Having Beautiful Skin in Winter: Why Is It So Difficult?
In winter, the skin produces less sebum, which makes it more sensitive, more reactive, and sometimes more dull. Adapting your routine then becomes essential... But finding the balance between nourishment and lightness remains a real challenge depending on your skin type! Indeed, textures that are too rich can suffocate the skin, while treatments that are too light are not always enough, especially if you have dry skin.
But winter also brings a change in body needs: the body dehydrates as much as the face, but this is often forgotten. Adding targeted actions, such as a nourishing body lotion, is therefore essential.
Finally, the lack of light influences cell renewal, making your skin duller and less radiant: it is therefore the perfect time to rethink both your skincare and your lifestyle!
Use Gentle Cleansers That Respect the Skin Barrier
In winter, cleansing must be gentle, as harsh products can worsen dryness, tightness, redness, and discomfort. It is better to choose non-aggressive formulas that contain hydrating agents and ingredients that soften the skin. An oil or cleansing milk, followed by a gentle cleanser, preserves the skin’s balance much better. The goal is to keep your protective film intact. A minimalist but effective routine is enough: remove makeup, gently cleanse, rinse with lukewarm water (never too hot), and dry delicately.
Start by purifying your skin with the Grangettes cleansing lotion, which effectively removes makeup and impurities, leaving the skin clean and dry. Then, choose the Grangettes purifying gel, enriched with moisturizing wheat protein: a revitalizing touch for your face in winter!

Use Thermal Water or Filtered Water to Rinse Your Face
Hard water, combined with cold winter temperatures, increases redness and dryness. The trick? Rinse your face with thermal water spray or filtered water, even once a day, to reduce irritation and boost your skin’s radiance!
Opt for a Nourishing but Non-Occlusive Cream
The face is the area most exposed to the cold. As soon as temperatures drop, many notice the appearance of redness, irritation, or dry patches. To soothe and repair your tight skin, choose a cream specially formulated for skin sensitized by external aggressions.
But that’s not all: in winter, the skin barrier is weakened and water evaporates more quickly from the skin. This is called dehydration. To compensate, hydration must become a daily ritual, morning and evening. Ideally, choose products rich in humectants such as hyaluronic acid, squalane, or vegetable glycerin, which can attract and retain water in the tissues.
Finally, turn to textures that provide comfort without suffocating: choose nourishing but non-occlusive creams that strengthen the hydrolipidic film, the skin’s first defense against external aggressions. Well-hydrated skin is naturally more radiant, more supple, and more resilient.
The Grangettes Switzerland Soothing Face Cream is particularly suited for winter. It contains soothing and hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, squalane, allantoin, betaine...) that strengthen the skin barrier, reduce sensations of heat, and provide immediate comfort. Its texture, both light and enveloping, instantly calms tightness and helps the skin regain its natural balance. It is an ideal ally to face the cold, heated environments, and temperature variations.

Warm Your Cream in Your Hands Before Application
For a face or body cream to absorb well, it must be at the same temperature as your skin. Warm it for 3 seconds between your palms to enhance its absorption and sensory effect. This small gesture changes everything, whatever your skin type!
Nourish Your Skin with a Body Milk Suitable for Winter
Body hydration is not only done in summer, after long days in the sun! In winter, the cold attacks the legs, arms, and hands. The friction of clothing and indoor heating dry out the skin, and hot showers damage natural lipids.
To avoid rough patches, crocodile skin, and itching, applying a nourishing milk daily is essential. The Grangettes Switzerland Body Milk fits perfectly into your winter routine! Its velvety texture absorbs easily without leaving a greasy effect, while providing real comfort thanks to its hydrating and soothing ingredients. It intensely nourishes, smooths the skin texture, and leaves an immediate feeling of softness. By using it every day after showering, your skin remains supple, clear, and comforted, even during the coldest weeks of winter.

Create a "Natural Lipid Barrier" at Night
Before sleeping, apply your Grangettes soothing cream, then seal it with a micro-layer of oil (just a few drops). Sweet almond oil, jojoba, or argan oil are ideal. This technique, inspired by Korean slugging, protects the skin barrier all night and effectively repairs dry areas.
Replace Your Foundation with a Homemade "Cream + Pigment" Mix
Mix your Grangettes Soothing Face Cream with a micro-drop of foundation or concealer: this creates an ultra-hydrating tinted cream. It holds up to the cold and does not crack on the skin, even outdoors. This is the favorite technique of makeup artists for winter shoots!
Pay Attention to Water Temperature and Shower Duration
Very hot showers, although pleasant when it’s cold, are the enemy of soft skin in winter! Hot water dissolves the skin’s natural lipids, creating even more intense dryness. To have beautiful skin in winter, it is therefore recommended to favor lukewarm water and avoid prolonging showers beyond a few minutes.
To avoid having skin that stings after showering, the ideal is to apply your body milk on slightly damp skin, to enhance penetration and the effectiveness of the treatment. This simple gesture really changes the appearance and softness of your skin.
Drink Enough and Humidify Indoor Air
In winter, we often feel less thirsty, but the skin needs water as much as during the rest of the year. Drinking regularly, even in small amounts, helps maintain the skin’s natural hydration.
At the same time, the dry air in heated apartments and houses dehydrates your epidermis. Use a humidifier, or simply place a bowl of water near radiators, to make a real difference in your skin’s comfort.
