Skin protection for all seasons: tips for lasting protection

Whether it’s extreme heat, biting cold, or high humidity – the skin needs the right care in every kind of weather, all year round. This is the only way to ensure it can reliably fulfill its many functions. Various products from dline® provide gentle and effective skin protection. Here, you can discover which skincare products our range has to offer.

 

Why is it important to use skin protection that is appropriate for the season?

Throughout the year, the human body is protected by the skin against various climatic influences. Depending on the season, skin care requires the following measures:

  • In spring, the skin is exposed to the first rays of the sun. It must be prepared with the right care, and above all, a strong skin barrier must be built to protect the body from pollen and other potential allergens.
  • In summer, the skin urgently needs protection from the sun’s harmful UV radiation. This prevents skin damage and premature aging, while still allowing the skin to make the most of the sun’s benefits, such as producing the essential vitamin D.
  • In autumn, the skin should be able to recover from the strain of sun exposure. This is the time to supply it with moisture and nutrients, ensuring it is optimally prepared for the cold winter months.
  • In winter, the skin is constantly caught between extremes – exposed to cold air outdoors and often to dry heating air indoors. Maintaining balance under these conditions is one of the most important tasks of skin protection in winter.

By adapting your skincare to the climatic conditions, your skin will remain fresh and perfectly nourished at all times.

 

What should you bear in mind when it comes to skin protection in summer?

In summer, skin protection must focus on shielding the skin from UV rays and sunburn. For broad-spectrum sun protection, specific sunscreens or lotions with an SPF of 30 to 50 are primarily recommended, depending on skin type. Smaller, more exposed areas, such as the bridge of the nose or the ears, can be optimally protected with our ZCR® ZincCream – even if a mild sunburn is already present. It forms a whitish film over the areas to be protected and, thanks to the zinc, creates an impenetrable “barrier” against UV rays and infrared radiation.

Given the intense sunlight, any cooling effect is welcome for the skin in summer. Our CC® CoolingCream with menthol provides a pleasantly refreshing sensation thanks to its special formulation. Among its ingredients is menthol, which delivers an instant cooling boost.

Other components of the cream contribute to comprehensive skin care. Aloe vera, jojoba oil, and almond oil are well-known for their moisturizing properties, making the cream particularly suitable for dry, sensitive, and irritated skin. For very dry skin, it can be mixed with petroleum jelly. Additionally, it is also available without menthol for those with sensitivities.

 

What makes skin protection special in winter?

In winter, it is essential to supply the skin with nutrients. This can be done effectively, especially for dry to severely flaky skin, with our NCR® NutrientCream. It contains various plant oils such as corn, almond, and carrot oil, which provide the skin with abundant moisture – a particularly important benefit during the dry indoor heating season.

The vitamin E in the cream also nourishes the skin, protects it from inflammation, and promotes skin regeneration.

 

Which skin protection is essential all year round?

In both summer and winter, the delicate skin on the lips requires especially careful care. This is best achieved with our LPB® LipBalm, which helps stabilize the lips’ lipid and moisture balance and is suitable for various skin types. It can be used on normal as well as dry, stressed, and sensitive lips.

Are your lips severely stressed by dry air or sun exposure? Thanks to ingredients such as shea butter, beta-carotene, and bisabolol, the balm provides effective relief. Once applied, its protective and nourishing effect lasts for a long time. Since it is compatible with lipstick, it will not affect your choice of makeup.

Many people suffer from dry hands in both summer and winter. Our HL® HydroLotion HandCream absorbs quickly and moisturizes the skin from within, while also forming a protective layer on the skin’s surface.

The nasal mucosa can also benefit from extra care at any time of year. Our NaSanFit Nose Cream has been specially developed for the sensitive skin inside the nose. Among its beneficial ingredients is evening primrose oil, which helps maintain a protective skin barrier. It also contains nourishing substances such as glycerin and panthenol.
