In winter, with the cold and abrupt temperature changes, our skin and hair suffer. However, this doesn't mean we have to give up their glow, luminosity, and, above all, their health. It's essential to adapt your care routines to the environmental conditions of the colder months to maintain a healthy appearance and prevent premature aging of your hair, face, or body. With these tips, winter care for your skin, scalp and hair, and you'll achieve healthy hair and radiant skin.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
As temperatures drop, outdoor humidity decreases, and the water content in our bodies is also reduced, you may notice your skin becoming very dry and flaky, and your hair appearing dull and dry. Therefore, during winter, it's essential to add a bit more hydration and nourishment than in other seasons.
If you have thick hair, you should take special care, as it is naturally prone to dryness. To enhance nutrition and prevent loss of luminosity in winter, consider using Sublime Gold.
For fine hair, on the other hand, you can use Platinum & Diamonds along with Glacial White Caviar Hydra Pure Precious Elixir (it doesn't add weight but provides that extra hydration needed in winter).
Additionally, if you have a dry scalp, pay close attention because it can become even drier in the cold, inhibiting sebaceous glands and leading to flakiness or follicle damage. Your ally collection to prevent scalp flaking, sensitivity, discomfort, or inflammation, to rebalance the hair microflora and deeply hydrate, will be Glacial White Caviar.
To keep your skin in optimal condition, it is essential to use a rich moisturizing cream. Our Glacial White Caviar Precious Cream uses white caviar extract, Daemonorops Draco extract, and a blend of bioceramides to repair the skin and provide deep hydration. It also protects against aging and external aggressions, making it the perfect cream for your winter skincare routine.
Internal hydration matters too
Our body is composed of 60% water, and this not only benefits us internally but also reflects externally. Drinking plenty of water helps keep our skin soft and supple, giving you a radiant glow and making you feel comfortable and healthy.
You can drink infusions and teas that provide comfort in the cold while offering ingredients that bring benefits and promote your well-being.
Incorporate gentle exfoliation into your rituals
Do you usually cover your hair with hats during winter? Be careful not to use them excessively, as your scalp can become suffocated and overly greasy.
Covering your head creates a microenvironment due to heat and vapors. The scalp has less capacity to oxygenate, hindering cell respiration, which can weaken follicles and lead to premature hair loss and other aging effects.
During this season, we also tend to spend more time in the city, exposing ourselves to pollution. Most likely, we use more styling products than in the summer. As a result, cells have reduced cellular respiration capacity, and more residues accumulate on the skin and scalp.
To address this, weekly scalp exfoliation is essential. Black Baccara Cellular Breathing Hair Multiplying Scrub Scalp Mask is the best choice in these cases. It promotes the growth cycle, detoxifies, and purifies deeply, resulting in stronger and more vigorous hair. Combine it with Black Baccara Cellular Breathing Hair Multiplying Intensive Shampoo to achieve good scalp oxygenation, detoxification, protection, and nourishment.
Maintaining a cleansing, toning, and exfoliating routine is also necessary to remove dead cells from the body and face skin. Try Black Baccara Dynamic Weekend Peel Booster, which contains AHAs, Fractionated Hyaluronic Acid, and Betaine Amino Acids to soften, hydrate, and reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and imperfections. Additionally, use Glacial White Caviar Regenerating Body Scrub, a body exfoliator that polishes the upper layers of the skin to eliminate dead cells, spots, pollution, and impurities. It promotes circulation, hydrates, and leaves the skin silky smooth.
It’s the perfect opportunity to perform specific treatments
As we tend to enter a winter 'mood' when the cold weather arrives and spend less time outdoors, it's the perfect time to focus on self-care and well-being.
The most crucial aspect during this season is to regenerate, densify, and recover strong and renewed hair after the typical fall shedding and before the months when the sun and UV rays have a more significant impact. Always tailor these treatments to your specific needs. Miriam's essentials to include in an optimal winter routine would be the Extreme Caviar Hair & Scalp Vitamin Infusion Ritual, which revitalizes, strengthens, and improves the follicles' regeneration capacity. Also, the Black Baccara Hair Multiplying Scalp Concentrate + Pre-Treatment Exfoliator, which boosts hair strength, regulates and stimulates its growth cycle, restores the natural balance of the scalp, and helps detoxify and protect against pollution or UV damage.
Winter care for your skin, scalp and hair has to be done with love. Adapt your routines to each season, apply UV protection on your face and hair, even if it's not sunny, whether it's raining or you're staying indoors. Make small changes, such as avoiding very hot water in the shower, minimizing the use of heat tools, and maintaining a diet rich in vitamins and nutrients.
