Care guide: how to keep skin and hair healthy in the winter

Essential care for cold weather

During the winter, low air humidity and the frequent use of hot water can compromise the natural protective barrier of the skin and hair. To avoid dryness and sensitivity, adopting a preventive care routine is the best way.

1. Facial Hydration

Focus: Face.
Action: Apply a facial moisturizer suited to your skin type right after cleansing, preferably while your face is still slightly damp.
Tip: If your skin is dry, cream or balm textures can offer a longer-lasting layer of protection.

2. Lip Protection

Focus: Lips.
Action: Use a lip balm or nourishing balm several times a day, especially before leaving the house.
Tip: Avoid licking your lips when you feel they are dry, as saliva can increase dryness.

3. Body Care

Focus: Body skin.
Action: Prioritize warm and quick showers, avoiding excessively hot water, and moisturize the body right after the shower.
Tip: Focus on areas that usually show greater dryness, such as elbows and knees, applying extra layers of moisturizer to those regions.

4. Hair Health

Focus: Hair.
Action: Use products with nourishing properties that help maintain the hair's hydration.
Tip: When using a blow dryer, always apply a thermal protectant to minimize the effects of heat on the strands.

5. Hand Hydration

Focus: Hands and cuticles.
Action: Keep a hand cream nearby and apply it every time you wash your hands.
Tip: Before sleeping, you can apply a generous layer of moisturizer to help skin recovery during sleep.

Important: If you notice persistent irritations, severe flaking, or extreme sensitivity, consult a dermatologist for a professional evaluation.
