How to care for your skin in winter

The cold has already settled into our daily lives, but we can take certain actions that will lessen the consequences of winter on our faces.

During winter, the skin is exposed to adverse conditions such as cold, wind, and humidity, which have a significant impact. Dermatologists say that seasonal changes in temperature and humidity are the main factors that affect our skin.

So, although this reaction will depend on factors such as our genetics, our skin type, or the level of exposure, we must keep in mind that to prevent our skin from reacting suddenly, we need to be prepared and consistent. And to do this, we must adjust our routine to ensure proper skin care.

How does the cold affect our skin?

The cold causes vasoconstriction in the skin's capillaries, which contract, decreasing blood flow. As a result, insufficient oxygen and nutrients reach the epidermal cells, leaving the skin looking dull and lackluster.

The cell renewal cycle is also delayed and dead cells accumulate, causing a feeling of tightness and discomfort. This layer prevents the skin's natural sebum secretion from reaching the surface to lubricate and nourish the epidermis, leaving the skin dry and sensitive.

Despite the rain and snow, air humidity tends to decrease and the environment becomes drier, causing the epidermis to deteriorate due to dehydration.

The cold thins the stratum corneum and the visible consequence is an effect similar to dry skin.

Thus, signs such as flaking, redness, itching, irritation, cracks, rough texture... can become our reality.

What can we do to minimize these skin symptoms?

STEP 1_CLEANING

Gentle, non-aggressive washes should be performed with lukewarm water to prevent temperature changes from causing spider veins.

Organic Powder Cleanser It's the best option for achieving this cleansing with the highest tolerance. Its formula of 99% natural active ingredients incorporates prebiotics that strengthen the barrier function and rebalance the skin's microbiota, minimizing irritation and reactivity on our face.

STEP 2_HYDRATION

Good hydration is the key to forming a protective barrier against external agents and climate changes.

Absolute Defense Cream It guarantees intense, long-lasting hydration with a patented active ingredient that preserves optimal levels for more than 24 hours, while maximizing protection against external aggressions and stimulating the skin's immune system.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and antioxidants, it contains Trehalose, an active ingredient that characterizes a plant known as “the resurrection plant,” which is capable of retracting under conditions of extreme dryness as if it were dead, synthesizing this active ingredient so that, when it dries, rehydrates, and sprouts again.

This active ingredient will help us achieve extra strength in terms of deep hydration, giving our skin its ability to reverse extreme dehydration conditions.
