Dry skin suffers in the winter. Even if she did well during the year, during the winter her lipid coat weakens significantly, and the delicate layer of epidermis dries, peels turns red and burns. How to help yourself and your dry skin? First of all, moisturize it from the inside and outside, as well as protect it from wind and frost.
Dry skin is thin and sensitive. Very often it wrinkles because it has little water and elasticity. Dry skin ages the fastest of all skin types. The owners of such skin are usually blondes with a light complexion, women over 40, as well as the elderly. Dry skin is very sensitive to cosmetics, hard water, sun, and temperature changes. Dryness and sensitivity of the skin appear quickly because dry skin has no resistance to show how much it suffers.
The skin is moisturized with water from inside the body. If the skin dries, it means that the epidermis is leaking and not enough natural moisturizing factor, ceramides, and fats. Only a good cream that will seal the skin can moisturize your skin.
The skin dries the most in winter. You can then observe a strong burning, chilling in the cold, tightening. Lips also crack and bites appear. Rapid changes in temperature lead to irritation and bursting of blood vessels. Cold air has low humidity and this promotes the escape of water from the skin.
What creams for dry skin in winter?
Dry skin is helpless against frost. It lacks a protective lipid layer that protects oily and combination skin. In this situation, we need to build it using creams. Look for creams that contain moisturizing ingredients - especially hydrophilic (ones that retain water in the skin). The second essential element is fatty acids, i.e. ingredients that form a natural protective barrier on the skin surface. They usually come from vegetable oils (olive oil, avocado or karite butter). GLA acid is very good, which can be found in evening primrose or borage oil, as well as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, urea, amino acids, paraffin, and vegetable oils.
For dry, mature skin, cholesterol cream will be great.
Let's look for cosmetics containing waxes or eucerine, which replace the protective layer of the skin and prevent water from escaping, also when we enter the heated and dry room in which we work. Instead of so-called creams '' fat '' choose '' half fat ''. Very thick masses are almost impossible to spread, they remain on the skin indefinitely because they cannot absorb it.
Dry skincare in winter
Moisturize
Apply a very moisturizing cream to your face at least twice a day. Apply the foundation only when the cream is absorbed.
Moisturize (and take care of) the skin under the eyes. Young people also need anti-wrinkle cream or a moisturizing eye gel that will not burden the skin.
Apply a moisturizing mask to your face, neck, and hands at least once a week. Do not go outside immediately after applying the cream or mask, because softened skin easily freezes.
Wash your face with lukewarm, not hot water. Wash the dishes in lukewarm water and avoid long, hot baths. The hot temperature leaches lipids, which are part of the fat protective barrier of the skin.
Do not use salts, foams and bath lotions that smell beautiful, but dry the skin. In winter, use deeply moisturizing bath oils or paste a few teaspoons of olive oil into the tub.
Avoid gels, foams and face skin cleansers. Their ingredients are irritating to sensitive, dry skin. In winter, try to switch to mild care - choose only natural, organic soaps (not washing cubes). Perform makeup removal with OCM oils (even ordinary oil).
After each washing, dry the skin with a clean towel. Apply a face towel, place it, do not rub the skin. You can also use disposable paper towels.
Do not use alcohol or tonics with alcohol to disinfect spots. Use natural oils (e.g. tamanu oil) to heal minor lesions.
What harms dry skin in winter?
The dry wind is damaged by both strong wind and frost, as well as heating indoors. In addition to protecting the skin with cream, you can buy an air humidifier (as long as you are not allergic to dust mites). Also try to ventilate the rooms in the house, turn on radiators in the bedroom and heating in the car at night.
Never allow dehydration. The skin loves to drink, so you should get used to drinking large amounts of water during the day (at least two liters). We are talking here about ordinary mineral water, not tea, coffee, and sweetened juices. Also, try to eat properly. Add salads with oil to your diet (olive oil is a golden remedy for dry skin), fatty fish, seafood, vegetable oils.
