Winter Care: How to keep skin and hair healthy on cold days

The arrival of winter brings challenges to our well-being, especially for our skin and hair, which are more exposed to dry air and the use of hot showers. To keep health and appearance up to date without complicating your routine, we have prepared five fundamental guidelines.

Self-care tips for the winter

• Facial hydration
  Apply a facial moisturizer specific to your skin type right after using facial cleanser, taking advantage while the skin is still slightly damp.
  Opt for denser or creamy textures, as they usually offer a greater protective barrier against cold wind.
• Lip protection
  Keep a lip balm handy and apply it several times a day, especially before leaving home.
  Avoid licking your lips when you feel they are dry, as saliva can accelerate peeling.
• Body hydration
  When leaving the bath, use a body moisturizer all over your body, focusing on critical areas like elbows and knees.
  Reduce the temperature of the bathwater, as very water hot can remove the skin's natural protective layer.
• Hair care
  Reduce the frequency of washes and use conditioners or nourishing masks to replenish lost lipids.
  Use a finishing oil on the ends to seal cuticles and reduce the dry and frizzy hair look.
• Cuticles and hands
  Apply a specific hand cream or vegetable oils to cuticles and nails daily.
  When doing housework, wear gloves to avoid direct contact with chemical agents and excessive cold.

In case of persistent irritation, severe flaking, or extreme sensitivity, seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
