Update your winter skincare routine
As temperatures drop, many of us experience drier skin. Freezing temperatures, cold winds, and dry air can be harsh on the skin, potentially resulting in redness, irritation, and more sensitive skin. In this guide, you'll find tips on how to support your skin barrier and maintain hydrated, smooth, and resilient skin during autumn and winter.
Skip cleansing in the morning
If your skin feels dry and tight, it might be a good idea to skip cleansing in the morning. By allowing the skin to retain the natural, protective oils produced during the night, you minimise the risk of further drying out the skin. Rinse your face with lukewarm water or go straight in with a toner or essence.
Cleanse gently in the evening
Choose a gentle milk or balm cleanser that supports the skin barrier and cleanses without drying. Enriched with nourishing ingredients such as soothing oat and almond oil, squalane, and microbiome-balancing prebiotic oat extract, The Magic Milk and The Bare Balm effectively yet gently cleanse the skin, leaving it soft and hydrated.
Hydrate in multiple layers
Boost your skin’s hydration by adding The Shroom Essence. Formulated with adaptogenic fermented mushrooms that intensely hydrate, soothe, and provide antioxidant protection, lactobionic acid (PHA), hyaluronic acid, and our mBarrier™ Complex, The Shroom Essence acts as a hydration bomb. This nourishing essence also contains panthenol and oat oil, which help strengthen the skin barrier and calm irritated skin. Pat the essence in multiple layers until the skin feels saturated.
Provide extra nourishment
The Glow Serum is a nourishing and revitalising oil serum that soothes, balances, and strengthens the skin thanks to antioxidant-rich oils, bakuchiol, liquorice root extract, and our own mBarrier™ Complex. Besides being used as a classic serum, this multifunctional oil can be added to your moisturiser or used as the last step in your routine to lock in moisture, provide extra nourishment, and give an intense glow.
Repair a damaged skin barrier
The colder months can take a toll on the skin barrier, resulting in irritation, redness, and a weakened skin barrier. By adding the repairing The Barrier Cream, rich in biomimetic lipids such as ceramides and cholesterol and prebiotic inulin, it ensures that the skin remains resilient, hydrated, and balanced even during the cooler months.
Protect your skin
For frosty days and really dry skin, there's The Rich Cream. This rich moisturiser strengthens, nourishes, and acts as a protective shield against external stressors like cold and dry weather. Thanks to barrier-strengthening ceramides, softening shea butter, and moisture-locking beeswax, dryness and irritation are minimised for smooth, intensely softened skin despite freezing temperatures.
Gently exfoliate
Keep dullness at bay and get glowing in one simple sweep with The Hydra Pads. Gentle enough for daily use, The Hydra Pads exfoliate without irritating the skin. Soaked in an innovative formula with lactobionic acid, MANTLE's mPelagic2™ Complex with jellyfish mucin + deep-sea algae (which you also find in The Hydra Serum), malachite extract, and mint, the pads provide intense hydration, refresh the skin, and leave your complexion instantly more radiant. By exfoliating, you not only get more even and glowing skin, but the following products in your routine get the chance to penetrate more effectively.
Protect your lips
Soften and care for dry, flaky lips with The Calm Balm. This multifunctional balm contains, in addition to shea butter, sea buckthorn extract, and vitamin E, protective beeswax and lanolin, barrier-strengthening ceramides, and soothing bisabolol that give the lips the extra care they need during the winter months.
