How to revive your skin this winter - French Beauty Co.

As the temperature drops, wind kicks in and heater goes on, our skin goes through the winter ride leading to discomfort and dryness, and in worst cases to parched skin, flaky spots and chapped extremities.

As we adjust our wardrobe to puffy jackets and scarves, it is time to adjust our beauty routine too. 

Discover our favorite products to brace the chilly months.

 

Weleda Skin Food

Described as a thick moisturiser, this all-natural product free of paraben, artificial preservative, fragrance and vegan is THE SOS product for all the winter woes.

A little goes a long way and it is perfect for chapped lips, flaky hands and cracked skin on elbows, knees, feet, etc. Also great to soothe eczema or rosacea flare-ups.

Our favourite tips:

  • As a primer or illuminator under foundation for a glowing skin
  • As an all over body moisturiser, particularly great to use the night before tanning to avoid any disgraceful marks
  •  As an intensive hand or foot treatment: apply a generous amount before bed and cover with gloves/socks

     

    Embryolisse Filaderme Cream

    Designed to visibly reduce the signs of ageing, Filaderme Cream targets fine lines and wrinkles as well as loss of firmness while hydrating the skin for a youthful and radiant complexion. Shea butter and botanical squalane help improve skin elasticity banishing dry flaky skin.

    Why is it so good?

    •  The rich creamy texture is very pleasurable to use
    •  You only need a tiny bit at the time, that jar goes forever
    •  It can be used overnight as an hydrating face mask

      Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm 

      Nuxe, Lip

      An ultra-nourishing lip balm containing the goodness of Honey and Vitamin E and other precious oils. It repairs, soothes and protects dry or chapped lips. Thanks to its unique texture and subtle taste of refreshing grapefruit, it really is a beauty must-have. Its rich texture melts into the lips to moisturise even the driest and damaged lips.

      Why we love it?

      • For its creamy matte texture: even men can wear it without looking like they have applied glossy lipstick
      • This little jar literally lasts for months 
      • It can even be used on cuticles or dry patches

         

        Cattier Pink Clay Mask

        The Cattier pink clay facial mask is a gentle treatment for sensitive and reactive skin. Enriched with essential oils and extracts, it nourishes and softens the epidermis while clarifying the skin. Naturally rich in mineral salts and trace elements, clay has been used for centuries by many civilisations (Greek, Indian, Egyptians) for its valuable properties. 

        Its key benefits:

        • Fragrance-free and natural formula
        • Vegan and certified organic
        • Can be used in the shower while applying your shampoo or hair mask! A real time saver!

          Caudalie Vinosource Overnight Oil

          Caudalie, oil

          The antidote for dry skin! 100% natural, this recovery oil is packed with a concentrated blend of plants and essential oils to repair the skin barrier and soothe sensitive skin whilst you sleep. Grape seed oil and Sesame seed oil protect the skin cells against ageing while Jojoba oil soothes sensitivity and reduces redness. Rose essential oil and Rosemary essential oil provide anti-bacterial properties and balance.

          What we love:

          • The non-greasy "dry-oil" texture is quickly absorbed 
          • The drop applicator allows it to be mixed with any moisturiser
          • Versatile, it can be used on all skin types, even on oily to combination skin
