Skin regeneration after winter - how to care for dry skin?

Winter low temperatures and extreme weather conditions can take their toll on the skin. Are you wondering how to restore her beautiful appearance and freshness? Here are some proven ways! We advise which creams and cheeses to use, and which beauty treatments can help restore the skin after winter.

In winter, the skin of the face is put to the test. Like hands, it is constantly exposed to external factors, which can significantly worsen its condition. On the one hand, these are very low temperatures, which can lead to redness, skin tightening, dryness and irritation. On the other hand, warm and dry air in heated rooms, which can increase the feeling of dryness, cause itching and discomfort. Let's not forget about the lack of sun, which can have a positive effect not only on mood, but also on the skin, if dosed in reasonable doses.

It is not surprising that after the winter we need a deep regeneration of the skin of the face. How to take care of it? Here are a few steps that will help you improve her condition not only superficially, but also in deeper layers.

Step one: peeling

Otherwise exfoliation. After winter, it is worth doing them on dry skin to remove dead epidermal cells. They can block pores, as well as make the skin rough and make it difficult for active substances to reach the deeper layers. If you really want to restore your complexion, this is the best place to start.

What to use for this purpose? Below you will find our offers. Remember that the listed substances cannot be mixed with each other, since in combination they can have a too concentrated effect, very dry skin of the face may react badly to them.

acid

An ideal way to exfoliate and regenerate the epidermis. The end of winter is the perfect time to use them. Acid therapy is not recommended in spring or summer due to the increased intensity of sunlight. UV radiation can cause discoloration of the skin due to acids, so they are recommended for use in winter.

It's best to use milder PHAs, or perhaps AHAs, that won't irritate dry skin after winter. What products to choose? For mature skin, we recommend AVA Youth Activator Serum.

For different skin types, Bielenda Professional cream with AHA and PHA acids is well suited, and for a stronger effect, Bielenda peeling with 4% mandelic acid is also suitable.

retinol

Mature skin will especially benefit from retinol therapy as this ingredient also has anti-wrinkle properties. Unlike acids, it can be used all year round. Retinol brightens, smoothes and exfoliates, which is sure to benefit your skin after winter.

Enzyme peels

An excellent way to exfoliate the skin without the need for mechanical treatment, which involves the use of fine-grained peels or microdermabrasion. This makes it also an ideal solution for sensitive skin.

If your skin is prone to hyper-reactivity, we recommend Dermiki Clean & More gentle scrub with natural chicory extract. Lovers of natural ingredients will appreciate the Vis Plantis Helix Vital Care formula with papain and snail mucus filtrate, also suitable for sensitive skin. If you are looking for a concentrated effect, check out the Melo peeling formula with papain, bromelain, pomegranate extract and vitamin C.

Step two: moisturize

Deep hydration is what your dry facial skin needs after the winter season. During each exfoliating treatment - whether at home or in a beauty salon - she should be served a cocktail of highly moisturizing substances, which, thanks to exfoliation, can disappear much deeper. What ingredients to look for?

Aloe and bamboo gel

A great solution if you want to moisturize and soothe your skin at the same time. Both aloe vera and bamboo also have regenerative properties and speed up healing. Don't know which gels to choose? If you are looking for the most concentrated formula, we recommend Skin99 Eveline 79% Aloe Gel or Dermiko Aloes Lanzarote Eco Gel. 99% of the bamboo gels in their offer are from the G-Synergie and The Saem brands.

Algae extract

A very popular moisturizing ingredient in creams and masks. Do you need a face cream for dry skin? The AVA Snow Alga moisturizing complex or the Farmona blue algae moisturizing cream-gel are ideal here.

Other ingredients that deeply hydrate the skin include honey, fructose, hyaluronic acid, and urea.

Step Three: Lubrication

After winter, the skin's protective barrier can be broken. In addition to moisturizing, it is also necessary to restore its lipid layer. For this, various emollients are suitable. These moisturizing ingredients can weigh you down, so if you have acne-prone skin, look for lightweight oils and avoid non-penetrating formulas like paraffin that can clog pores.

For oily and combination skin, we recommend squalane as an emollient, a substance obtained from olives or sugar cane, which is part of human sebum. This is a very lightweight, non-overloading moisturizer that locks moisture into your skin.
