How to take care of your skin on frosty days? Discover the secrets of winter skincare.

1. Deep hydration as the foundation of winter skincare:

• Frosty air is dry, and indoor heating during winter further reduces humidity. Skin loses a dangerous amount of water through transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leading to severe dryness, roughness and flaking.
• Choose intensely hydrating creams rich in nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamin E, natural plant oils, or ceramides to support your sensitive skin during this challenging season. For daytime use, opt for richer creams to protect your skin from frost, and at night, use regenerating products to rebuild the hydrolipid barrier.

2. Protection from cold and wind

• On frosty days, don't forget to protect against harmful external factors. Invest in a protective cream with lipids to create a barrier against wind and low temperatures. Ingredients such as panthenol and allantoin effectively soothe irritations.
• Our ointment AArkada is specifically designed for dry and irritated skin suffering from dehydration. The ointment's formula is based on natural oils and protects the skin from frost and strong winds, bacteria, and fungi.

3. Take care of your skin by nourishing your body from within

• Hydrating your skin shouldn't stop at applying creams – drinking plenty of water is equally important.
• Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, strengthening the skin's natural protective barrier and stimulating collagen production, making it look younger. Additionally, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in omega-3 has strong anti-inflammatory properties, soothing irritations and redness caused by harsh weather conditions.
• Our vegan body butter from the Naturro line boasts high omega-3 and omega-8 acids, shea butter, natural oils, and vitamins. It creates a protective layer on the skin, protecting against extremely low temperatures, strong winds, and other harmful external factors.

4. Gentle cleansing

• Opt for gentle cleansing products in winter that do not disrupt the skin's hydrolipid barrier. Avoid soaps and gels with strong detergents, which can cause tightness, redness, and weakened skin.
• Instead, choose milder formulas, such as cleansing milk, makeup removal oils, or micellar gels, which gently yet effectively remove impurities.
• Also, pay attention to the ingredients. Look for products enriched with soothing components, such as aloe vera, panthenol, or plant extracts ,to keep your skin nourished, soft, and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine.

5. Sun protection – even in winter

• Although winter sunlight may seem harmless, UV radiation still reaches the skin, emainlywhen sunlight reflects off the snow.
• SPF cream is an absolute must, regardless of the season. Regular use helps prevent premature aging and discoloration and, most importantly, reduces the risk of skin cancer.

6. Lip and hand care

• Lips and hands are particularly vulnerable to cold weather. Use protective lip balms (butter) containing beeswax, lanolin, and vitamin E, as well as hand creams with regenerating ingredients such as shea butter, sodium hyaluronate, or natural oils. At night, a thicker layer of product is applied for intense regeneration.
• Our hyaluronic hand mask is So Rose! So Gold! is a luxurious solution for dry hands and cracked cuticles. The So Rose! So Gold! line also includes a scrub, hand serum, and cuticle butter to provide comprehensive care for smooth hands.

7. Regular exfoliation and masks

• Don't forget about regular exfoliation in winter to remove dead skin cells and better absorb active ingredients. Once a week, use a gentle enzyme or fine-grain scrub.
• Try our body scrub Orange Caress for dry and sensitive skin, leaving your skin firmer and more toned. This vegan product contains natural active substances for hydration and anti-aging effects.
• After exfoliating, apply a nourishing mask or gel to intensely hydrate and soothe, containing ingredients like aloe vera, honey, or collagen.

8. Enhance your routine with mists and oils.

• During the day, refresh your skin with hydrating mists containing vitamins and minerals. Add oils to your routine in the evening – use them alone or as a cream enhancer.
• Perfumed body mist from the So Rose! So Gold! line is our top choice for finishing your skincare ritual with a subtle floral-fruity scent. Make cold days more pleasant with delicate mandarin, peach, rose, patchouli, and vanilla notes.
