How to care for your skin in cold weather

1. Gentle cleansing, avoid excessive degreasing

In cold weather, the skin's own oil secretion will decrease to protect the skin from the dry air outside. Therefore, when choosing cleansing products, you should give priority to mild, low-foaming, soap-free products, and avoid using overly strong cleansing products to avoid excessive removal of oil on the skin surface,

causing the skin to become drier.

2. Moisturize and lock in moisture to create a moisturizing barrier

Moisturizing is the key to winter skin care. Choose moisturizing products containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and natural oils (such as squalane and shea butter). They can effectively lock in moisture, form a protective film, reduce moisture evaporation, and keep the skin hydrated. Use moisturizing essence and cream in the morning and evening, and use moisturizing masks if necessary to provide deep nourishment for the skin.

3. Strengthen protection and resist cold invasion

Cold and dry air can easily make the skin fragile and sensitive. When going out, remember to apply a day cream with SPF value to protect against UV damage (even on cloudy days, UV rays still exist). At the same time, using skin care products containing antioxidant ingredients (such as vitamin C and vitamin E) can help the skin resist free radical damage and maintain skin elasticity and luster.

4. Maintain a suitable room temperature and avoid excessive temperature differences

Indoor temperatures that are too high or too low will have adverse effects on the skin. Keep the indoor temperature moderate, avoid long-term exposure to high or low temperatures, and reduce the irritation of the skin caused by the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Use a humidifier to maintain indoor humidity, which will help relieve dry skin.

5. Eat a reasonable diet, both inside and outside

Diet is also an important part of skin care. In winter, you should consume more foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and Omega-3 fatty acids, such as carrots, citrus fruits, nuts, fish, etc. These foods help enhance the skin barrier function and promote skin health. At the same time, maintain adequate water intake and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to nourish the skin from the inside out.

6. Gentle massage to promote blood circulation

Regular facial massage can promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, help the skin excrete toxins, and enhance the skin's elasticity and luster. Use massage cream or essential oil containing natural oils, massage your face with gentle techniques, and enjoy the warmth and relaxation in winter.
