As the colder months arrive, our skin enters a demanding period. Dry winter skin is not just a feeling of discomfort, it is a sign that your skin barrier needs more intensive support. At the beauty salon just you - beauty by Gabriello, we often see how the natural defenses of the skin are compromised by the freezing outdoor temperatures and dry air in overheated rooms. If you are looking for professional skincare in Bratislava, you are in the right place. ## Why does skin lose hydration in winter? At low temperatures, the activity of sebaceous glands that form the protective lipid film decreases. At the same time, air humidity drops, leading to faster water evaporation from the skin. The result is a feeling of tightness, redness, and flakiness. In our beauty salon just you, we therefore focus on so-called occlusive care during winter. This is a method where we create a protective barrier on the skin surface that prevents the loss of internal moisture and isolates the skin from aggressive environmental influences. ## Professional help for your skin If you feel that your home skincare routine is no longer enough, booking a treatment with us is the best first step. For the winter season, we especially recommend our hydrating cures that deeply nourish the skin and prepare it for frost. Our treatments use high-end REPÊCHAGE cosmetics, which are based on the power of seaweed. | Treatment Type | Main Benefit | Suitable for | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | I'M EXTRA Luxury Hydration | Intensive barrier renewal | Dry and dehydrated skin | | I'M PEPTIDE Triple Action Lifting | Firming and nourishment | Mature skin in winter | | Custom Treatment | Targeted lipid restoration | Every skin type | ### How to create an occlusive shield at home For a long-term effect, home care is key. In winter, light gel serums are not enough; you need layering. Our absolute tip for winter is the Hydra Dew Pure™ balm. This product acts as an invisible shield. How to use it correctly? Apply it as the last step of your evening routine over your cream to lock all hydrating substances into the skin. During the day, you can apply a thin layer to the driest areas to protect the skin from freezing wind. If you want advice on how to adjust your routine, book a consultation online. ## Tips for healthy winter skin - Layering is essential: Use serums rich in hyaluronic acid and then apply a nourishing cream. - Watch the temperature: Overly hot water when washing your face dries the skin even more. - Use our e-shop: Check out our products and complete your winter kit. - Give the gift of beauty: Looking for a gift? Our gift vouchers are the ideal solution for every woman. For more advice, follow our expert articles, where we regularly discuss current topics. Skincare is a journey, and we are here to guide you through it.
