The cold season is an extreme test for our skin. It is negatively affected not only from the outdoors, but also from the indoors. Outdoors, it is affected by cold wind, prickly frost, dry air due to central heating, and temperature extremes. In addition, during this period, metabolic processes are significantly slowed down. The skin experiences the deficiency of vitamins and nutritional agents. Special vitamin complexes, the action of which is aimed at improvement of skin state, can replenish their deficiency.
However, it is necessary to use special products for protection against negative external influences. They not only create a protective barrier, but also nourish the skin with essential elements.
What happens to the skin during cold season
Cold wind, frost, snow, central heating, washing with too warm or even hot water provide bad influence not only on the upper skin layers, but also the cell regeneration and renewal processes occurring in the deep layers of epidermis. In addition, blood circulation and lymph flow are disturbed, and skin experiences dehydration. As a result, there are appeared microcracks and peeling, redness and irritation. The skin looks dull and lifeless; as a result, the wrinkles appear.
During this period, there are also significant changes of the sebaceous glands functioning: the sebaceous secretion significantly reduces. In the case of oily skin, if the situation is not aggravated, it significantly improves its state; the oily sheen is removed. In case of normal or dry skin, the situation is much worse. The skin looks dull and lifeless, experiences the premature aging.
During the cold season, regardless of the skin type, first of all, it required intensive nourishment and protection.
