Skin care in February

Morning skin care

1. Skin cleansing
Use a gentle cleansing gel, foam, cream or lotion that does not strip the skin of its natural oils. Avoid products containing alcohol, which can dry out the skin even more. https://www.temperancesk.com/cleansing-milk-and-oil/  https://www.temperancesk.com/cleansing-foam-and-gel/

2. Toning
Tonic/Toner/Skin - helps restore the pH of the skin, balances it and prepares it for further absorption of active substances from other products - for further basic skin care. Choose an alcohol-free hydrating or soothing toner. https://www.temperancesk.com/skin-toner/

3. Serum
Use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture, while vitamin C protects against free radicals and evens skin tone. https://www.temperancesk.com/serum-and-essence/

4. Eye cream
Apply a small amount of eye cream to hydrate and reduce puffiness or dark circles. https://www.temperancesk.com/eye-cream/

5. Day cream
Apply a nourishing and moisturizing day cream with ingredients such as shea butter, ceramides or glycerin. If you have oilier skin, choose a lighter gel cream or skin emulsion, which is loaded with the same active ingredients as the cream, but in a lighter form - i.e. more suitable for mixed or oily skin. https://www.temperancesk.com/cream-and-emulsion/

6. Protection factor (SPF)
Even in winter, it is important to protect the skin from UV radiation. Use a day cream or standalone product with SPF 30 or higher. UV radiation can cause premature skin aging even on cloudy days. https://www.temperancesk.com/spf/

Evening care

1. Makeup removal and cleaning
If you use makeup or SPF, start with a two-step cleanse:

• Two-phase makeup remover oil. https://www.temperancesk.com/ottie-makeup-remover/ or https://www.temperancesk.com/cica-and-ceramide-cleansing-oil/
• Gentle cleansing gel or foam. https://www.temperancesk.com/cleansing-foam-and-gel/

2. Exfoliation (1-2 times a week)
Use a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant with AHA/BHA/PHA acids to remove dead cells. In winter, do not overdo the exfoliation, so as not to weaken the skin's protective barrier. https://www.temperancesk.com/peeling/

3. Tonic
As in the morning, apply a hydrating or regenerating tonic. https://www.temperancesk.com/skin-toner/

4. Serum or essences
In the evening, you can use a serum with collagen, vitamins, nutrients (anti-aging) or peptides (for regeneration, cell renewal and strengthening). If the skin is delicate, thin and prone to various skin reactivities, choose a soothing serum with centela. https://www.temperancesk.com/serum-and-essence/

5. Night cream or oil
Finally, apply a thicker night cream that will support skin regeneration during sleep. https://www.temperancesk.com/estheroce-eclair-de-blanc-facial-oil/

Additional tips:

• Hydration of the body: Drink enough water even during the winter to keep the skin hydrated from the inside.
• Humidifier: Dry air from heating can irritate the skin. Use a humidifier indoors.
• Masks (1-2 times a week): Use moisturizing facial masks containing hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, seaweed or oils.
• Nutrition: Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fish, nuts, seeds) and vitamins A, C, and E, which support skin health.
