The winter routine of Les Petits Prödiges

Winter is already well underway, and with it come temperatures that make us shiver. But while we're prepared to bring out our down jackets and mittens for ski season, we tend to neglect our skin, which is put to the test by the cold!

Don't panic, at Les Petits Prödiges, we've put together a list of 10 tips for taking care of your skin in winter!

1. The essential: nourish, nourish!

With the cold, the skin dries out faster and needs more nourishment. Opt for a more moisturizing cream or an oily balm that will help cells regenerate. Small tip: apply them by massaging, this will promote microcirculation and offer you a moment of relaxation.

2. Change your make-up removal routine

Classic micellar waters will tend to further attack already weakened skin. So, turn to milk or make-up remover balms, which are gentler and will take care of your skin. They contain moisturizing agents and vitamin E for protected and hydrated skin.

3. Don't forget the sunscreen

Just because we see less sun doesn't mean it's not there! And its rays continue to damage your skin. Small tip: choose a day cream containing UV protection!

4. Protect your lips

Cold means chapped lips. So don't hesitate to spread nourishing balm on your lips all day long! Small tip: for the more elegant among you who prefer lipstick, opt for melting and moisturizing textures that won't dry out your lips.

5. Don't be afraid to exfoliate!

In winter, we tend to exfoliate our skin less to avoid weakening it. But a weekly scrub will get rid of dead cells and allow your products to penetrate more easily (which will increase their effectiveness). Small tip: Choose a gentle scrub, and don't overdo it to avoid sensitizing your skin.

6. Do masks

For optimal hydration, do an ultra-hydrating and nourishing mask once a week. Your skin will no longer be dry and tight, you will see the effect instantly! Small tip: do your mask right after exfoliation to maximize its effectiveness.

Even if your face is the most exposed to the cold, don't neglect the rest of your body!

7. Take care of your hands

Your hands are also weakened by seasonal bad weather. Remember to apply hand cream every day!

8. Forget water that's too hot

We know that when it's cold, the temptation to take refuge in a bath or under a burning hot shower is great. But water that's too hot dries out the skin and hair... not ideal! So resist and cuddle up with a hot water bottle or under a soft blanket to warm up instead.

9. Drink... a lot!

The cold doesn't make us want to drink. However, it dehydrates, and hydrated skin also depends on the water you drink. About 8 glasses of water a day are recommended. Small tip: Treat yourself and warm up with herbal teas and teas!

10. Care from root to tip

Taking care of your hair in winter is as important as taking care of your skin. Turn to moisturizing shampoos, and don't hesitate to apply a mask or a balm to your lengths and ends.
