7 Winter Skincare Tips You Should Know with Christine Legrand

Step 2: Face Cream

Depending on your skin type, you might want to choose slightly richer textures for the winter months. You should apply it morning and evening every day: in the morning to protect and in the evening to regenerate.

You can use a day and a night cream or use the same cream for both. Our Cell Shock Luxe-Lift Rich Cream is a fantastic moisturizer for colder, dryer weather. 

Step 3: Eye Zone

Take extra care of your eyes as the skin here is thinner and has little to no oil glands to protect itself. Use serums and eye contour that soothe and protect the skin. You can also use eye masks to soothe and care for the eye contour.

Swissline offers a product called Cellular Eye Mask Complex that works wonders on the devitalized and tired eye contour. It will help to regenerate, soothe, and calm the eye area while providing a lifting effect and working on dark circles and puffiness. A must-have!

Step 4: Skin Cleansing

To avoid disturbing the NMF, we should limit the face cleansing to only once per day, in the evening. In winter, we should favor the use of mild products like cleansing milk, cream or oil, respecting our skin type of course; together with a gentle toner. Pro Tip: Avoid using products with exfoliating particles and favor those that have an enzymatic action in order to avoid sensitizing the skin further. 

Step 5: Masks

This is the cocooning moment for your skin! And let's be honest, one of the more enjoyable skincare rituals.

In winter the skin is dehydrated and irritated because the humidity level in the air decreases. You should ideally do a mask every week or more if you feel that your skin “asks” for it.

How to know when it’s needed? It's easy, if you experience discomfort throughout the day or more than usual after cleansing your skin, you need to apply a mask. Explore Swissline's face masks.

Step 6: Don't forget the sunscreen!

Sun exposure, at any time of the year, can lead to pigmentation issues, wrinkles, loss of collagen, and skin cancer. Even though the UVB rays are stronger in the summer, they don’t disappear in the winter.

Wearing an SPF every day will allow scars and hyperpigmentation the chance to heal and lighten. Swissline understood that and our sunscreens are the only two products that aren’t made in Switzerland but in Japan! You will feel the difference!

Step 7: Last but not least, Hand Cream

Usually, this is the part of our body that gives away our age.

We should really take extra care of our hands during winter and even more so at the moment with all the alcohol-rich sanitizers that we are using more frequently due to Covid-19. Apply a good moisturizer every time you wash your hands or at least in the evening before going to bed.

At Swissline, our Make Peace Hand Balm will be your friend! It has a gel balm texture and works as a second skin.
