The winter months bring cold temperatures and dry air that can put our skin under extreme stress. Right now is the right time to overhaul your beauty routine. And we have some proven tips for you that will protect your skin throughout the winter.
1. Switching to a thicker cream
Cold weather and dry air in overheated rooms can quickly dry out the skin. That’s why it’s a good idea to replace a light moisturizer during the winter months with a denser and more nutritious one that will provide your skin with intensive protection and lock in moisture at the same time. Look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid – for deep hydration, shea butter – to restore the skin barrier, ceramides – to strengthen the skin’s protective layer.

2. Exfoliation is the key
Even though it might seem that exfoliation in the winter unnecessarily burdens the skin, the opposite is true. Regular removal of dead skin cells helps better absorb moisturizing and nourishing products. We recommend gentle exfoliation preparations containing enzymes (e.g. from papaya or pineapple) or acids (e.g. lactic or mandelic acid).

3. Protect your skin with SPF even in winter
The sun’s rays, even those hidden behind clouds, can damage the skin at any time of the year. Don’t forget to apply SPF every morning to protect your skin from UV rays and premature aging.
4. The importance of two-phase cleaning
In winter, more impurities from the air tend to accumulate on the skin. Double cleansing, i.e. the use of an oil or gel product to remove make-up and SPF and the subsequent use of a gentle cleansing gel, ensures the perfect removal of all impurities.
5. Invest in a hydrating mask
Hydrating masks are an ideal addition to your winter routine. Use them 2-3 times a week to give the skin intensive renewal. Favorite ingredients – aloe vera for soothing, niacinamide – for a unified tone and avocado oil – for deep nourishment. The Biodance Viral Face Mask gets an 11/10 for us.

Extra tips for glowing skin:
-
Drink plenty of water: Hydration starts from within!
-
Use a humidifier: Heating dries out not only the air, but also the skin and mucous membranes. Add facial mists to your skin routine. They hydrate the skin perfectly.
-
Don’t forget your lips and hands: Hand balms and creams should be a matter of course and an essential part of your handbag, bathroom or bedside table.
- Apply cream or body oil immediately after showeringwhen the skin is damp, to maximize the effects.
