Skin condition in winter
In general, the rules for body skin care (cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing, nutrition) remain the same, but the winter beauty ritual has some peculiarities.
Do not use soap, alkali destroys the already thinned hydro-lipid layer of the skin. Choose shower gels with soothing ingredients and nourishing oils.
Remember that hot water dries out the skin. Therefore, take a shower no longer than 10 minutes, a bath – no longer than 25 minutes.
Don’t dry with a hard towel. Simply pat your skin dry and immediately apply a moisturizing nourishing cream.
Exfoliate no more than once every 1-7 days, and only with gentle scrubs.
Drink more water. Decoctions of wild rose or chamomile are also suitable.
As for body creams, leave refreshing and cooling vibes until the warm season. Choose more saturated textures, and not only moisturizing ones. Nutrients, care with a lymphatic drainage effect, soothing beauty products that relieve irritation and itching are suitable.
For body skin care in winter, use dense textures.
panthenol;

allantoin;
