Here's why you need to change up your winter skin care routine!

Experts say that under the influence of cold, oily skin becomes normal, normal skin becomes sensitive, and dry skin becomes even more dehydrated and requires increased attention. Cold causes vasoconstriction, so blood circulation slows down and the epidermis ceases to receive sufficient nutrition.

The effect is felt immediately because the level of oils produced by the skin is reduced and hydration is no longer carried out under optimal conditions. Moreover, the process of cell renewal at the skin level slows down, which leads to a loss of tone and elasticity of the skin, which becomes matte, without shine.

A special eye cream is used around the eyes.

Cold worsens dehydration

One of the most important skin problems during the cold season remains dehydration. This causes the appearance of fine wrinkles and gives the appearance of premature aging of the skin. Dehydration is promoted by the transition from high temperatures in air-conditioned spaces to low temperatures outside, sometimes with wind and rain. These changes are perceived by the skin as a form of aggression and affect all skin types. But people with dry skin, sensitive skin and children with atopic dermatitis suffer the most.

The best way to fight a cold is proper skin hydration, writes Effect Doctors. This is done with the help of special moisturizing and nourishing creams, as well as by drinking two liters of water a day. For normal skin, it is recommended to use a moisturizer with thermal water. For oily skin, choose an alcohol-free, astringent, toning lotion in addition to your moisturizer to avoid overly drying your face when removing makeup. Combination skin requires, in addition to moisturizing, the use of makeup remover and toning lotion for sensitive skin.

Dermatologists draw our attention to the fact that the face should not be washed too often, but a maximum of twice a day, and peeling should also be avoided at temperatures below 10 degrees. For sensitive skin, after washing, apply a cream with an oily texture, rich in nutrients that soften the skin and fight dehydration.

For skin that turns red in the cold, there are special products for sensitive skin, for redness and broken capillaries, and a dermatologist can indicate suitable dermatocosmetics. The area around the eyes, which is the first area to age and become wrinkled, also requires special attention. It is important to use special eye products and not face cream. Lips also get dry when it gets cold, and drugstores have products for dry and sensitive lips that should help you prevent brittleness and chapping.
