3 Skincare Mistakes to Avoid This Winter

Winter is a season of cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and frosty mornings. But for your skin, it can be a challenging time. As temperatures drop and indoor heating rises, your skin faces the dual challenges of dryness and irritation.

Many people unknowingly sabotage their skin's health by making common mistakes during this season.

Let’s uncover three common winter skincare mistakes and learn how to avoid them for a glowing, healthy complexion. Plus, we’ll introduce two luxurious products that can transform your winter skincare routine.

1. Skipping Moisturiser or Using the Wrong One

One of the biggest winter skincare faux pas is neglecting proper moisturization. Many assume that a summer moisturiser will suffice year-round, but winter demands a richer, more hydrating formula to counteract the season's drying effects. Lightweight lotions may not provide the deep nourishment your skin craves in colder months.

Our Prebiotische vochtinbrengende crème is a winter must-have. This powerhouse blend features a prebiotic complex that helps maintain the skin’s natural microbiome, fortifying its barrier against external aggressors. Infused with rosehip oil and rose oil, it delivers intense hydration while soothing and revitalising the skin.

Unlike heavier creams that can feel greasy, the Prebiotische vochtinbrengende crème absorbs beautifully, leaving your skin soft, plump, and radiant. It’s perfect for daily use and ensures that your skin remains protected and well-nourished all winter long.

2. Overdoing Hot Showers and Harsh Cleansers

There’s nothing quite like a steaming shower on a chilly day, but prolonged exposure to hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

Pair this with harsh cleansers, and you’ve got a recipe for compromised skin health.

Winter is the time to be gentle with your skin—opt for lukewarm showers and nourishing, sulfate-free cleansers that respect your skin’s natural barrier.

Once out of the shower, pat your skin dry (instead of rubbing) and apply your moisturiser immediately while your skin is still slightly damp.

This locks in hydration and ensures that your skin stays supple.

Regular use of the Prebiotische vochtinbrengende crème after cleansing with the gentle Hydraterende reiniger can help counteract the drying effects of hot showers, keeping your skin balanced and happy.

3. Ignoring the Need for Active Ingredients

While hydration is crucial, winter skincare shouldn’t stop there.

Many people overlook the importance of active ingredients during the colder months, thinking they’re only necessary in warmer weather. But the reality is, winter is an excellent time to repair and rejuvenate your skin with targeted treatments.

Enter the Rose Youth Elixir. Packed with potent yet gentle ingredients like bakuchiol—a natural alternative to retinol—this elixir is perfect for enhancing your skin’s texture and tone without causing irritation.

Rose oil adds a touch of luxury while providing anti-inflammatory benefits, and hyaluronic acid delivers a surge of moisture to keep your skin plump and hydrated.

Together, these ingredients create a perfect trifecta to combat winter dullness, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and restore your skin’s natural glow.

Use the Rose Youth Elixir as part of your nighttime routine for best results. Its lightweight texture ensures it layers seamlessly under your moisturiser, making it an easy addition to your skincare lineup.

Bonus Tips for Winter Skin Care

• Hydrate from Within: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

• Protect Against UV Rays: Don’t ditch the sunscreen! UV rays can still damage your skin in winter, especially when reflected off snow.

• Use a Humidifier: Combat the drying effects of indoor heating by adding moisture to the air with a humidifier.

Winter doesn’t have to be synonymous with dry, lackluster skin.

By avoiding these common mistakes—skipping moisturizer, overdoing hot showers and harsh cleansers, and neglecting active ingredients—you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing throughout the season.

Incorporate the Prebiotische vochtinbrengende crème and Rose Youth Elixir into your routine, and experience the transformative power of thoughtfully formulated skincare. Your skin will thank you!
