a few months away, but the sun's rays don't go on vacation and pose a constant risk to your skin.

Believe it or not, UV rays are actually most dangerous in winter, when our alertness is at its lowest, and the beautiful white snow, which gives us so much winter joy, also reflects the sun's rays, which increases their harmful effects on our skin.

Additionally, if you have problems with acne and hyperpigmentation , you should not skip sunscreen at any time of the year as it can help you maintain an even complexion.

STAY HYDRATE AND ACTIVE

In a year full of self-isolation and quarantine, as well as other unexpected events, motivation for anything, especially exercise and healthy living, is probably hiding somewhere at the bottom of the pile of all the clothes we haven't had a chance to walk through.

Add in low temperatures and dreary winter weather - a blanket and cocoa in front of the TV just seems like the most logical choice.

But it is precisely at those moments, as unattractive as it may seem, regular exercise, even in the "do-it-yourself gym" version, and sufficient intake of water and nutrients can greatly ease the long winter days. Exercise stimulates circulation and increases the secretion of endorphins, which positively affects the general condition of the body and your energy level.

Since they say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, the skin can be considered a mirror of our physical condition and lifestyle... invest a little effort and willpower in good habits, and your skin will surely reward you for it and shine. in its most beautiful form!
