Why your skin behaves differently in winter ## When temperatures drop below freezing and heating systems start drying out the air in our homes, the skin loses its natural moisture much faster than in summer. At our salon kozmetický salón just you, we often see clients complaining of tightness, redness, or peeling skin. The cause is a disrupted hydrolipid barrier, which was sufficient in summer but cannot withstand external influences in the winter.

The mechanism of moisture loss in the cold ### As with other skin issues, prevention is the best approach. While our skin thrives on light gel textures in the summer, winter care requires a switch to occlusive layers. Occlusion helps lock moisture deep within the skin and protects it from aggressive frosty wind and dry air in offices or apartments. If you feel your current routine is not enough, book an appointment at our salon for a professional skin analysis.

Professional solution: Occlusion and regeneration ## At just you - beauty by Gabriello, we harness the power of REPÊCHAGE skincare, which is based on seaweed. For the winter season, we specifically recommend treatments focused on restoring barrier function.

RadiofrequencySupports cell regenerationMature and sagging skin

Each of these treatments is designed to prepare your skin for the transition to winter mode. If you are looking for premium skincare products, our experts will recommend exactly what your face needs.

Home care: The hero called Hydra Dew Pure™ balm ## The key to success is proper layering. Our favorite for the winter season is the Hydra Dew Pure™ moisturizing balm. This product acts as the perfect occlusive layer that protects the skin from drying out.

"For maximum effect, apply the Hydra Dew Pure™ balm as the final step of your evening routine. It creates a protective film on the skin surface that prevents transepidermal water loss while you sleep in a heated room." – Gabriello, skin care expert.

How to use it?

  1. ●Apply cleansing emulsion and toner.
  2. ●Apply your favorite serum for deep hydration.
  3. ●Lock in the moisture by patting the Hydra Dew Pure™ balm into the skin of your face and neck.

How to ensure year-round skin comfort ## In addition to changing products, think about regular care. Check out our products and stock your cosmetic bag with seaweed-based treatments. If you do not know what to get for your loved ones, give the gift of skincare through our gift vouchers.
