Winter Skin Care
Pamper your skin even in the depths of winter!
The Holiday Season is over, and we've already entered 2023. It's often difficult to face the long winter months and the often-depressing start of the year.
To still have a good time despite everything, what better way than to take care of yourself? Ongles d’Or specializes in nail products, but did you know that the store also offers a selection of products for the body, hands, and feet? Ongles d’Or has thought of you and prepared a list of tips and tricks to take care of your skin in winter…
Nourish and hydrate your skin
The first point is undoubtedly the most obvious: to protect your skin, you hydrate it! It's important to differentiate between nutrition and hydration. Dehydrated skin needs water, while dry skin needs oil. So, hydrate from within by drinking enough water daily.
Then determine the type of product your skin needs. Skin that needs nourishment will have dry patches, eczema, and will be itchy. Skin that needs hydration will be rather tight, uncomfortable, and may cause redness. A hydrating product will often be lighter and more liquid than a nourishing product. To maximize the effects of the products you use, take a look at the ingredients: hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vegetable oils will be your best allies!
Often, the skin on our face is similar to that of our body; if you have combination or oily skin, your body will probably need light hydration. If you have drier and more sensitive skin, you will need to nourish it.

Gentle exfoliation
To eliminate dead skin cells and promote cell renewal, it's important to exfoliate your skin gently and regularly. We advise you not to exceed one scrub per week to avoid irritating or weakening your skin. And most importantly, after each exfoliation, protect your skin with a cream or body butter!
Adopt good habits
To avoid weakening your skin, make sure to adapt your daily habits. Don't rub your skin with a towel when you get out of the shower; instead, pat and press the towel against your skin.
When buying clothes, choose fabrics and woolens that are not irritating. Wool or cotton are softer and allow the skin to breathe, compared to synthetic materials like acrylic or viscose.
Finally, if you have sensitive or atopic skin, limit products containing fragrance (especially shower gels); fragrances tend to irritate and dry out the skin.
Don't neglect sun protection
We often think, incorrectly, that our skin only needs sun protection in summer. Yet the sun is the same all year round. Even if it's cold, the sun's rays can damage and sensitize your skin. If you plan a day outdoors, skiing, or winter sports, don't forget to apply sun protection.
You are now fully prepared to face winter and the cold, or at least your skin is!
