How to take care of your skin when it's cold and windy outside?

Low temperatures, cold, wind... all of these make the skin more prone to irritation. How to take care of sensitive skin? How to protect it from adverse weather conditions? See what creams and other beauty products you should have on hand.

In the cold months of the year, it is worth taking care not only of the face, which is most exposed to low temperatures, but also of the whole body. Hidden under many layers of clothing, it still reacts to the cold and the skin is more prone to drying out. So make sure you have at least one product from the categories listed below in your makeup bag.

Face cream

When we are cold, we take a blanket and want to hide under it, keep warm. It is the same with the skin of the face, which is extremely sensitive and exposed to weather conditions - cold, wind, pollution. She will also need protection from the cold. Therefore, when the weather does not spoil us, we choose a more nutritious cream formula - more “heavy”, oily, which leaves a slightly thicker protective layer on the face. All because of low temperatures and wind, which can have a very detrimental effect on the epidermis. When looking for the perfect formula, pay attention first of all to nourishing cosmetics (for the day), winter creams (let's not influence the name! In spring and autumn they should be cosmetic) and regenerating (especially at night). For example, products such as:

• Lirene Nourishing Cream is ideal when the wind blows, creating a protective layer for the delicate skin of the face. Recommended for cold walks and sports;
• Sopelek Floslek - a protective cream for children, babies and not only - protects against cold, harsh climate and sunlight. Recommended in autumn, spring and winter before each exit to the street;
• Protective cream Emolium - specially designed for sensitive skin, for people with dilated capillaries, especially exposed to adverse weather conditions;
• Clinique Superdefense - Suitable for dry, very dry and combination to dry skin. In addition to a rich moisturizing and nourishing complex, it offers an SPF 20 filter - which is equally important in summer and winter cosmetics;
• Nutri Gold Oil Ritual for the night, L'Oreal Paris is a cream mask that will allow your skin to regenerate at night.

You can also replace the cream with a special regenerating oil, such as the iconic Bio Face and Body Oil. Moreover, do not forget about the eye cream - it is here that the skin of the face is the most delicate and sensitive to irritation.

Body lotion

Your body needs just as much attention as your face. On cold days, when we wear warm clothes and the skin does not have direct contact with the air, it is worth moisturizing and “oxygenating” it. Apply a suitable balm at least once a day, for example after a morning or evening shower. As with face and body creams, moisturizing, regenerating and nourishing formulas are best suited. A good choice would be, for example, Evree body lotion with mango butter, allantoin and glycerin or Golden Oils Bielenda ultra-moisturizing body butter with three nourishing oils in the composition.

Lip balm

Chapped, dry lips are a nightmare for many of us, especially in winter and beyond, when the skin loses moisture faster. To prevent this from happening, make sure you have a good quality lip balm in your makeup bag that is soothing, moisturizing and lubricating. If your lips are already irritated, Nivea Lip Care Med Repair is a good choice to help the epidermis recover. You can also use the EOS balm, loved by millions of people around the world, or if you want to give your lips a little color, like AA Caring Lip Oil.

Hand cream

The hands are exposed to an unpleasant external aura, as is the face, especially when you forget to wear gloves or no longer use them. And in the spring there is often wind, rain and an unpleasant aura. To prevent frostbite, irritation and roughness, you need the right cream – preferably in a small handy package that will accompany you throughout the day.

• Garnier Intensive Care - with allantoin and glycerin;
• Extra-Soft SOS Eveline is ideal when your hands have already been irritated and you want to restore softness and smoothness to them;

At night, you can use, for example, a paraffin hand treatment with Marion peeling and mask, thanks to which you will get rid of dead skin and smooth your hands, and then restore their softness. After applying the mask, you can put on cotton gloves, which will make hand regeneration even more effective.

Foot cream

Now is the time to take care of your feet and get them ready for summer. When they are hidden in shoes and thick socks, you can think, for example, of exfoliating excess epidermis - Estemedis exfoliating socks will help, for example. Don't forget to moisturize them too - use, for example, Dr Konopka's regenerating cream or L'Occitaine enriched with nourishing shea butter.

It's worth taking care of yourself!
