How to take care of your skin during the holidays?

Winter and especially the holiday season can be particularly harsh on the body and especially on the skin. Between the cold, the humidity, but also the excesses of the end of the year, the latter can be put to the test, which can affect its comfort and radiance. Fortunately, there are several ways to know how to take care of your skin in winter depending on your skin type and needs.

Enjoy a pretty complexion for the holidays!

Taking care of your skin before the holidays is a great way to get a glowing complexion! As soon as the first cold weather sets in, we move on to a winter routine that allows us to take care of our skin properly. What's more, a few days before the holidays, we can opt for a scrub to get an even more radiant complexion. We can also complete the whole thing with a mask depending on the needs of our skin.

These skin treatments can be done before the holidays, but also throughout the year, approximately once a week.

Why should you adapt your beauty routine to the season?

While it is essential to adapt your beauty routine according to your skin type, the season is also very important. These elements have a direct impact on the condition of the skin. This is notably the reason why we can have drier skin in winter, for example.

So, when wondering how to take care of your skin in winter, it is important to take into account that it is a winter skincare routine that you will have to adopt.

What are the effects of winter and the holiday season on the skin?

In winter, it is most often a problem of dry skin that we will have to face. Indeed, the drop in temperatures will tend to dry out and attack the skin. It can then tighten and become very uncomfortable. It is therefore essential to protect it from the first drops in temperature.

What's more, the holiday season can also have an impact on the beauty of your skin. If you tend to overindulge a little at the end of the year, this can also have consequences on your skin. Between fatigue, a very rich diet and sometimes excessive alcohol consumption, your skin can lose its radiance, become dull and imperfections can also appear. Since your lifestyle has a direct impact on the quality of your skin, this can therefore contribute to its change in appearance.

What routine should you adopt in winter?

To stay protected from the cold, the skin must therefore be nourished and hydrated. However, it is necessary to take into account your skin type and needs to choose the right care.

Pay special attention to makeup removal

Makeup removal is a very important step that allows you to get rid of makeup of course, but also of impurities accumulated on the skin throughout the day. Depending on your lifestyle and also your habits, you can therefore opt for makeup removal with milk or oil that you will add to a facial cleanse if necessary.

Massage the face

The time dedicated to taking care of your skin is also a very good opportunity to massage your face. This helps stimulate blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. Cleaning the skin, but also exfoliating or applying an oil can be a very good opportunity to practice a facial massage to take care of your skin. There are also accessories that can be used such as a roller or a gua sha for example that will stimulate blood circulation.

Use products adapted to the season and your skin’s needs

To take care of your skin in winter, it is generally recommended to opt for richer treatments than in summer.

What's more, the use of masks is particularly recommended in winter. They will nourish, hydrate and therefore protect the skin in depth against the cold.

Taking care of dry skin

To take care of dry skin, we rely on moisturizing and nourishing treatments. For the day, we can opt for a lighter day cream to avoid the greasy effect and to be able to apply makeup over it. However, the cream chosen must be sufficiently nourishing to avoid tightness during the day. For the evening, on the other hand, we can opt for something richer to leave on all night. The skin will be all the more supple when you wake up.

Taking care of your combination skin

To take care of combination skin, we focus on hydration. Here too, day care can be lighter than night care. This will help to gain comfort on the driest areas of the face. Sebum production should also be regulated with a more suitable routine, which will prevent certain parts of the face from shining. If this remains the case, there are mattifying products that can limit this effect.

Taking care of your oily skin

Most often, oily skin produces sebum to protect itself from aggressions. By opting for a serum, an oil or even a moisturizer , we should be able to limit the production of sebum. We therefore forget about stripping with overly powerful and drying cleansers which at the time seem to work, but which in fact have the opposite effect since the skin will tend to shine afterwards.

Taking care of your mature skin

Mature skin can be particularly sensitive to the cold. A moisturizing routine is recommended to provide more comfort when the skin is dry, limit the appearance of wrinkles and delay the effect of skin aging as much as possible.

Taking care of your blemished skin

For blemished skin, opt for a routine that moisturizes without being too rich by favoring non-comedogenic products. It is also particularly recommended to be careful of end-of-year excesses that could have direct repercussions on the beauty of the skin and lead to new imperfections.

You can also use a local treatment for imperfections and an anti-blemish serum to enjoy more even skin.

Taking care of your man's skin

Finally, men also have every interest in taking care of their skin in winter, but also throughout the year. To take care of men's skin, we will also adapt the routine according to the type of skin in question (dry, combination, oily, mature, etc.).
