The cold, not content with being unpleasant, also proves to dry out our skin. We have all experienced a feeling of tightness, redness, or increased sensitivity to touch or friction in winter, more or less, depending on our skin type.
What can dry out the skin in winter?
In winter, the drier climate, cold temperatures, and certainly the wind are among the aggravating factors of dehydration. The water contained in the skin tissue evaporates more quickly. When exposed to the cold, the body retains heat near the organs, which removes warmth from the extremities. (Thus, the hands, face, and feet in particular).
Heating does not help at all since it dries out the atmosphere, as well as the hot-cold alternations that shock the body and force it to return to its temperature.
At the body level, the friction of clothing dries the skin and very hot baths do not help. It is advised not to exceed body temperature (37°).
How to have skin free from dryness?
It is essential to adapt your beauty routine to this new season.
Start by choosing a moisturizing makeup remover (in the form of milks or oils, if you have dry skin).
Next, it is advisable to adopt an even more moisturizing cream, equipped with moisturizing active ingredients to
counterbalance external aggressions and protect the skin's protective layer - its hydrolipidic film. We can recommend the Vivacy Intense Moisturizing Cream.
