Skin in Winter

With low temperatures and cold winter air, our skin suffers: it becomes drier and more irritable, so we need to provide extra hydration in the most exposed areas, namely the face and hands.

Let us start with the area that cracks and becomes irritated most quickly: the lips.

The skin on the lips is quite thin and the lip contour becomes very sensitive and prone to cold sores and very painful, annoying cracks.

There are two types of products: hydrating sticks and repairing balms.

Neutrogena lip moisturising stick provides the softness and SPF 20 sun protection lips need so that they do not crack and remain properly hydrated.

Nuxe Reve de Miel repairing balm

With honey and precious oils, this is a concentrate that nourishes, repairs and protects the driest, most damaged lips. It has a refreshing flavour with a grapefruit note that helps the most damaged lips recover in very little time.

Another part of the body that suffers a lot at this time of year is the hands: they are exposed to bad weather and we should keep them hydrated and protected all year round, although it is true that winter is when we pay them the most attention. At Farmaciasdirect we are going to show you several hand creams so you can choose.

Nuxe Reve de Miel hands and nails

This is a silky, non-greasy cream with honey, sunflower, precious oils and vitamin E that nourishes, repairs and protects dry and damaged hands. Hands feel softer after use and nails are strengthened.

It is important to point out that a hand cream should be applied from the back of the hand: rub the backs of the hands together to spread it and, once distributed, move on to the palms.

If we apply it first to the palm, it leaves a more uncomfortable greasy sensation that may make us stop using a hand cream.

Another option is Neutrogena anti-ageing hand cream with SPF 25, which contains active soya. It is highly suitable for mature hands to help prevent photoageing and the appearance of dark spots.

When we go through a cold and the seasonal allergies that are already close, the skin on our nose becomes irritated, red and flaky. Sterimar anti-irritation cream protects and quickly repairs the skin on our nose to prevent flaking or help it return quickly to a comfortable state.

Last but not least, we must pay close attention to the skin on our face, which suffers a lot of dehydration with cold air and temperature changes. We simply need to take our skin type into account so we do not make a mistake in how we hydrate it.

For any skin type we have the Nuxe Fraiche de Beaute hydrating serum:

This ultra-concentrated product, with plant milks, white almond blossom, aloe vera sap and samphire, among other active ingredients, reinforces the skin’s water reserves and maintains an optimal water level, giving the skin a feeling of comfort and helping prevent irritation. It has a fresh fragrance with orange blossom notes.

It can be used as a mask by applying a generous amount after peeling or exfoliating treatments.

For dry and dehydrated skin, including the most sensitive, Sesderma Hidraderm Hyal is a cream with three types of hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights that act on different layers of the skin to hydrate it fully.

Another alternative for dry skin is Reve de Miel day and night cream, a comfort concentrate with honey and precious oils. Generous and melting, it replenishes lipids, soothes and repairs external aggressions. It contains at least 90% ingredients of natural origin, including honey, sunflower, argan and sweet almond oils and shea butter.
