A common problem during the cold season is dry skin due to low temperatures, which in addition to causing discomfort such as itching or even peeling, gives the dermis a dull and stiff appearance.
How do you get to this state and appearance? The cold constricts the capillaries, so not enough oxygen and nutrients reach the dermis. Furthermore, the epidermis does not renew itself as quickly and dead cells accumulate. The result is dull, tight and more sensitive skin .
There are small daily actions that we can take at this time of year to reduce the damage of low temperatures on our skin:
- Moisturize your skin daily and several times a day, especially if you have problems such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis.
- Sudden changes in temperature increase the risk of dilated capillaries or spider veins, that is, when going from the cold of the street to the heat of heating an indoor space. Moderate the temperature if possible.
- Even if the cold makes you want a hot bath, try to bathe with warm water , as high-temperature water dries out the skin a lot.
- Don't forget to wear gloves if your fingers or knuckles are injured, or they tend to feel very cold and turn bruised.
- Do not use very foaming soaps to wash your face and body. Opt for sulfate-free cleaners with softening active ingredients.
- If you wash your hands with cold water repeatedly, apply a hand cream each time you finish; Cold water dries out the skin.
- Avoid tobacco and alcohol, they generate free radicals that dehydrate the dermis.
- Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and antioxidants . Drink between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day.
- In winter he also wears sunglasses , the solar radiation this season affects the skin around the eyes, which is especially delicate.
