It’s important to maintain skin care levels throughout the year. However, these should be adjusted to the characteristics of each season. In winter, external aggressions – such as the drop in temperature, wind and rain – damage the delicate skin of the face and deserve to be reinforced in the skincare routine<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this article, we’re going to identify the main skin care tips to ensure that your skin doesn’t become fragile and dry during the cold months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7 Facial skin care<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Investing in hydration<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the main challenges in winter is maintaining a level of hydration that protects against the cold, dry air<\/strong>. Your skin care<\/strong> routine should include a good moisturizing cream. Choose a product that suits your skin type<\/a> and contains ingredients that help retain water, such as hyaluronic acid<\/strong>. This substance will intensely moisturize your face and prevent wrinkles<\/a> from forming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Wear sunscreen<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s very important to wear sunscreen in winter<\/strong>. Although we are less exposed to UVA radiation, the sun affects us all year round, even on cloudy and rainy days. Without protection, the action of the rays accelerates skin ageing and the appearance of spots<\/a>. That’s why using sun cream is essential. Even in cold weather, try to apply a product with SPF 30 protection or higher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Maintain skincare routines<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Healthy skin is more resistant to external aggressions. Stick to a skincare routine that meets the needs of each season. Along with moisturizer<\/strong> and sun protection<\/strong>, skin care should include daily cleansing. Once a week, you can also apply a mask and exfoliate. The latter will help remove dead cells and encourage cell renewal<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Drink plenty of water<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Keep hydrated during the cold months. Creams help to hydrate, but that’s not enough for the body to function properly. Try to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluids a day. Alternate, for example, between water at mealtimes and hot teas<\/strong> throughout the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Follow a balanced diet<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Healthy meals<\/strong> are part of our skin care list. A balanced diet not only contributes to health and hydration, but also prevents premature skin ageing. During the winter, try to eat nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E<\/strong> and Omega-3<\/strong>. Consider oily fish, fruit, vegetables and nuts as your allies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Respect a healthy lifestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Say no to habits that deviate from a healthy lifestyle. Alcohol<\/strong> and tobacco<\/strong> are some of the skin’s enemies<\/a>, contributing to a higher level of dehydration and triggering other more serious problems. Try to eliminate them from your routine and focus on beneficial activities such as regular exercise<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Reinforce skin care with medical-aesthetic treatments<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want to use aesthetic medicine to treat or delay the signs of ageing, combat sagging skin and reduce blemishes, scars and acne<\/a>, do it in cold weather. This is the ideal time to resort to some medical-aesthetic treatments, as there is less exposure to the sun, an essential requirement for a good recovery process. These are some of the most suitable treatments to carry out in winter:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
