As we all know, as the weather gets colder in the winter months, the humidity in the environment decreases. However, these seasonal changes concern our skin more than ever. Because dehumidified air also thins our skin cells. This leaves the skin vulnerable to external factors.
How to Identify Dry Skin?
• Exfoliation occurs.
• Graying of the skin color is observed.
• Lips become dry and crack or bleed.
• The skin loses its softness and becomes tense.
• Rashes occur.
• The skin loses its shine.
• Roughness occurs on the skin surface.
Why is Skin Care Important in Winter?
Cold weather damages our skin’s protective barrier. But don’t be afraid just yet!
Because it is possible to strengthen the skin barrier. However, if you do not intervene when your skin experiences slight dryness, you are in trouble. Burns, blemishes or infections may occur on the skin due to cold weather.
Skin Care Recommendations in Cold Weather
“I am a winter person”
Yes, after some rain and some wind, the “winterers” immediately made themselves known. Of course, you may love the winter season, but it is important that your skin agrees with you. 🙂 If you follow our suggestions, we are sure that your skin will love the winter season too. However, if you have a serious dryness problem, please see a specialist dermatologist #dearwinterlovers…
1. Moisturizer is a Must Have!
In your humidifier during winter; You can choose products with active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier, such as vitamins, ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. Instead of cream-form products, you can switch to more dense gel forms and increase the number of moisturizer applications to your skin during the day.
Of course, how we apply our moisturizers is as important as their content. You can have more information on this subject by reading our article “Common Mistakes When Applying Moisturizer”.
2. Moisture Masks
Moisture masks are one of the things that act as a moisture agent in winter. It is beneficial to use a moisture mask once a week to instantly moisturize your face and store moisture in cold weather.
3. Change Your Skin Care Routine in Winter
“I use the same products in summer and winter.”
Of course, you can apply the same skin care products if you think they are good for your skin. However, our skin will have different needs during the winter season. Just as we wear warm clothes in winter to stay protected and not get cold, we should also prepare our skin for winter according to its needs. You can achieve healthier skin by making small changes in our routine. For example, you can add a moisturizing serum.
4. We Don’t Forget Our Hands
Our hands are perhaps one of the parts of our body that are most affected and dried by cold weather. There are two reasons for this: One is that the skin on our hands is very thin, and the other is that it is much more exposed to the open air. We should obtain hand creams specially produced for our hands and renew our moisturizer frequently during the day.
5. Lip Protection is Very Important
In winter conditions, our lips dry, crack, peel and bleed. In order for our lips to be healthy and our make-up to look good, lip balms are on the list of things we must add to our skin care routine in winter, let us tell you 😉
6. Gentle Care
One of the things you should pay most attention to during the winter season is to take gentle care of your skin. You should avoid using harsh treatments on your skin, such as frequent scrubs and physical peelings. These applications are definitely not recommended for dry skin in winter months. Likewise, taking a shower or washing your face in very hot water is one of the wrong practices that dry out your skin. Also, we do not forget to moisturize our skin after every bath. So what did we say: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
7. Don’t Neglect Your Sunscreen
Let’s say it can’t be neglected… Our skin needs protection from the sun in winter as well as in summer. To learn more about sunscreens
