Taking Care of Your Skin in Winter

How to Take Care of Your Skin in Winter: Plisson 1808 Tips

When temperatures drop, the skin is put to the test. Cold weather, wind, sudden temperature changes and indoor heating can weaken its natural balance. As a result, skin can become drier, less supple and may develop feelings of tightness or discomfort.

For men, this time of year calls for a few adjustments to their skincare routine, particularly to maintain skin comfort and reduce irritation caused by shaving.

Winter is therefore the perfect time to adapt your routine and choose skincare products that hydrate, nourish and soothe the skin. Discover Plisson 1808's tips for taking care of your face throughout the colder months.

1. Understanding the Effects of Cold Weather on Your Skin

In winter, the skin has to deal with several external aggressors. Cold weather and wind can weaken the skin barrier, while indoor heating contributes to drying out the surrounding air. As a result, the skin may lose its comfort and suppleness.

Certain signs are particularly common during this season: tightness after cleansing, redness, dry patches or an overall feeling of skin discomfort.

The face is particularly exposed to these temperature fluctuations. It is therefore important to give it special attention and choose products suited to its needs.

The first step is not to overload your routine with too many products, but rather to choose formulas that respect the skin and help maintain its hydration.

2. Maintain Skin Hydration to Prevent Tightness

Hydration is essential all year round, but it becomes particularly important in winter. Well-hydrated skin retains more suppleness and feels more comfortable when exposed to external aggressors.

To achieve this, choose a moisturising product suited to your skin type and apply it daily, preferably after cleansing your face.

The Plisson Facial Moisturising Fluid hydrates, nourishes and softens the skin thanks to a combination of Houseleek extract, Linseed Oil and Avocado Oil. Its lightweight texture is particularly suitable for men with normal to oily skin.

In winter, regularly applying a moisturising product helps reduce feelings of dryness and maintain soft, comfortable skin.

3. Adapt Your Shaving Routine to Your Skin's Needs in Winter

Shaving is part of many men's daily routines, but it can irritate the skin, particularly when it has already been weakened by cold weather. Repeated blade strokes can intensify discomfort and redness.

In winter, it is therefore best to pay extra attention to preparing the skin before shaving and caring for it afterwards.

Before you begin, take the time to prepare your face with a suitable shaving cream. It helps the blade glide smoothly and makes shaving more comfortable.

After shaving, apply a soothing skincare product to restore comfort and hydration. An aftershave balm therefore naturally becomes part of your winter skincare routine.

At Plisson, the art of traditional shaving is based on combining precise techniques with carefully selected skincare products. A ritual that allows you to care for your skin while turning shaving into a moment of relaxation and personal enjoyment.

4. Don't Neglect the Most Sensitive Areas of Your Face

Not all areas of the face react to cold in the same way. The eye contour, in particular, has particularly thin and delicate skin. As a result, signs of fatigue and temperature changes can be more noticeable in this area.

Applying a dedicated skincare product helps maintain comfort around the eyes while addressing the specific needs of this delicate area.

The Plisson Eye Contour Cream combines Avocado extracts, Prickly Pear Seed extracts and Houseleek to soften and soothe the skin. Specially formulated for men's skin, it helps nourish and hydrate the eye contour while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

A small amount is all you need: gently apply the product around the eyes morning and evening, without rubbing.

5. Choose Nourishing Skincare to Restore Comfort and Suppleness

When the skin lacks comfort, it can also lose its radiance and suppleness. Winter is therefore a good opportunity to provide it with additional care, particularly to address the first signs of ageing.

The Plisson Anti-Ageing Face Cream combines Rhodella Violacea Algae, Houseleek extract and natural Hyaluronic Acid. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, nourishes the skin and contributes to improving its elasticity.

It provides a feeling of comfort and leaves the face feeling soothed. It can therefore complement a daily skincare routine for men who want to look after their skin and maintain its appearance throughout the changing seasons.

6. Adopt the Right Daily Skincare Habits

Beyond the products you use, a few simple habits can help you take better care of your skin during winter.

Here are some habits to incorporate into your daily routine:

• Avoid water that is too hot: although it feels pleasant in winter, hot water can increase skin dryness. Use lukewarm water to cleanse your face instead.
• Dry your face gently: pat your skin dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing it.
• Moisturise your skin every day: apply your skincare product after cleansing, while your skin is clean.
• Adjust how often you exfoliate: exfoliating too frequently can irritate skin that is already weakened by cold weather. Use exfoliating products moderately, according to your skin's needs and tolerance.
• Don't forget sun protection: UV rays are still present in winter. Appropriate sun protection is particularly important on sunny days and when enjoying outdoor activities in the mountains.

These simple habits help maintain skin comfort and keep your routine suited to the demands of the colder months.
