Ultra-moisturizing milky serum to comfort winter’s battered skin

Cold, wind and heating dry out, then exhaust the skin day after day. A serum with a milky texture helps restore moisture and comfort over the long term. It’s also an attractive option for skin weakened by winter, often in need of soothing.

Why skin cracks in winter

Cold air contains little moisture, so the skin rapidly loses water. What’s more,scarf rubbing and heating aggravate the loss and stimulate irritation. As a result, the lipid barrier becomes more fragile, allowing even more aggression to pass through.

Tightness, redness and flakiness form a frequent trio as soon as the first waves of frost hit. These are the 3 key signs of winter skin discomfort. Sebum, on the other hand, can go haywire, with shine that surprises combination skins.

The winning answer combines water, humectants and repairing lipids to consolidate the barrier. A milky texture envelops the skin without heaviness, while reducing friction. This format delivers immediate comfort, without clogging or suffocating sensitive pores.

“Winter weakens the skin barrier, so we need to repair and soothe.”

The milky texture, a soft blanket that stays light

A fine emulsion deposits a supple, invisible film, close to the touch of the skin. In this way, the skin drinks up water, then better retains moisture thanks to a protective veil. A serum of this type calms burning cheeks and limits itching.

The principle comes from Korean routines, which focus on thin, successive and consistent layers. This means layering without oiliness, enhancing regularity and tolerance. Use in the evening to optimize night-time repair, when the skin regenerates more.

• Apply to slightly damp skin to boost penetration of active ingredients.
• Limit rubbing, and prefer gentle pressure with the palms.
• Layer from the most fluid to the richest, without exceeding 3 layers.
• Adjust the quantity according to the weather, the heating and how you feel.
• Stop treatment if tingling persists, then seek medical advice.

Erborian Skin Therapy Routine: a focus on comfort

The Skin Therapy range is built around 2 complementary textures, designed to support each other. On the one hand, a concentrated milky serum ensures targeted, stable and comfortable hydration. On the other, an oily phase seals, then softens the weakened surface.

Erborian – Skin Therapy Sérum Lacté features a milky, melting texture designed for night-time use. This serum also targets the comfort of normal to oily skin, without stickiness.

The texture melts quickly, then leaves the skin feeling supple and clean until you wake up. What’s more, it prepares the skin to receive a thin layer of oil, as needed. The 3-step protocol is simple, clear and easy to follow.

To apply, warm a dab between hands for a few seconds. Then press from the center to the cheeks, then to the forehead and chin. This method limits friction and respects the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film.

Apply well, recover better

In the evening, start with gentle cleansing, without aggressive foaming or vigorous brushing. In this way, the skin remains receptive to the concentrated serum and absorption is enhanced. Then apply the product when skin is still slightly damp, never dripping.

Erborian – Skin Therapy Night Oil is used at the end of the routine, just after the milk. A few drops are all it takes to seal in water and soften the surface.

Frequently asked questions, safe gestures

Can this texture be combined with stronger, targeted active ingredients? Yes, but proceed cautiously with evening exfoliants and retinoids. So, space out applications and observe the skin for 2 to 3 weeks.

What about oily skin with recurring imperfections in winter? On the other hand, avoid occlusive formulas and focus on lightness, especially in the evening. A milky serum can moisturize without weighing down the skin, provided the routine remains balanced and consistent.

Erborian – Skin Therapy Eye targets the fragile, often reactive eye contour area. The gesture is patted, from the inner corner outwards, without stretching.

If discomfort persists, seek advice from a healthcare professional or dermatologist. Also, always test the serum on a small area before regular use. In short, consistency and listening to your skin make all the difference in the world.
