Winter is around the corner—and it’s not just the festive lights brightening up the city that give it away.
Listen to your skin and you’ll notice something’s changing: redness, dryness, heightened sensitivity. Three warning signs asking for a little extra attention (and a few extra treats).
Cold weather calls for a different pace: a gentler routine with more hydration and more respect for the skin barrier, to ease the discomfort caused by low temperatures and dry air.
What does cold do to our skin?
As temperatures drop and humidity decreases, the air—both outdoors and at home—gets colder and drier. This puts stress on the skin’s barrier, which dehydrates more easily.
It isn’t just the cold at play: indoor heating also contributes by increasing transepidermal water loss.
The result? Skin feels tight, reacts more to harsh cleansing, and needs extra nourishment.
How to care for your skin in winter (starting in the shower)
A change of season is the perfect time to take a look at the sponges hanging in your shower and replace them if needed.
Softer materials, plush textures, and enriched formulas can make a real difference to your winter skincare.
Here are three perfect allies to face the cold with more comfort and more care for your skin.
1) A Bamboo “Coccola” for a softer cleanse
For a gentler cleanse—ideal for skin that’s sensitive or flushed from the cold—choose our Coccola Scented Sponge (Bamboo): a true winter ally thanks to its hydrating, toning, and anti-irritation properties.
Made with the X-PAND process, this sponge maintains its fragrance and the benefits of bamboo even after the first use, extending the pleasure of a delicate, restoring bath.
In short, a small daily gesture that leaves skin softer—and winter a little more comfortable.
2) A brush that turns the shower into a comfort ritual
“Winter” pairs perfectly with comfort, blankets, and hot showers—and that’s where the Eco Massage brush comes in.
With a beechwood handle and cellulose sponge, it offers the ideal mix of comfort, cleansing, and relaxation.
The rippled weave of the 100% natural cellulose sponge delivers a pleasant massaging feel across the body, while the long handle makes it easy to reach tricky areas.
Perfect for those moments when you just want to shut the bathroom door and enjoy a few minutes all to yourself.
3) Cellulose make-up remover pads for late-night returns
For the brave souls who won’t skip a party even when it’s snowing, you’ll want a trusty ally when you get home: Cellulose make-up remover pads.
Soften them in warm water and they whisk away make-up with ease—no need for overly aggressive removers that could further irritate skin already stressed by the cold.
They’re also a greener choice, helping reduce environmental impact compared to single-use cotton pads.
Three examples of products that care for your skin through winter with extra attention and kindness—of course, they’re not the only ones!
