Why does our skin dry out in cold weather?

Due to low air temperatures, the scales of the epidermis quickly die off, forming a stratum corneum, which interferes with skin respiration and, by clogging pores, causes inflammatory processes.

At this point, the process of supplying moisturizing and nourishing components is disrupted.

Turkenich Elizaveta, founder of the brand of skin care cosmetics and perfumes with unique aromas and its own production Perfume's stories, told why our skin dries out in cold weather.

What skin care steps should be followed to avoid this?

The first stage is cleansing . The composition is important: it is necessary that the shower gel not only cleanses, but also nourishes and moisturizes the skin.

The second stage is scrubbing. It is worth choosing scrubs that contain not only large particles, like sugar, but also smaller ones, so as not to injure the skin. I do not recommend using a scrub more than twice a week.

The next step is to nourish and moisturize the skin. Body cream or milk is perfect for this. For dry skin, choose a cream with a more oily texture - pay attention to the presence of wax in the composition, it may be too heavy for the body, so you need to be careful with it.

For normal, combination and oily skin, nourishing body milk is perfect - it will nourish and moisturize, but will not clog pores.

Earlier we talked about how to cope with fatigue at the end of the working day.
