In colder months, keep your skin hydrated

Now, it seems that the cold is here to stay. Morning temperatures begin to tell us that winter is near. Do you notice your body’s skin dry and brittle with the cold weather arrives? It is not unusual, considering that one of the characteristics of the winter weather is the decrease in ambient humidity. The air is drier, and therefore, draws water from where it can, including the skin!

So to prevent your skin from the months ahead, take note of these recommendations.

  • If your skin is extra dry, it is very emollient soaps and fattening, like those used for atopic or serious dryness.
  • We must reduce the number of bathrooms and also its duration. Avoid spending too much time on the water, and chooses best for short showers.
  • Do not use hot water, which only serves to further weaken the hydrolipidic by dragging the natural oils in the stratum corneum.
  • After the shower and her skin were still wet, cover with a rich cream to seal the water to the skin. Do not hesitate to apply cream as often as necessary, even several times a day.
  • If you live in a dry climate zone, uses humidifiers. No need to spend big money, a good trick to life is to put a glass of water next to the radiator to evaporate and “soak” the air.
