The skin is a mirror of our health and well-being, which should be taken care of with special love. The skin should be pampered in every season, but skin care becomes particularly relevant in autumn and winter, when we face various challenges - wind, rain, frost, and skin care needs to be paid more attention.

Facial skin care experts share beauty secrets on how to best care for your skin in the cold season:

• In order to protect the skin's protective barrier, which has to work especially powerfully in the winter season, you should choose gentler products for facial cleansing. The choice is quite wide – micellar water that does not dry the skin, foaming cleanser with a creamy consistency, milk or tonic. On the other hand, for body care, preference should be given to products that will cleanse and moisturize the skin at the same time - cream products and shower oils will be great;
• Sometimes we want to use scrubs to get rid of dead skin cells. However, they are not recommended because they cause microtraumas in the skin, thereby destroying the skin's natural protective barrier. To stimulate intense skin cell renewal, lotions, serums and creams containing acids or exfoliating wipes are recommended;
• In cold weather, the blood vessels in the skin narrow; this means that it is not getting enough oxygen. The skin will be grateful if you choose face and body care creams that contain active substances such as oxygen, omega 3 fatty acids, as well as vitamins A and E. These ingredients will both restore the skin and improve the protective functions. The golden value is vitamin B3 or niacinamide, which improves skin immunity, reduces redness, helps regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands, and thus the liver.

So that he does not have to experience chapped lips and dry, cracked palm skin, dermatologists recommend:

• In order not to dry the lips excessively, it is recommended to use lip balm every time before going out into the fresh air;
• In order not to dry the body skin and not to lose its protective function, it is recommended not to take a hot shower. Face and body skin care products, moisturizing creams that contain substances that attract moisture - glycerin and hyaluronic acid, and emollients that retain water in the skin and protect the skin from external environmental influences are suitable for maintaining skin moisture.
• It is important not to forget about the skin of the eyes, which is the thinnest on the body. Especially irritating to the skin in cold weather is the sweat that gets on this thin eye skin during sports. To protect it, eye creams with hyaluronic acid, herbal antioxidants and vitamins C and E will help.
