The cold, not content to be unpleasant, also turns out to dry out our skin. We have all already felt a tightness effect, redness or an 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, colder climate and certainly the wind are among the aggravating factors of dehydration. The water contained in the skin tissue evaporates faster. The body, when exposed to cold, retains heat near the organs, which removes heat from the extremities of the body. (So hands, face and feet in particular).
The heating does not help because it dries out the atmosphere, as well as the hot-cold alternations which shock the body and force it to return to its temperature.
At the level of the body, the friction of clothes dries the skin and very hot baths do not help. It is advisable not to exceed body temperature (37°).
How to have the skin of the cutaneous dryness?
It is essential to adapt your beauty routine to this new season.
Start by opting for a moisturizing makeup remover (in the form of milks or oils, if you have dry skin).
Then, it is advisable to adopt an even more moisturizing cream, equipped with moisturizing active ingredients to
counterbalance external aggressions and protect the protective layer of the skin -its hydrolipidic film-. We can advise you on Vivacy Intense Moisturizing Cream.
In addition, it is essential not to forget the sunscreen, even in winter!
Not only are UV rays always present in winter, but it's also the right time to perform peels and exfoliate your skin to limit its dead cells!
If you have chapped lips, it may help to apply lip balm to moisturize. The lip balm Lips protect de Vivacy is very nourishing and will intensely protect your lips thanks to the combo of these 3 active ingredients: hyaluronic acid, castor oil, and shea butter.
