Why should I use oil in my skincare in the winter?
Winter affects the skin in several ways. The cold, dry air and indoor heat create an environment that easily dries out the skin, which can lead to tightness, irritation and, in the worst case, eczema. Me Anima recommends a skin care oil that helps protect the skin barrier, maintain the skin's own moisture and make it soft and supple.
How winter affects your skin
- Cold wind : Dries out the skin and can cause redness and cold spots.
- Dry air both inside and outside : Makes it more difficult for the skin to maintain its natural moisture balance.
- Dry and itchy patches : Can develop into eczema if the skin does not get enough moisture and oil.
- Skin imbalance : Both dry and oily skin can become more sensitive and prone to irritation.
By preventing and protecting your skin with the right products, you can avoid these problems and maintain healthy skin all winter long.
Skincare oil – moisture and fat for balanced skin
Skin balance is crucial to staying healthy. Me Anima's organic and vegan skincare products contain nourishing fatty acids and essential oils that protect the skin from dehydration and give it a natural glow.
Oily skin may need oil : Although oily skin produces more sebum, it can become dry on the surface in the winter, which can cause imbalances and acne breakouts. A lightweight facial oil with the right fatty acids can help balance sebum production and prevent the skin from becoming too dry on the surface.
Me Anima's tips for daily winter routines
Drink plenty of water – Helps hydrate the skin from within.
Eat healthy fats – Fatty fish, nuts, avocados and cold-pressed oils benefit skin health.
Move – Exercise helps increase blood circulation and promotes oxygenation of the skin.
Body care during winter
- Dry brush your skin at least 1-2 times a week to stimulate circulation and remove dead skin cells.
- Avoid long, hot showers – Hot water can dry out your skin. Take shorter showers and use oil in your bath water to moisturize your skin.
- Apply to skin while it is damp to lock in moisture and provide maximum protection.
- Use organic oils with natural fatty acids and vitamins that protect and strengthen the skin barrier.
