Winter is one of the seasons where the skin damage tends to be higher than the rest of the year; dryness, itchiness, redness, and dehydration are the most common unwanted skin conditions we find during these months.
Being the skin’s largest organ in contact with the environment, it is susceptible to suffer direct damage from the weather. Therefore, it is important to adapt your skincare depending on the weather conditions. Dryness is the most evident change, being more susceptible to Rosacea and Eczema.
What changes besides dry skin can my skin show during winter?
If your skin lacks hydration, it will become fragile, producing in most cases itchiness and cracks that can lead to bacteria and dirt penetration causing skin infections. The best way to prevent it is by adding moisturizer daily, especially in the most exposed areas like your hands and face.
Follow these recommendations to avoid skin damage during winter:
- Avoid taking long showers or baths with hot water.
- Cover your skin if you are exposed to extreme temperatures.
- Add niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to your skin routine.
- Add a lip balm to prevent lip damage.
- Never skip your sunscreen, even if you see it is cloudy or is snowing as UV light can reflect in the snow and cause damage to the skin.
