Why your skin needs a reset at the start of the year
During winter, your skin loses moisture more quickly and the skin barrier can become weakened. This may lead to dryness lines, redness and a tight feeling. By going back to the basics cleansing, hydrating, protecting and repairing you help your skin regain balance. A good skincare routine is not about using many products, but about choosing the right ingredients that support your skin.
A fresh start begins with gentle cleansing
Gentle cleansing is the foundation of every skincare routine. Choose a cleanser that effectively removes impurities without drying out the skin. Brands such as CeraVe and Avène are known for their mild formulas with ceramides and thermal water, making them ideal for sensitive or dry skin. Cleansing morning and evening removes dirt and excess oil and prepares the skin for the next steps in your routine.
This is what a complete morning routine can look like
- Cleansing: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
- Serum: La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C Light
- Hydration: Vichy Liftactiv H.A. Serum + Avène Nourishing Cream
- Protection: Shiseido Age Defense SPF
Repair and reset your skin while you sleep
Evening is the time when your skin focuses on recovery. During the day, your skin is exposed to cold weather, pollution and UV radiation, while at night the natural regeneration process begins. A good evening routine supports this process and helps your skin look stronger, smoother and more hydrated in the morning.

- Serum: Vichy Liftactiv Serum
- Hydration: Avène Nourishing Cream
