The 6 products that I apply to my skin in winter

And that I truly swear by

The wrinkles are appearing like earth cracks on my forehead, it's one big, dry savannah above the eyebrows and my color is close to off-white, not pretty. The rest of the editorial team thinks my lament is exaggerated, but I believe I have valid reasons to complain a bit. Exaggeration is an art and I'm good at it, let's leave it at that. Winter is ice-cold and merciless for my face. Now you might think: well, well, winter, winter, meteorological spring has started... But the experience is that in February your skin suffers the most. After those way too short, cold, miserable days, you need a boost. And honestly, I don't know how you found this week, but for me, it felt like winter. Therefore, the six beauty products that help my skin through the winter. For when the dryness and cold have also hit you.

1. I am forever spoiled by the Beam Cream from Soap.

If you recoil from your own reflection, then this is the solution. It gives a glow, making you feel like J.Lo. At least for a few seconds. You want this.

2. When nothing else works, then comes Marie-José from MJ Amsterdam to the rescue.

I will lie under the collagen lamp for a quarter of an hour, which makes my skin produce everything again and gives my face a nice boost. My concealer was a bit stuck in my frown yesterday, so I think I need to go again.

3. The mask from Dermalogica

Multivitamin powerrrrrr. Put vitamin A, C, and E in a tube and you're done. I use the Dermalogica mask about two to three times a week. Just apply it on clean skin and let it soak in. The only thing you need to do is sleep for a night and in the morning you look much more radiant.

4. The cream in anxious days

Around December, everything needs to be a bit richer. I suddenly become it too, which can be a bit less. But so be it. My nourishing cream is the Visionnaire from Lancôme, the only cream where my skin doesn't immediately get dry again after five minutes.

5. Eye bag remedy

When it's eye bag time, you need heavy artillery. It happened to me just after Christmas. What you need to do then? Apply, apply, apply. First, you apply Energie De Vie around the eye, this cooling gel makes your puffy eyes disappear. To tighten things up even more, it's MAC's turn. With the miraculous Fast Respond Eye Cream, you smooth everything out. Really, as if you've never had bags under your eyes.

6. End in sight

I see myself sitting on a terrace with a glass of white in about three weeks (I really will be, because: vacation), that's why I'm going to do another course. The Sublime Skin Peel Pads from Comfort Zone have fruit acids, which also work on your cell renewal. Just use them every other day on your face and then apply that nice cream before you go to sleep. You'll greet spring fresh and fruity.
