Greek term or phrase: Ο χειμώνας ξεκίνησε για τα καλά
Ο χειμώνας ξεκίνησε για τα καλά, το κρύο, ο αέρας, οι ιώσεις, σε συνδυασμό με τη σκόνη και τους ρύπους της ατμόσφαιρας, επηρεάζουν ιδιαίτερα κάποιες επιδερμίδες. Αν παρατηρείτε την επιδερμίδα σας να κοκκινίζει στα μάγουλα, να ξεφλουδίζει, να σας τσούζει, να τραβάει ή να παρουσιάζει μικρές κοκκινίλες, μην αγχωθείτε γιατί το άγχος επιβαρύνει την κατάσταση.
Χαλαρώστε, ενισχύστε τη διατροφή σας με φρέσκα φρούτα και λαχανικά, χρησιμοποιήστε πολλά υγρά ανάμεσα στα γεύματα, χυμούς ή ροφήματα από βότανα, και περιποιηθείτε λίγο πιο προσεκτικά την επιδερμίδα σας.

  -> Thanks, Andy. You could add 'definitely', but I think the phrase is emphatic enough in itself - 'upon us' gives the idea that winter's definitely here.
