Winter care that I apply for outdoor activities can be a little richer. I use it for my face and hands, as the latter are all too often forgotten. However, they need just as much protection from the cold and UV rays outdoors as the face. The rich care balm from Sans Soucis is just the thing for this. And it’s practical too, because the handy, dark blue 50 ml tube fits in every coat pocket.
Winter care 2 in 1
The “Outdoor Protection 2 in 1” care balm is so rich that you should massage it in well after applying it to the skin. The rich consistency of this special winter care product forms a protective layer on the skin, which helps to replenish its moisture reserves. Dry and sensitive skin in particular remains effectively protected from external influences such as wind, water, cold or dryness. Thanks to its nourishing and protective properties, Winter Care 2 in 1 is suitable for daily use.
Why does the skin need special care in winter
If the thermometer in the winter shows temperatures in the single digits, our skin’s natural self-protection is weakened because it can simply produce less sebum in the cold. However, the skin’s own oil is necessary for a strong and resistant skin barrier that can retain moisture in the tissue. Optimal care for this temperature range has the ability to strengthen the skin’s resistance and at the same time support the skin’s own protective barrier. Lipid-rich creams with a water-in-oil base are ideal for dryness on the face. Care products with linoleic acid, shea butter or argan oil are also very suitable for cold weather.
What are cold therapies?
Cold also has its benefits for the skin, the psyche and the body. So-called cold therapies, also known as cryotherapy (ancient Greek κρύος kryos, German ‘ice, frost’), benefit from this. Various methods are used, which differ in temperature and place of application, such as ice compresses, ice packs, ice immersion baths and cold water baths. Liquid nitrogen is used in cryotherapy in cold chambers.
Cold therapies help to combat chronic diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, neurodermatitis or neuronal disorders, as well as to relieve pain and inflammation caused by injuries and/or tension. Athletes use the cold shock after hard training sessions for regeneration or shortly before training to improve performance.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
…but we must safeguard our skin from its rays as well. What is the most effective way to protect ourselves and what can be done if the UV rays have already caused skin damage.
Our relationship to the sun is ambivalent. We love it because it warms us, brightens our mood and gives our complexion a beautiful color. On the other hand, every sunburn increases the risk of skin cancer. So, here’s a little test to see how well you know how to deal with the sun.
Did you know?
The sun protection factor (SPF) multiplied by the skin’s own protection time indicates the amount of time one can be in the sun without any skin damage being caused. For example: SPF 30 at 10 minutes self-protection time, i.e. 30 x 10, results in 300 sun minutes with regular reapplication of sunscreen. However, dermatologists recommend moving into the shade after two thirds of the maximum time.
Self-protection is the period of time during which the skin can protect itself from the sun. Depending on the skin type, this ranges between 5 and 15 minutes in our latitudes. If a sunscreen product is used, it can be extended according to the SPF.
The amount of product necessary to provide adequate protection is more than you may think: About two milliliters are needed per square centimeter of skin, which corresponds to three tablespoons for the whole body. “Sun terraces” such as the forehead, nose, ears, neck, shoulders, décolleté and the arch of the foot usually need more.
Sun cream should be applied every two hours. This is the only way to maintain the level of protection, as sweat, water and sand tend to remove the UV filters. It’s a common misconception, however, that that this prolongs the protective effect.
Sun protection filters are distinguished by two operating principles: Mineral UV filters lie on the skin and reflect sunlight like small mirrors. They consist of natural, white pigments such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Chemical UV filters penetrate the outer layer of the epidermis and absorb the rays. Benzone, trisiloxane or drometrizole, for example, are listed on the packaging.
The UV rays have different wavelengths. While short-wave UV-B rays cause sunburn, long-wave UV-A contributes to skin ageing. The indicated sun protection factor (SPF) refers only to UV-B. For this reason, it’s advisable to look for the UV-A seal on the packaging.
