The right hair and skin care
in winter: men's edition

Winter not only brings festive spirit and snowflakes, but also cooler temperatures and dry air, which pose particular challenges for our hair and skin. Many skincare routines are often viewed as women's work, although it's just as important for men to properly care for their skin and hair during the cold months.

Here are some tips and products specifically tailored to the needs of men's skin and hair.

Gentle cleaning is key

In winter, the skin tends to dry out more quickly. It is therefore important to switch to gentle facial cleansing. Choose mild cleansing gels or creams that preserve the skin's natural oils. Alternatively, mild soaps with a high oil content can provide gentle cleansing without drying out the skin. This helps rid the skin of dirt without compromising its natural moisture.

Moisture, moisture, moisture

Winter air can dry out the skin, causing dryness and irritation. Therefore, it is crucial to add an intensively moisturizing cream to your care routine. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. These active ingredients act like moisture magnets, attracting water and binding it in the skin cells. Hyaluronic acid provides intense hydration, while glycerin locks moisture into the skin to keep it supple and soft. This combination is particularly effective at counteracting winter dryness and protecting your skin from the harsh climate. Give your skin the moisturizer it needs during the cold months and maintain its natural suppleness.

Winter hair care for men

In winter, not only your skin but also your hair need special attention. Use mild shampoos to protect the scalp, reduce the frequency of washing your hair, and use moisturizing hair masks for additional protection. Wear a hat in extreme weather and maintain healthy, split-end-free hair with regular haircuts. These simple tips will keep your mane looking great even in the coldest months.

Don't forget to care for your beard

When it comes to winter care, men with a proud face should be particularly careful to ensure that not only the beard but also the skin underneath is optimally cared for. Dry winter air can not only dry out your beard hair, but can also put a strain on the sensitive facial skin underneath. To counteract this, high-quality beard oils with natural ingredients such as argan oil or jojoba oil are just the thing. These oils are not only rich in nutrients that keep the beard hair supple and shiny, but they also penetrate the skin and provide it with the moisture it needs. Argan oil in particular is known for supplying the skin with vitamin E, while jojoba oil is particularly compatible with skin care due to its similarity to natural skin oil. Regular use of beard oil not only protects against the unpleasant itching that often accompanies dry skin under the beard, but also gives the entire face a well-groomed and attractive look. So, men with beards, treat yourself and your facial hair to some well-deserved winter care!

Lip balm for kiss-soft lips

Dry and cracked lips are not uncommon in winter. A high-quality lip balm with ingredients such as beeswax, shea butter and vitamin E protects against drying out and keeps the lips supple.

Special care for rough areas

If certain areas of skin suffer particularly from the cold, treat them to an extra dose of care. Creams or ointments containing urea or panthenol are ideal for soothing rough areas, especially on the elbows and knees.

Sun protection is not a summer privilege

UV protection is also crucial in winter. Choose a moisturizer or aftershave with built-in sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays that are present even in colder temperatures.

Keep an eye on ingredients

When choosing care products, pay attention to ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vitamin E and aloe vera. These have been proven to have moisturizing and soothing properties, which are particularly beneficial in winter care.

The cold season doesn't have to mean that your hair and skin suffer. With these simple skin care and hair care tips you will be well prepared for winter. Give your skin that extra dose of moisture, protect your beard from drying out and care for your hair to withstand brittle winter weather. Then you can concentrate on the snow and fun, while your skin and hair shine. Give yourself the care they deserve.
