PROTECT
YOUR SKIN FROM THE COLD WITH PROPER CARE
Cracked and rough skin? Don't give the cold a chance - with
our care tips, and you can look forward to rosy times.
What does the cold weather mean for you? Oversized, fluffy
scarves and hoods? Tasting hot chocolate in your desired cafe? Finally, turn on
the fireplace in the living room while listening to Nat King Cole's songs?
With winter and snow-covered roofs, a romantic mood often
arises - but the season sometimes doesn't quite meet all expectations. We often
forget the little annoyances: for example, the car windows de-ice every
morning, or snow-covered shoes and damp socks.
And worst of all: Watching your skin gradually get dry and
cracked - and having no idea what to do about it.
Of course, we can't stop the cold, but at least your skin
will stay soft and healthy with our care tips.
1. Buy a humidifier
If you don't previously have one built into your heater, it
is high time you invested in a humidifier. It improves the humidity and
prevents skin and eyes from becoming too dry. Just don't forget to change the
water daily and clean once a week - unclean vapor can be dangerous for people
with breathing difficulties.
2. Forget about dryness with magic creams
Switch your hand cream to a richer mixture with SPF (even if
it's cold, the sun is still up there somewhere) and use soap with aloe vera,
which prevents the skin from drying out.
Invest in an alpha-hydroxide acid deep cleanser and use it
every day to stimulate cell renewal and remove dead skin cells. First, for
chapped or dry lips, gently exfoliate them with a toothbrush and then apply a
fatty oil, for example, Vaseline.
3. Turn the heating down
Even if a hot shower sounds tempting after a long day or a
walk in the cold, it's not good for your skin: the hot water naturally reduces
oils and creates an unhealthy, shiny, coarse complexion. Wash-down your hands
in cold water and take shorter, cool showers - 10 minutes in lukewarm water
should be enough.
4. It all depends on the right time
After the shower is the perfect moment to do something
against skin damage - the pores are open and respond better to care. Start by
dabbing your skin gently instead of rubbing it with the towel - if the skin
stays a little damp, can restore oils.
After that, apply a rich moisturizer to your skin that will
protect it from drying out. If you're not sure which cream is best, choose one
that contains beeswax and shea butter - both smell heavenly and work wonders
for your complexion.
5. Clothing as protective armor
You can also protect your skin with the right clothing. It
is better to wear long-sleeved cotton shirts under your sweater, as some fabric
fibers can irritate the skin. For example, Wool can attack your skin's
protective layer and release moisture, so wool dress should be avoided.
Clothing with a hood against the cold weather is also highly
recommended - this protects not only your scalp but also the ears and face
(which is often forgotten).
6. Drink lots of water
You can never go wrong with the water. Even without heat,
you should drink enough water to keep your skin
and body hydrated.
7. You are what you eat
It's true: you are automatically warmed from within with the
right diet. These include foods rich in omega-3 fats, such as fish, olive oil,
and nuts - and you can recharge your immune system with goodies such as dark
chocolate, pomegranates, and walnuts.
Fruits and vegetables provide essential antioxidants that
counteract cell aging and multiply saturated fats - like in avocados and
various seeds - make your skin supple.
