Dry skin in winter occurs as the temperature around us changes. There are large temperature differences between the cold air outside and the warm heating air inside. As a result, the skin can feel a little drier and more sensitive than usual. Feelings of tension, irritation and itching can also be reactions to the change. The heating air in particular promotes dehydration of the skin and thus leads to a reduction in the protective function. If you do not counteract this with a rich care product, the skin can even become cracked.
6 tips against dry skin in winter
- Strengthen your skin barrier so that the skin can better protect itself from environmental influences. Important: Don’t forget sun protection, even in winter!
- Make sure that your winter skin care products contain active ingredients that regenerate the skin, such as ceramides or panthenol.
- Protect your skin from drying out with additional or richer care. Facial oils or body butter can help with this.
- Provide the skin with sufficient moisture. Masks, for example, can help to provide the skin with more moisture. Therefore, apply it more frequently in the winter months than in the summer.
- Your hands also need extra protection in winter. If you have particularly dry skin on your hands, apply a rich cream generously to your hands and leave it on like a mask.
- Don’t forget lips! Because they become brittle and cracked more quickly due to the cold winter air and intensive heating air.
