Get soft, hydrated skin with the Winter Verwöhnset. Follow this 6-step routine to apply the products correctly and avoid common mistakes for lasting dry skin relief.
Quick answer
Use the Winter Verwöhnset in a specific order: start with cleansing, then apply the products from lightest to richest. This maximizes absorption and locks in moisture for all-day dry skin relief.
Why Order Matters in Your Winter Skin Care Routine
Winter air strips moisture from your skin, making a multi-step routine more effective than a single heavy cream. The Winter Verwöhnset is designed to be used in a layered sequence: thinner, water-based products first, followed by richer, oil-based ones. Applying them out of order can block absorption or leave skin feeling greasy instead of hydrated.
How to Use the Winter Verwöhnset: 6 Steps for Dry Skin Relief
- Step 1: Cleanse with lukewarm water: Wet your skin with lukewarm (not hot) water. Hot water strips natural oils, worsening dryness. Use a gentle cleanser from the set if included, or your usual mild wash. Hot water is a common mistake—it feels good but dries skin out faster.
- Step 2: Pat skin semi-dry: After cleansing, gently pat your skin with a towel until it's damp, not dripping. Applying products to damp skin helps lock in moisture. Rubbing dry removes too much moisture; patting leaves a hydrating base.
- Step 3: Apply the lightest product first: Use any toner or serum from the set (if present) or the lightest lotion. Spread a small amount over your face and body, focusing on dry areas like elbows and knees. Skipping this step means richer creams may not absorb as well.
- Step 4: Layer the body lotion or milk: Take a generous amount of the body lotion from the set and massage it into your skin using upward strokes. Pay extra attention to shins, arms, and hands. Don't rush—massaging for 30 seconds improves absorption and circulation.
- Step 5: Seal with the richest balm or butter: Use the thickest product in the set—likely a balm or butter—on very dry spots like heels, elbows, and hands. A pea-sized amount is enough for each area. Using too much balm can feel sticky; a thin layer is more effective.
- Step 6: Finish with a protective layer for hands: If the set includes a hand cream, apply it last. Otherwise, use a small amount of the balm on your hands. This helps prevent cracks and chapping from cold air and frequent washing. Reapply hand cream after every hand wash for continuous protection.
