Cold temperatures and the wind are your skin’s main enemies in the winter. They can cause dryness, redness and chapping. Blood vessels shrink with the cold and do not nourish properly. The lipids that hydrate and give elasticity to the skin are lacking.
How can you protect yourself? Cover up as much as possible, leaving only your eyes uncovered? No! Prepare your skin correctly by following these few tips.
1- Drink lots of water
From an early age we hear that drinking at least two liters of water a day is good for you. Might it be true? Well yes, drinking a lot of water is a cure-all, especially for our skin. So work hard and drink a lot. Tea, herbal tea … also regular consumption of fruit and vegetables will help you in this accomplishing this goal.
2- Avoid frequent showers
Who doesn’t love spending a lot of time under a hot shower in the winter when it’s cold? Maybe no one! But remember that long showers or baths can dry out your skin. Our advice is to slightly reduce the time spent in the shower and to dry yourself by gently patting the skin. Avoid vigorously rubbing it.
3- Use cleansing milk
Do not use cleansing gels with high alcohol content for deep cleansing treatments. The result will be dried out skin. Choose mild products such as our cleansing milk LAIT DE BEAUTÉ. is a fresh, velvety, and absolutely non-greasy! It gently and effectively removes all make-up residue. The formula is enriched with a selected synergy of moisturizing, soothing and antioxidant ingredients including hyaluronic acid, aloe, calendula and vitamin E.
4- Apply moisturizing creams
To prepare your skin for the winter cold, it is fundamental to use an excellent moisturizing and nourishing cream, even more so if your skin has wrinkles. LA CRÈME – TEXTURE RICHE by Gabor Cosmetics is a perfect choice as it pampers the skin with its rich and ultra-comforting texture. It is suitable for those of all ages, and in particular for those with skin that is dry and undernourished.

5- Hand cream
Hands exposed to the cold are also subject to annoying redness and cracking. A tired and fatigued face is not a great business card, nor are hands that have been dried out and red due to the cold! Gabor Cosmetics Laboratories have created your perfect ally: BAUME-CRÈME MAINS. It is a delicate non-greasy hand balm that is immediately absorbed.
