Winter Routine

Winter is back, and with it come the cold, wind and indoor heating, all of which can leave the skin feeling uncomfortable, leading to tightness, dehydration and sensitivity. This is the perfect time to adjust your routine and support your skin barrier.
At Makesenz, this season is an invitation to slow down and listen to what your skin needs.
Here is a simple, natural routine to get through winter with calm, nourished and comfortable skin.

Gentle Cleansing :

In winter, the priority is to preserve the skin barrier.
Avoid harsh cleansers that strip away the natural lipids produced overnight. The idea is to maintain balance, avoid overstimulating the skin and protect its hydrolipidic film.

The Makesenz go-to: Face cleansing gel | MAKESENZ
Thanks to its plant-based surfactants, this gel cleanses effectively yet gently.
Its light foam and aloe vera gel leave the skin clean, soft and soothed — the perfect start to your routine without weakening the skin.

Tip:
In the morning, if your skin feels tight or becomes red easily, simply refreshing it with a hydrosol of your choice is enough.

Hydrate and Nourish :

When temperatures drop, the skin needs both hydration + nourishment (though it truly needs this combination all year long!).
Hydration helps retain water, while nourishment strengthens the barrier — together ensuring comfortable and protected skin.

Choose your texture:

• Normal to combination skin → Jojoba moisturizing face cream - Normal skin | MAKESENZ
It rebalances, hydrates and protects without feeling heavy. Perfect if your skin feels slightly tight but still tends to get shiny.

• Dry or sensitized skin → Nourishing face cream Argan - Dry & sensitive skin | MAKESENZ
Richer and more enveloping, it brings instant and long-lasting comfort.

Tip: Add a Few Drops of an Oil-Based Serum

In winter, boosting your cream with a touch of plant oil is the secret to deeply nourished skin. Mix 1 to 2 drops of serum into your cream before applying.
To revive radiance when the cold dulls the complexion, our bestseller Glowing skin serum – Glow booster | MAKESENZ is ideal.
For an anti-ageing effect, Youth Serum – Anti-aging | MAKESENZ provides smoothing and protective action, perfect for maintaining plump, bouncy skin.

And What About the Body?

This is the time of year when the skin can itch or feel extra dry. To restore comfort, choose nourishing textures.

Three options depending on your preferences:

• You like fluid textures? → Soft body milk - Nourishes & soothes | MAKESENZ
With apricot oil, shea butter and lavender hydrosol, it nourishes without sticking and absorbs quickly.

• You prefer an oil texture? → Body Care Oil - Nourishes & softens | MAKESENZ
Light and fast-absorbing, it enhances the skin without leaving a greasy film. Ideal after the shower.

• Very dry areas? → Pure Shea Butter - Protect | MAKESENZ
or Shea & Lavender Comfort Balm | MAKESENZ

Whichever option you choose, you’ll benefit from all the virtues of shea butter. Shea butter is known for its ability to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. It acts as a true shield against external aggressions and helps repair dry, chapped or fragile areas thanks to its soothing and restorative properties.

Our shea-lavender balm also brings an extra calming effect, perfect for soothing irritations, comforting sensitive zones or even helping you unwind before bedtime.

You’re now ready to face winter with comfortable, nourished and well-protected skin!
