Winter blues? Our tips to feel good in your skin and your body

Winter is on our doorstep. Once again, it's going to put our skin and our body to the test. Fortunately, there are solutions to protect them. Collagen-based dietary supplements and cosmetics are prime allies to pair with a healthy lifestyle. Here are our tips for getting through winter in style.

As you've noticed, winter is a tough time for our skin, particularly our face, which stays uncovered most of the time. It therefore bears the full brunt of the icy wind. This wind is especially harmful to our skin because it's extremely dry. We often tend to think the winter season is humid, but that's false. As surprising as it may seem, Antarctica is drier than the Sahara! The cold therefore dries out the epidermis, and you know the consequences: a feeling of tightness, the appearance of dry patches, sometimes a bit of eczema, all symptoms that need to be tackled.

Hydrate to protect your skin

To avoid these problems, the main key comes down to one word: hydration. Since the epidermis will be the first affected by the cold wind, we first recommend using a collagen cream every evening before going to bed. That way it will have all night to penetrate and maximise its effects.

The Covéline Paris Day | Night Collagen Cream is designed for exactly this. Its formula, specifically developed for extreme hydration, helps fight off all the assaults of the day. Furthermore, the collagen provides an immediate firming effect and combats the signs of ageing that are wrinkles and fine lines.

After a few days, your skin will be visibly more beautiful, more supple, with less visible wrinkles thanks to collagen. The added hydration will also reduce the feeling of tightness, which will become less present. The cold will slide off your skin without damaging it.

Strengthen your immunity and regain energy

Winter, however, isn't just a matter of temperature; it's also a time when our body and mind are put to the test. The days get shorter, we feel tired and it weighs on our morale too... not to mention the increased exposure to winter illnesses that can keep us in bed for several days.

You therefore have two goals to stay in shape during this gloomy season: regaining energy and strengthening your immunity. Your diet will be a decisive factor in achieving this. On the one hand by eating foods rich in vitamins, and on the other by using supplements that will give you a welcome boost during this difficult period.

On your plate, count on citrus fruits, for example, which are packed with vitamin C. You can also eat avocado, healthy and full of "good fats". Oily fish such as salmon will provide omega-3, which is good for your mood. You can add lentils for their anti-fatigue effect thanks to the iron they contain. If you prefer fruit, bananas will also instantly restore your energy.

When it comes to dietary supplements, choose formulas reinforced with vitamins. We're thinking in particular of vitamin D, which is often lacking in winter as the sun becomes scarcer. Collagen Vital Immunity was designed as a holistic solution that meets all of your body's needs.

Made of marine collagen biopeptides, it also contains echinacea, an antiviral and immune-stimulating plant to fight infections, as well as the 5 vitamins A, B, C, D, E to strengthen the immune system and trace elements to reduce fatigue. It will thus give you everything you need to regain energy and boost your immunity during winter. We recommend a one to two-month course, ideally in autumn or at the start of winter, taking one sachet a day in a glass of water at a fixed time, morning, midday or evening.

Thanks to this formula, you'll not only be able to get back in shape and improve your immunity, but you'll also enjoy the beneficial effects of collagen, which will also act on the skin to reduce the signs of ageing and strengthen your hair and nails.

If, in addition to a healthy diet, you keep up regular physical activity and follow the usual precautions to avoid viruses, you should get through winter without any problems!
