Winter Skincare Ritual: Kim van der Veer's warming skin routine
Winter demands something different from our skin. Cold, wind, and dry air can throw the skin out of balance, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and a dull complexion. Especially during this time, it's essential to protect, nourish, and strengthen your skin—because protected skin is beautiful skin, with a glow.
In her latest Instagram video, Kim van der Veer , Ayurvedic lifestyle coach, shares her personal winter skincare ritual using products from Rawceuticals and emerginC. A routine that focuses not only on the skin's appearance but also on rest, balance, and recovery.
Kim van der Veer's vision on skin care
Kim wanted to restore her troubled and uneven skin to a healthy, radiant, and balanced state. From her Ayurvedic perspective, she believes that skincare goes beyond just products: it's a ritual that combines mindfulness, seasonal influences, and self-care.
Last summer, Kim developed a ritual with our vitamin C serum that visibly transformed her skin. The results were striking: increased clarity, a more even skin texture, and a natural glow. For winter, the focus consciously shifts to warmth and protection . Skin now needs softness, nourishment, and a strong barrier—so it stays resilient, even under the effects of cold and stress.
Step-by-step: Kim's winter skincare routine
Step 1: Gentle cleansing
The foundation of any good skincare routine begins with a gentle cleansing. Rawceuticals Clean removes dirt and impurities without drying out the skin. Skin feels clean yet comfortable—perfectly prepared for the next steps.
Why it's essential in winter: Overly aggressive cleansing can damage the skin barrier and worsen dryness.
Step 2: Calm & Balance
This toner restores the skin's pH and has a calming effect thanks to lavender. Ideal for redness, sensitivity, and stress-related skin reactions that are more common in winter.
Tip: Apply the toner by gently pressing it into the skin with your hands for extra hydration.
Step 3: Gentle exfoliation & nourishment
Rawceuticals – Red Berry Dual Mask & Gommage
In winter, cell turnover slows down, which can lead to dull skin. This dual formula gently exfoliates and intensely nourishes simultaneously. Red berry antioxidants support regeneration and protect against external influences.
Result: Fresh, smooth skin while maintaining comfort and hydration.
Step 4: Active skin improvement
emerginC – Multi Vitamin + Retinol Serum
Retinol is perfect for the winter months. This serum stimulates collagen, refines skin texture, and supports an even complexion. Thanks to the combination of vitamins, the skin remains balanced and less prone to irritation.
Important: Always use an SPF during the day, even in winter.
Step 5: Intensive care
This step is all about repair and nourishment. Rawceuticals Blend supports the skin barrier and provides essential nutrients that help maintain suppleness and resilience.
Step 5 (Alternative): Protect & Seal
The final step in Kim's ritual. This rich, yet easily absorbed oil seals in all the active ingredients and protects the skin from moisture loss. Skin feels soft, nourished, and comfortable—with a healthy winter glow.
Conclusion
Kim van der Veer's winter skincare ritual is an ode to attention, protection, and seasonally conscious skincare . By combining gentle cleansing, targeted active ingredients, and nourishing textures, the skin stays balanced—even during the coldest months.
