Taking care of your skin in winter with La Canopée products
Winter is a harsh season, sometimes for our morale, but also for our skin. Between the outside cold, icy wind, indoor heating, and sudden temperature changes, our epidermis is put to the test.
The result is dry patches, tightness, redness, and sometimes even chapping.
But rest assured, by adopting simple habits and using the right skincare, you can protect and pamper your skin throughout this period.
As with every season, it is important to adapt your beauty routine so that it best suits your skin's needs.
The impact of winter on our skin:
Cold and dry air have devastating effects on our skin. In winter, humidity levels drop drastically. Cold wind and low temperatures weaken our hydrolipidic film, the skin's protective barrier.
Composed of sebum and water, this film plays an essential role in preserving skin hydration. When it is impaired, the skin becomes more permeable to external aggressors.
Indoor heating makes the situation even worse. By drying out the ambient air, it promotes the evaporation of water contained in the skin, thus amplifying dehydration.
The cold slows down the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands, which diminishes the skin's protection. Sebum plays a protective role for the hydration and suppleness of our skin.
Finally, dehydrated skin renews itself less effectively. This disrupts the natural exfoliation cycle, leading to an accumulation of dead cells on the surface. The complexion then loses its radiance, becoming duller and more uneven.
But all these inconveniences are not inevitable!
Simply implement an adapted routine to preserve the suppleness, radiance, and comfort of your skin, even in the middle of winter.

Good cosmetic practices for winter:
Winter is the perfect time to adopt a richer and more enveloping skincare routine. Here are the essential steps to keep your skin beautiful and healthy.
Gently cleansing your skin
Proper cleansing is the foundation of an effective routine. In winter, it is crucial to use non-aggressive products that respect the hydrolipidic film.
As always, we recommend double cleansing, which effectively and gently cleanses the skin. If you have never tried double cleansing, we recommend two of La Canopée's flagship products: the gentle floral cleansing oil and the black cleansing jelly with purifying active ingredients. Both steps are crucial and must be performed in the correct order. Use the gentle floral oil first, followed by the black cleansing jelly with purifying active ingredients.

Intense hydration
Hydration is the keyword for winter. Your skin needs water, but also lipids to restore and strengthen its natural barrier.
Universal Cream: For dry or dehydrated skin, opt for our hydrating and nourishing cream dedicated to all skin types, even the most sensitive. Its active ingredients retain water and provide intense nourishment.
Ultra-nourishing Oleaginous Serum: After the cream, apply a protective oil, such as the ultra-nourishing oleaginous serum, to seal in hydration, provide skin suppleness and comfort, and protect your skin from external aggressors.
Relying on cocooning skincare
To pamper your skin, treat it to weekly hydrating and nourishing treatments.
Fruit Acid Exfoliating Mask: Winter is no excuse to forget exfoliation. Apply the La Canopée exfoliating mask once a week to help the skin renew itself properly and better absorb the active ingredients you provide. This fruit acid exfoliating treatment is gentle and suitable for all skin types.
Ideally, follow the exfoliating mask with the soothing milky rose mask.
Soothing Milky Rose Mask: This very gentle mask, packed with hydrating, nourishing, and repairing active ingredients, will provide suppleness and comfort to your skin. The epidermis is strengthened, ready to face the cold and wind. The soothing milky rose mask can be used without moderation; at a minimum, use it once a week.
Taking care of specific areas
This oily treatment dedicated to the eye contour will provide a lot of comfort to tight skin with redness.
It can be applied to the eye contour, but also to any delicate areas that need repairing and protecting.
It is the must-have repairing treatment to keep in your bag all winter long!
A lifestyle adapted to winter
Taking care of your skin is not limited to cosmetics. In naturopathy, it is considered that outer beauty reflects our inner well-being.
In winter, the sensation of thirst decreases, but your body and your skin still need water. Drink at least 1.5 L per day, in the form of water, herbal teas, or broths.
Add foods rich in omega-3s to your diet. These essential fatty acids strengthen the skin barrier and prevent dryness.
