With autumn in full swing and winter approaching, we often find that our skin and nails need some extra attention. Dry air, colder temperatures, and changed lifestyle habits can take their toll on our skin barrier and nails.

In this comprehensive article, we compile the most important skin and nail care tips, especially for the colder months.
In autumn, the air becomes drier, both outside due to lower humidity and inside due to heating. This can result in dry, tight skin and brittle nails that split or break more easily. At HFL Laboratories, we understand how important it is to address these changes with the right products and habits.
Both your skin and nails need hydration to stay healthy and strong.
Use a rich, moisturising cream
Our DermaSecret Day Cream is perfect for the face, while the Sensafin Body lotion provides your body with optimal protection and hydration. These products not only protect against the cold, but also strengthen the natural skin barrier. Want more intensive hydration? Then choose our Dermoleen Cream with 10% urea, the ultimate solution for dry skin.
Hands and nails deserve extra attention
Your hands are often the most exposed to cold and dry air. Use a nourishing hand cream and combine it with Dadi Oil to keep your nails moisturised and supple. This will prevent them from breaking or splitting.
In autumn, the skin barrier is weakened by cold, wind and dry air, leading to irritation and dehydration. Proper protection is therefore essential.
Nourishing care products
Choose products that not only moisturise, but also contain nourishing ingredients such as glycerine, shea butter and ceramides. These help keep your skin soft and supple.
Shower in moderation
Although a long, hot shower is tempting, it dries out the skin. Rather opt for lukewarm showers and finish with our Sensafin Bodylotion for optimal protection and hydration. If your skin needs extra care, Dermoleen Cream is the most hydrating option within our range.
Clean gently
Use a mild, pH-neutral cleanser like HFL Bodygel to wash your skin without taking away its natural oils. This gel is also suitable for washing your hair and scalp, especially if you have dandruff or flakes.
Nail care
Use a soft file to maintain your nails and avoid filing nails that are too short. Combine this with a nourishing oil like Dadi Oil to keep your nails supple and prevent breakage.
A healthy diet is important for the health of your skin and nails. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins like A, C and E, these nutrients help your skin stay hydrated and recover faster.
Care for your feet
Don't forget your feet! In autumn, when we often wear closed shoes, the risk of dehydration and fungi is higher.
Hydrate your feet too
Use our Dermoleen Cream to keep the skin on your feet soft and moisturised, especially if you suffer from cracked heels.
Preventing fungi
Prevent fungus by ventilating well and changing socks regularly. Our HFL Solution Spray helps prevent mould between the toes.
Want your skin to stay healthy and glowing despite the cold months? Consider a self-tanner for a healthy glow. For an extra boost, take a footbath with the HFL Refreshing Footbath for refreshment and care.
