Cold and dry winter air outside and on the other hand high temperatures inside to keep us warm. Winter is the season that does not forgive our skin.
Low temperatures and high temperature differences are the main causes of skin problems in winter. The skin needs a different care during the cold days, otherwise it becomes dry and irritated and is often accompanied by an unpleasant itching and flaky appearance.
Skin care from the inside out
Winter skin is often dry and dehydrated. This is often because we don't feel as thirsty as we do on warmer days. So we need to remember to drink enough water every day. In addition to adequate water intake, we need to eat enough fruits and vegetables regularly to provide the body with essential vitamins, minerals, fibre, and beneficial phytochemicals. However, the intake of healthy fats such as avocado, salmon, nuts and unrefined oils is crucial.
What are the most common winter skin problems and how can you alleviate them?
Dry skin around the nose
Dry and itchy skin around the nose is one of the most annoying skin problems in winter. Taking a steam bath will definitely soothe the irritated skin around the nose, but you can also apply Gentle Skin balm to the problematic area. Gentle Skin Balm will nourish and restore the dry and sensitive skin.
Chapped dry lip
Wind, cold temperatures and dry air often take their toll on the sensitive and thin skin of the lips. On milder occasions, lips are dry, but many people experience painful chapping that requires special care. The rich formula of Intensive Lip Balm restores silky softness and moisture to dry and chapped lips. Gentle Skin Balm also works great.
Dry and irritated skin
It may not sound like a serious problem, but dry skin can be extremely painful. The most common symptoms are flaking, redness, itching and cracking of the skin. Using a quality skin care product that moisturises and nourishes the skin is crucial. Dryness and irritation can also be avoided with a few small changes in skincare - we shower with lukewarm water and always apply a rich moisturiser to the skin, which will hydrate the skin while nourishing and protecting it. We recommend the Pristine Forest Body Lotion, which is instantly absorbed, instantly relaxes dry skin and gives it the moisture it needs. The skin will be soothed and wonderfully nourished after the treatment.
Eczema or dermatitis
Eczema or dermatitis manifests itself as very itchy, dry, red, scaly skin on the face, neck, hands. In winter, the lack of humidity and cold weather can worsen the situation, so it is important to take timely action and avoid severe outbreaks. It is important to moisturise and nourish the skin with products that are effective and gentle at the same time. Therapeutic CBD Skin Balm is a great help here as it combats the most severe symptoms of atopic skin, soothes skin reactions and relieves eczema flare-ups. Pristine Forest Body Lotion works great with Therapeutic CBD Skin Balm. It is a perfect daily moisturiser and nourishes the skin.
