The more the temperature on the thermometer drops below zero, the less desire to go outside - of course, unless we are talking about winter activities. And the reason is not only the slush that is dangerous for shoes. Frost, snow and wind become a real test for the skin and hair and negatively affect their condition. We have collected for you the top best products for face and body care even in the most severe frosts.
Serum with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is able to attract and retain a huge number of water molecules - and do it better than any other substance. This feature makes hyaluronic acid the best skin moisturizer. This is especially important in winter: frost and bad weather outside make your face chapped, and central heating dries out the air in apartments (so, by the way, the right decision would be to buy a humidifier for your home - it is also good for breathing). In addition, sudden temperature changes (from +20 indoors to -20 outside) also have a negative effect on the skin.
It is not necessary to give preference to serum: hyaluronic acid can also be in the form of creams or gels or even be part of another product. It is important to apply it daily - this will help keep the skin in good condition even on the coldest days.
Shea butter
Shea butter is used in folk medicine to treat irritations, burns, abrasions and wounds. All thanks to its high fat content, as well as moisturizing and antioxidant properties.
In the cosmetic industry, shea butter is used to nourish and moisturize the skin, as well as to protect and restore it after minor damage and aggressive external influences (such as, for example, winter frost). Shea makes the skin and hair softer and more elastic, and also gives a healthy shine.
Nourishing cream
In winter, weather conditions and other external factors act on the skin more aggressively than in summer. Therefore, it is important to additionally nourish the skin, and the nutrition should be deeper.
Nourishing creams have a complex effect on the face: they cleanse the skin, moisturize it and supply it with nutrients and other necessary substances. And due to moisturizing, normal blood flow is also maintained in the skin tissues, which additionally increases the amount of nutrients supplied to the cells.
Eye Patches
In winter, care for the area around the eyes should be more thorough: the skin there is especially delicate and thin, and it lacks sebaceous glands. Therefore, instead of a regular moisturizing cream, it is worth taking a closer look at a nourishing one. Or even give preference to patches.
Hyaluronic acid will moisturize the skin and prevent moisture loss. Gold will relieve inflammation and redness, and protect cells from damage by free radicals. And sesame seed extract will serve as a source of omega-3, omega-6 and vitamin E - the latter improves the ability of cells to regenerate.
Lip balm
One of the most vulnerable areas of the face to winter frosts is the lips. In addition to the fact that the lip area (like the area around the eyes) is devoid of sebaceous glands, it is also under the constant influence of warm, moist air that we exhale. The contrast between it and the dry, cold winter air greatly damages the skin of the lips and leads to it drying out and cracking.
Balms help prevent potential problems and help lips recover. Oils and wax create an additional protective layer and nourish the skin. And vitamin E improves regeneration.
Hand cream
In winter, the skin of the hands dries and peels. Therefore, it needs to be moisturized. The best way to cope with this task is with creams rich in moisture and essential fatty acids with natural components - oils (avocado, shea, jojoba, sesame), which will additionally create a thin film that protects the skin from damage.
Collagen peptides
No product can guarantee 100% protection of the face from winter (bad) weather. And therefore the skin still loses moisture and dries out, becomes lifeless and more prone to wrinkles.
Collagen is the main connective protein of our body, including it forms the basis of the dermis and hypodermis. Various creams and serums with collagen, in turn, have one significant drawback: the protein molecule is too large to pass through the epidermis. As a result, all the collagen simply forms a film on the skin, which visually tightens the face.
But to achieve a more comprehensive effect, it is necessary to take collagen peptides, that is, small fragments of the molecule that are absorbed into the blood during digestion, and from there enter the skin and serve to synthesize new protein. Due to this, the skin becomes more toned, elastic and resistant to external influences. In addition, the condition of hair and nails improves.
Biotin
Biotin is another protein that is extremely important for skin and hair. It is sometimes even listed in literature as “vitamin H” – in German, the words “hair” and “skin” begin with this letter. A lack of biotin leads to brittle hair and dry skin. And extreme winter conditions will only make things worse.
Biotin also prevents the destruction of collagen, which means the skin will not lose elasticity.
Vitamin E Lotion
Vitamin E helps the skin fight dryness, redness and inflammation, improves the ability of cells to recover from microdamage. Lotions with vitamin E additionally retain moisture, making the skin softer and more elastic.
Castile Liquid Shower Soap
Castile soap (i.e. soap made from saponified olive oil) nourishes, moisturizes and protects the skin without leaving it feeling dry after washing. It contains vitamin E and plant oils that help combat skin imperfections - both on the face and body.
