The do and winter don’t

Wind, cold, harsh weather, poor diet, or low morale — in winter, our skin suffers. No point pretending otherwise: the complexion is often paler, and it can seem hard to look healthy. But are you sure you're using the right steps to protect your skin and look healthy? We've put together a short list of the winter's Do and Don'ts to adopt for your beauty routine.

Winter do's

Keeping skin well hydrated

Do you think that in winter your skin needs less hydration than in summer? Wrong! Maintaining a good hydrolipidic film is essential to avoid weakening the skin barrier.

In fact, 3 do's in your beauty routine are essential: exfoliate, hydrate, and nourish. While the first step is essential for removing all the dead skin cells, hydration is just as important. So, to give you all the softness you need, TdeM offers exfoliating sets or gentle scrubs that you can use regularly thanks to a suitable formula. Afterwards, applying the Résilience face cream will help hydrate, plump, and protect your skin.

Nourishing your skin

Nourishing the skin is obviously one of the winter do's. In fact, nourishing your skin with oily active ingredients helps strengthen its skin barrier. Once this skin barrier is formed, it becomes easier for your skin to retain water and, as a result, stay hydrated much longer.

Eating a healthy diet

Yes, the beauty of your skin also starts with your diet. It can never be said enough: a balanced diet provides all the nutrients and vitamins needed for your cells to stay healthy. And don't forget to also favor foods rich in antioxidants.

Winter don'ts

Adopt a good cleansing routine

One of the first winter don'ts is over-stripping your skin. Since skin is drier because of the wind and cold, it is essential not to use a product that is too harsh. A good cleansing routine would therefore mean choosing foaming products containing ceramides. You can also opt for nourishing milks enriched with Aloe Vera, for example, which help renew cells.

Watch out for heating

Those of us who feel the cold most keenly will probably think differently, but be careful not to overheat your home. Too much heating releases dry air, which will draw moisture from our skin and cause fine lines and tightness.

Do not take showers or baths that are too hot

How nice it is to slip into a very hot bath or a steamy shower when it's freezing outside. Except that this is very bad for the skin. Just like heating, it dehydrates the skin. Unless you use a gel enriched with Aloe Vera that will nourish your skin. There you have it: with these few simple beauty tips to adopt, or by avoiding a few mistakes, you should be able to get through winter with healthy skin. Don't hesitate to check the list of active ingredients in TdeM products to find the ones that suit you best.
