Winter: the perfect time to take care of your sensitive skin 🧡

With winter approaching, temperature changes and drier air can challenge sensitive skin: redness, dryness, ingrown hairs, and post shaving irritations are some of the most common issues during this season! 

Discover our tips and the best ingredients and products to protect sensitive skin in winter.

What is sensitive skin?

Let’s start with the basics: sensitive skin is a skin condition where the protective barrier is more fragile, making the skin more reactive to external factors like low temperatures, wind, or certain ingredients in cosmetic products. It often manifests as redness, dryness, itching, or a tight feeling.

Why is skin drier in winter?

The colder, less humid air in winter, combined with indoor heating, strips the skin of its natural moisture. This can cause dehydration, dryness, and increased skin sensitivity.

What should you use for sensitive skin?

Choosing the right products makes all the difference, especially for sensitive skin. 

To take care of it properly, opt for gentle products without alcohol or artificial fragrances that respect the skin’s barrier.

What are the best ingredients for sensitive skin in winter?

Choose products with gentle and hydrating ingredients. During winter, focus on nourishing, protective, and soothing ingredients.

Here’s a list of must-haves for your body-care routine:

• Hyaluronic Acid: The hydration superhero. It attracts and retains moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and leaving it soft and plump. Perfect for combating the dry air typical of this season.
• Bisabolol: Extracted from chamomile, this soothing ingredient is ideal for reducing redness and irritation, making it a perfect ally for sensitive skin in winter.
• Calendula Extract: With emollient and soothing properties, it helps reduce inflammation and calm irritated skin, especially useful during seasonal transitions.

With the right sensitive skin routine and a few simple steps, you can keep your skin soft, hydrated, and protected.

Here are our 3 tips to take care of sensitive skin in winter:

A few easy steps can transform your winter routine into a pampering ritual for your skin, keeping it healthy, soft and radiant even on the chilliest days:

1. Choose the right products and take care of your skin barrier ✨

The transition from summer to winter can make skin more vulnerable, so it’s important to avoid overly harsh products. Choose products that act gently and are designed to respect the skin’s barrier. This doesn’t mean you have to skip exfoliation: just pick the right products.

💡 How to exfoliate sensitive skin?

Use a gentle scrub about twice a week, as exfoliated skin absorbs hydrating products better and helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Milky Scrub, for example, is formulated to remove dead skin cells while respecting sensitive skin, acting gently without stressing the skin.

When massaged onto dry skin and rinsed, the gel transforms into a velvety milk that envelops the skin, exfoliating and hydrating it at the same time thanks to Hyaluronic Acid.

2. Intense hydration to fight dryness 🧴

With the cold weather, sensitive skin tends to dry out more easily. To prevent irritation and redness, deep hydration is essential.

💡 How to hydrate sensitive skin?

Choose products with delicate textures, like the body cream Slow It Down.

Apply it daily for soft, hydrated skin — it absorbs quickly and nourishes the skin with calendula extract, while also slowing hair regrowth thanks to Gymnema Sylvestre extract.

3. Protect your skin from cold and temperature changes 🌬️

The shift from wind and cold outdoors to heated indoor environments can irritate sensitive skin, causing redness and dehydration. To protect it, use soothing and calming products.

💡 How to treat dry, sensitive skin?

During these times, Hoily Drops oil is the best solution: apply a few drops to areas prone to irritation and redness, or after shaving to prevent post-shaving irritation. 

With ingredients like Tea Tree oil, Tamanu oil, and Bisabolol, it has a calming effect and can be used all over the body, including the face and intimate areas.

Taking care of sensitive skin in winter is important!

Sensitive skin requires special attention, especially during transitional periods like winter. Adopting a suitable winter body care routine will help you prevent discomfort and keep your skin healthy and radiant.

With the right products and a bit of care, you can face winter worry-free, turning body care into a special moment for yourself! By following these simple tips, you’ll be able to protect and nourish your skin with love and gentleness 🧸
