Our skin hydration loss is the most frequent result of low temperatures. Therefore, in fact, it is winter when more water loses our skin.
What is the cause of dehydration? The cold causes capillary vasoconstriction, which slows cell regeneration . If the proportion of dead cells in the epidermis is high, it is difficult for the sebum secretion to smooth the upper layer of the skin and nourish it.
Other factors contribute to dehydration of the skin in autumn and winter, such as the low humidity of the environment due to heating.
The specific effect is to keep our skin more dry and sensitive. As a result, the elasticity that causes wrinkles is reduced. In some more sensitive cases it can cause cheek peeling or even redness (as a result of sudden temperature changes).
Tips for cleaning your face in winter
In winter, daily skin care and hydration care must be taken to keep the lipid-lipid layer in place.
Daily cleaning is essential for our facial care because it can remove traces of contaminants, dust, residual cosmetics, sweat, sebum secretion and keratinized cells. It is advisable to clean up when we wake up or before going to bed to make up and remove these impurities from the skin.
Some recommendations to keep in mind to clean our face:
- Use a neutral detergent that does not contain soap. The recommended one is recommended for sensitive skin.
- Read the product specifications. Ideally, choose detergent-based Syndets or non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants and use an acidic leaching pH of 5 to 5.5 (the use of neutral pH is not recommended).
- Remove the cleaner from the rest using a slightly damp towel.
- This can be counterproductive, so avoid frequent face washing and promote dry skin.
- Apply it between cleansing cosmetics and other treatment products we use to incorporate tonics into our cleaning routine. In this way we can restore the natural pH of our skin.
- If you have thick or greasy skin, we recommend that you gently remove the skin regularly. This will reduce the accumulation of dead cells giving an opaque and greyish appearance.
Other tips to protect your skin from the cold
Apply moisturizing cream once a day and be careful to maintain hydration and skin nutrition (for very dry skin, do it 2-3 times a day) ). Since the dermis is more delicate in the periocular area, it is also important to apply some cosmetics to the eye contour.
Another tip to remember is to protect the area from the cold with sunglasses when we go out of its favor regeneration.
Finally, it is best to apply regenerative cosmetics before going to bed to stimulate our skin renewal process so that you can take full care of our skin during fall and winter Recommended. themeWinter autumn fur
