In winter, skin requires intensive regeneration and hydration, as it is particularly exposed to wind, frost, and dry air, which consequently leads to excessive dryness, roughness, and even cracking. In such conditions, simply applying cream is not enough to keep it in good condition.
During the winter season, hand skin often becomes dry and chapped for several reasons:
•Low temperatures and wind: Exposure to cold air weakens the skin's natural protective barrier, promoting dryness.
•Dry indoor air: Heating reduces air humidity, which negatively affects skin hydration.
• Frequent hand washing: Using soaps and disinfectants can remove natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness.
To prevent irritation, it's good to know what to avoid:
1. Hot water – washing hands in water that is too warm removes the skin's natural protective layer, leading to dryness. Choose lukewarm water 💦
2. Alcohol-based products – frequent use of alcohol-based products can further dry out the skin ✋🏻
3. Lack of protection – not wearing gloves is a direct path to chapped hands 🧤
4. Lack of UV protection – in winter, UV rays also affect the skin, so use sunscreen all year round ☀️
REMEMBER! Regular hydration, gentle care with natural cosmetics, and protection against the harmful effects of external factors are key to beautiful and healthy hands.
