Winter is a season that our skin dreads. The cold, the wind, and the dry air from heating disrupt its natural balance, causing tightness, redness, and a feeling of discomfort. Fortunately, there are solutions to protect and soothe your skin during this period. Among these solutions, the benefits of walnuts, particularly the Grenoble AOP walnut , stand out for their effectiveness. This article explores in depth the causes of winter tightness and redness, as well as natural remedies to remedy them, with a focus on the exceptional virtues of walnuts.

Why does skin suffer in winter?

Causes of winter cramps

1. Cold, dry air
   In winter, the outside air contains less humidity, which dries out the skin. This phenomenon is amplified by the icy wind which weakens the skin barrier.

2. Interior heating
   Indoors, heating also reduces ambient humidity, further dehydrating the skin.

3. Sudden changes in temperature
   Moving from the cold outside to the warmth inside causes blood vessels to dilate rapidly, leading to redness and sensitized skin.

4. Inadequate care
   Using overly aggressive cleansers or insufficiently nourishing creams can make tightness and irritation worse.

How to protect your skin in winter?

1. Adopt a winter-friendly skincare routine

Winter requires special attention for your skin. Here are the essential steps:

• Gentle cleaning
  Use soap-free cleansers, enriched with moisturizing agents, to avoid damaging the skin barrier.

• Intense hydration
  Apply a moisturizer rich in nourishing active ingredients such as walnut oil, which helps restore the skin's lipid barrier.

• Protection against the cold
  Before going out, apply a barrier cream that protects against external aggressions.

• Light exfoliation
  Once or twice a week, use a gentle exfoliant to remove dead cells and promote absorption of treatments.

The benefits of walnuts to soothe and protect the skin

1. A natural treasure for the skin

The Grenoble AOP walnut is rich in essential nutrients which provide incomparable benefits for the skin:

• Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids
  They strengthen the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and maintaining optimal hydration.

• Vitamin E
  A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against external aggressions and prevents premature aging.

• Polyphenols
  These antioxidant compounds help soothe inflammation and reduce redness caused by cold.

2. A soothing and restorative action

Walnut oil is a valuable ally for skin prone to tightness and redness. Thanks to its emollient properties, it deeply nourishes and brings immediate comfort to the skin.

3. Nucitherapy: a unique innovation

At Novëm, we harness the virtues of walnuts through Nucitherapy, an innovative approach that uses treatments rich in AOP Grenoble walnut oil to regenerate and soothe the skin. Our products combine tradition and innovation to deliver visible results from the first applications.

Skincare routine with nut products

1. Cleanse gently

Use a gentle cleanser enriched with walnut oil to purify your skin without drying it out.

2. Hydrate intensely

Apply a moisturizer or serum containing walnut oil to deeply nourish your skin and restore its natural glow.

3. Protect and soothe

Before going out, use a protective balm rich in nuts to create a barrier against the cold and wind.

4. Weekly care

Once a week, make a restorative mask based on walnuts to soothe redness and strengthen the skin barrier.

The right actions for comfortable skin all winter long

1. Hydrate your body from the inside out

Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as nuts, to nourish your skin from the inside out.

2. Avoid hot showers

Hot water can damage the skin's lipid barrier. Choose lukewarm water to avoid drying out your skin.

3. Protect yourself from the sun

Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. Use a suitable sunscreen, especially if you are going to the mountains.
