Unfortunately, winter isn't a romantic time of year for our skin. Cold weather, (far too) dry indoor heating, and the constant temperature fluctuations that come with it – all of this is really no fun for the skin barrier. On the one hand, moisture evaporates faster, and on the other hand, there's a lack of lipids (fats). We all know the result: increased tightness, redness, and irritation right in the middle of the face. That's why we – the members of the 48grams blog team – have put together the perfect winter routine. Five products that complement each other perfectly. Five – no more, no less! These formulations ensure that your skin stays resilient, well-hydrated, and visibly rosy throughout the cold season!
Protection against oxidative stress
Cold weather is stressful. This applies not only to choosing the thickest pants, sweaters, and coats, but also at a cellular level. Free radicals are not only produced by UV radiation. What many people don't know (or consider) is that free radicals also affect the body through environmental pollution and temperature fluctuations. Antioxidant Booster Serum (Our best basic serum) provides targeted protection. Grape seed extract (OPC) has a strong antioxidant effect, the Mallorca aloe soothes, and – last but not least – the small-chain oligo-hyaluronic acid provides additional moisture. For us at 48grams, this serum is our daily morning companion. Not just in winter – but it's especially important then!
Regeneration at the cellular level
We all experience this time and again: winter skin doesn't just suffer on the surface. The fact is, the renewal processes slow down deeper within the skin. Our EGF serum This is precisely where it comes in. The highly effective EGF complex, in particular, provides a significant boost. Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) promotes cell regeneration, while the included hyaluronic acid moisturizes the tissue in different layers. All of this makes the serum the ideal partner for 48grams creams. Our recommendation: During the colder months, this formula should be part of your evening skincare routine. This gives your skin more time to repair itself. After just a short period of use, your face will appear plumper and fresher – and, most importantly, better protected against constant temperature fluctuations.
The basis of every winter care
In winter, skin needs… exactly… substance. Rich Cream It was designed by skincare guru Bernd Kuhs precisely for this purpose. It not only provides moisture, but above all, structure. Urea binds water deep within the skin, while squalane and shea butter strengthen the lipid barrier (among other ingredients). The result is a texture that is not occlusive (i.e., "sealing"), but rather forms a reliable protective film. The skin remains stable for hours – day and night. To be clear: The Rich Cream is a maximum booster for winter-proof skin.
When the skin becomes unbalanced
It's an open secret: despite good skincare, there can be days when your skin just doesn't cooperate. Illness, stress, or simply exhaustion are common triggers. This is precisely where the Skin Repair Cream One. It's less focused on shielding. While aloe vera, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid moisturize the skin, it's mastic and edelweiss extract that provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Yes, this cream reduces redness and relieves feelings of tightness. It also shows clear results in cases of acne and rosacea. Bernd Kuhs says: "Skin Repair – whenever the skin needs extra support."
A touch of jade to finish
No winter without oil! It's essential – but please use it sparingly. The 48grams "Liquid Jade" consists of 100 percent cold-pressed Tamanu oil.This is a traditional active ingredient with regenerative and antibacterial properties. No, it's not just a sealing oil. Tamanu is an active repair partner. It helps the skin to heal micro-irritations more quickly. Tamanu shows its outstanding power, especially on cold-induced cracks or flaky patches!
That's why these five products belong together
We love this five-product combination for one simple reason: it follows a clear principle. Binding moisture, replenishing lipids, reducing irritation, and promoting regeneration. Each of these five formulations fulfills a clearly defined task – without overwhelming the skin. This is, we say with all our hearts, a perfect winter routine that gives the skin exactly what it needs. Nothing more, nothing less.
