You've probably already noticed that winter is very cold, right? And that you can't live without heating. If so, you'll have noticed that your skin has changed. You'll find it
duller,
tighter,
more sensitive, and, above all, you'll feel that your
skin is dry. So...
WHY IS MY SKIN DRY IN WINTER? The cold and the wind damage your skin, but we also have another enemy...
heating!!! These three factors cause
the hydration in our epidermis to gradually disappear, leading to dryness, redness, cracks, and irritation in our skin. But, if you also have sensitive skin, your dermis will suffer more due to sudden changes in temperature.
SO, WHAT CAN I DO TO AVOID DRY SKIN? Whether you're still in time to prevent your skin from suffering, or if you've already reached the point where dryness has appeared on your skin, you need to plan a
daily routine to prevent damage from low temperatures on your complexion: 1.
REGULATE THE TEMPERATURE GRADUALLY. If you come in from the cold street and turn the heating up to maximum, your capillaries will suffer a lot and may dilate.
Control the temperature, if possible, to prevent your skin from suffering.

REPLACE THE WORD "HOT" IN YOUR DICTIONARY WITH "LUKEWARM". Although it's what you crave most on these cold days, hot water is one of your worst enemies. Showering or washing with hot water will cause the good oils in your skin to disappear. For this reason, use lukewarm water to preserve natural lipids and maintain skin softness.
3.WINTER IS SYNONYMOUS WITH DRINKING WATER. To eliminate dry skin, the easiest way is to
hydrate it daily. It's very important to hydrate your skin from within by
drinking between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day. But water means water!!! Alcohol or caffeine will never be synonymous with water; on the contrary, they will promote dryness and suffering of the skin. 4.
HUMIDIFY. Winter air is dry and, along with the air, it absorbs moisture from the skin. A
humidifier will prevent the ravages of this time of year, keeping the skin more hydrated and protecting it from the dryness caused by heating.
5."IF YOU WANT TO AVOID DRYNESS, EAT REAL FOOD." Vegetables and fruits will also be your friends when it comes to avoiding dry skin, especially those that provide a large amount of water, such as
oranges, melon, watermelon, kiwi, tomato, cucumber, celery, or carrots. Also include
olive oil, legumes, or salmon, as these foods are rich in
Omega-3, a polyunsaturated fat that keeps our cells young and well-lubricated.
