Skincare in Amsterdam
Natural skincare for Amsterdam
Amsterdam – canals, bicycles, and eternal dampness. North Sea wind, hard water, and a climate that never quite makes up its mind challenge your skin year-round. Free shipping over €60.
What Amsterdam does to your skin
Amsterdam sits below sea level and the climate reflects it. Humidity is high year-round, but that doesn't mean your skin is hydrated – quite the opposite. North Sea wind carries salt and lashing rain that breaks down the skin barrier. Amsterdam's cyclists – which is everyone – expose their faces to the elements for hours every day.
Dutch tap water is moderately hard and the calcium content can irritate sensitive skin. Winters aren't extremely cold but rawly damp, with temperatures around zero and a penetrating moisture that makes the cold more biting. Summers are mild but unpredictable.
Skincare tips for Amsterdammers
Protect your face on the bike
You cycle everywhere – apply a barrier oil before heading out. Your skin deserves as much protection as your legs.
Walk in Vondelpark
Greenery and fresh air in the middle of the city. Regular walks measurably lower stress levels.
A shower filter helps
Amsterdam's water isn't the softest. A filter can reduce the impact of calcium on sensitive skin.
Eat Dutch – herring and cheese
Matjes herring provides omega-3s and Dutch cheeses provide protein. Simple, local skin food.
Use a humidifier in winter
Dutch homes with central heating become dry indoors. A humidifier protects the skin barrier at night.
