Cold is not only an unpleasant discomfort, but also a serious risk factor for premature skin aging. In the cold season, the skin usually becomes drier: it dehydrates faster, becomes more irritated, and begins to peel off. Therefore, winter cosmetics must necessarily contain components that will protect the skin from adverse weather factors ─ fats and vitamins. The nourishing and protective properties of such care will prevail over the caring and moisturizing properties. The consistency of the product will also be different: not light, gel-like and slightly cool, but dense, rich, velvety, because the content of oils and fats in the nutritious cream reaches 70-75%. It will protect the skin from chapping, frostbite and dehydration with a mechanical barrier - a thin invisible film on its surface. Until it's not too late,Refill your cosmetic bag with nutrients with glycerin, panthenol and oils (jojoba, avocado, shea butter are ideal).
It is great if, in addition, the care is saturated with vitamins (A, E), plant extracts, hyaluronic acid ─ they will work to strengthen the epidermis and restore its protective forces.
Take note: when in winter the skin is literally desperately drying out, choose products designed for the "neighboring" type (with a bias towards dryness), which will protect their own epidermis well on a frosty day. What does it mean? If you have normal skin, try a cream designed for dry to very dry skin in winter. Those with combination skin can switch to cosmetics for normal skin, and those with oily skin for combination skin. It remains to choose your option from our list of effective and affordable tools.
