There is a chill in the air, and the wind is blowing the beautiful leaves off the trees. Winter is just around the corner! As the temperatures cool, the humidity in the air dips, and can leave your skin wanting more — moisture, that is! While it’s true that the top layer of your skin is damaged more easily in the cold, dry weather, the good news is, with the right preparation, your skin will barely notice the change in seasons! A few things to focus on to prepare your skin are:

Staying hydrated

Hydration is more important now than ever. Dry skin not only gets damaged more easily, but because the top layer of your skin is dry, it makes it difficult for serums and moisture to penetrate through it. Make sure your skincare is as effective as possible by sloughing off the dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week.  Hyaluronic acid increases hydration by binding to water molecules and holding them in your skin like a sponge. After cleansing and exfoliating, try our Hyaluron Impulse capsules to supercharge your skin’s moisture. Seal the extra moisture in and finish your routine with a rich night cream. For more mature skin, try our Rich Recovery Cream, and for more sensitive skin, try the Night Replenisher. For the ultimate luxurious experience, try our Night Cream, with colloidal platinum, silk acacia extract, lipid complex, and more. We promise you will feel pampered and immediately refreshed!

Continue with sun protection

 Even if the sun doesn’t seem as strong this time of year, it’s important to protect our skin before putting on makeup. Try our anti-pollution cream to protect your skin from the elements during the day. Our anti-pollution cream uses compounds such as red camellia extract to strengthen your skin’s resistance to environmental pollutants and Allantoin and Shea butter to soothe and hydrate. For an extra layer of sun protection with the added bonus of light coverage, try our Optimal Tinted Complexion Cream! It provides light coverage to even out your skin tone, helps retain moisture, and has a mechanical sun shield of SPF10.

Ultra-rich day/night treatments

If your skin needs a little more than what is listed above, try pampering it to the max with these ultra-rich treatments!

During the day, use our Rich Nutrient Skin Refiner to give a luxurious boost of hydration, along with the extra layer UV protection your skin needs! The oat extract will help lift and firm your skin while you wear it. At night, refresh your skin and help fight the signs of aging with our Night Cream. This rich cream supports the skin’s nightly regeneration process with ingredients such as colloidal platinum to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and vitamin E to neutralize damaging free radicals.

Finally, top off your winter skincare routine with the occasional application of our Rich Energy Mask! Packed full of the essential vitamins and nutrients that your skin craves during the winter months, this fast-acting mask can be washed off completely or partially wiped off your skin, and the remainder massaged into your skin for an overnight deep care treatment.

Ready for winter? Here are five steps you can take to stay hydrated during the cold weather this season!

Drink plenty of water

It can be easy to forget to drink water during the winter months. We simply don’t feel as thirsty without the heat! Often, we don’t notice that we have allowed ourselves to get dehydrated until we start seeing physical symptoms, such as chapped lips, brain fog, muscle cramps, and sluggish digestion. Staying in a dehydrated state while it’s cold and you are not getting as much vitamin D from the sun also contributes to a weakened immune system. If the thought of chugging cups full of cold water during the winter is not appealing to you, that’s ok, you have other options! Try drinking room temperature water, or even hot water (as herbal tea or with added lemon for flavor). As much as we hope that it would, coffee doesn’t fit into this category, unfortunately, since caffeine is a dehydrator.

Eat hydrating foods

You can add hydrating foods to your diet during the winter to help. Soup is a great option, as it combines the hydration of a nourishing broth with the comfort of a warm, filling meal!

Use a rich moisturizer

Our faces are not the only skin that feels the effects of the cold air! To lock in as much moisture as possible to your skin, try using a rich moisturizer all over your body while your skin is still damp from a shower. Our Isoflavonia body lotion is the perfect choice to retain and add moisture where your skin needs it most. For your face, try our Night Replenisher to help replenish lipids in your skin as you sleep.

Look for extra hydrating ingredients in your skincare, such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, urea, panthenol.

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most powerful hydrating ingredients in skincare. It acts like a sponge, holding moisture molecules in the skin for a long period of time, keeping you hydrated all day long! Because the molecules are smaller and lighter, hyaluronic acid works best when it is used directly against the skin for optimal absorption and then sealed with a heavier moisturizer.

Keep a humidifier going

The dry and often stagnant air from central air furnaces takes a toll on our skin during the winter! We can combat this by keeping a humidifier going in our homes or offices. If space is an issue, you can get personal-sized humidifiers that are perfect for smaller office spaces!

Avoid super hot showers

Hot water can diminish your skin’s natural barrier and cause it to lose hydration and natural oils. This tip is tough to implement since there is nothing better than a long, hot bath on a cold day, but I promise, it makes a difference! If you are like me and simply can’t give up baths, try sticking to no more than once a week to give your skin a chance to replenish its natural oils in between.

By implementing even one or two of these tips, you can be confident that your skin will stay as happy and healthy as possible all winter long!

So what are you waiting for? Explore the world of Janssen German Skincare and see what amazing results await!

I have always been lucky when it came to my skin. I never really dealt with acne during puberty, and in my teen years and twenties, you could have described my skin as “normal”. Not too oily, not too dry. I would often get compliments from strangers and friends on my skin, and because it was always this way, I brushed them off with a “thanks” and kind of took what I had for granted.

Well, I recently turned 30, and everything has changed. I'm experiencing acne for the first time in my life, and my skin has gone from “normal” to “combination” almost overnight. Dry in some spots, oily in others. I had no idea what to do or try to help combat these new skin concerns of mine until I found out about Janssen Professional Grade Cosmetic Ampoules.

Ampoules are a unique skincare solution that you can add to your regime when you want to add an extra boost or feel like your skin needs an extra helping hand. I’ll admit, I was a little intimidated at first, but after doing some research and using my first one, I feel like a pro and honestly kind of silly for ever being nervous to try them. In fact, I wish I would have started sooner!

Ampoules are potent serums that have been dosed individually in tiny glass vials, so you know exactly how much to use per treatment. This avoids waste and any irritation by accidentally using too much. It keeps the product super fresh and uncontaminated from the outside world (I think we can all be guilty of getting our makeup and skincare products dirty or messy from time to time), so every time you break one of those little glass ampoule vials open, it's like you are using a brand new bottle.

Each ampoule vitalizes, tightens, regenerates, firms, soothes, refreshes, revives, hydrates, or detoxifies the skin. These tiny ampoules bring new meaning to “good things come in small packages”.  Packed with good ingredients derived from nature and tested by science, there is something for everyone and every skin type. Since these ampoules are packed full of high-quality active ingredients, an ampoule treatment only lasts a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the type of ampoule. You get lasting results in a very short time period!

Janssen Cosmetics German Skincare ampoules have quickly become one of my favorite skincare products, and I recommend them to all my friends and family. I love the ritual of opening the glass vial, and applying the serum and seeing the product work its magic. It adds a couple of minutes extra of “me time” to my busy day, and it always makes me feel pampered and relaxed. I'm all about feeling great no matter what you look like, but it does feel amazing to have people complimenting my skin again!

I feel confident going forward knowing that as my skin changes and ages that I have a professional grade skincare line that feels like it was tailor-made for me and whatever needs I may encounter.
