Dry skin in winter: how to take care of it

Do you suffer from dry skin in winter? According to experts, this is because the cold weather and dry air cause the outermost layers of skin cells to shrink, leading to that texture that the skin gets in winter, causing an increased risk of inflammation, sensitivity and even irritation. Here are some tips to ensure healthy skin this cold season.

How to take care of dry skin in winter

Facial skin - To avoid dry skin in winter, you need to moisturize your face more. After washing your skin with water (prefer cold water) and a little soap, use products with hyaluronic acid and other active ingredients that protect the skin.

Body skin - To enhance the absorption of body moisturizer, dermatologists recommend applying it as soon as you get out of the shower, while your skin is still slightly damp. Moisturizers with vegetable oils are a good choice.

Hair - The scalp is also skin, so it also needs care in winter! At this time of year, hairdryers are used more frequently and to avoid overheating the area, which can cause even more serious burns, avoid using hairdryers too close to the scalp and use heat protectors.
