It's cold! 6 tips to protect our skin this winter

The drop in temperature and sudden changes during the cold winter months affect our skin, which is noticeably drier. If not properly cared for, it can develop dryness, redness, and irritation. Dry skin in winter shows a lack of hydration and epidermal lipids, resulting in a reduced or even altered protective barrier that hinders effective protection.

But how can we prevent this? Here are some great tips to keep our skin healthy and radiant throughout winter:

1. Hydration!
   Use a rich, moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid or shea butter. Apply it morning and night or immediately after bathing to "lock in" moisture on our skin
2. Gently cleanse the skin.
   Use a mild, moisturizing cleanser that will not irritate the skin.
3. Always apply sunscreen!
   The sun in winter can be just as harmful because it hides behind the clouds and is equally damaging to our skin. Apply sunscreen daily.
4. Hydration from the inside out.
   Drink plenty of water and herbal tea to keep our skin hydrated. Incorporate omega-3 rich foods into our diet, such as salmon, avocado, and walnuts.
5. Avoid hot water.
   Hot showers can be enjoyable, but they remove the natural oils from the skin. Opt for lukewarm water and shorter shower durations. It’s a good idea to apply a rich body moisturizer with either hyaluronic acid or vitamins after showering.
6. Protect the skin from the cold.
   Wear gloves and scarves to shield our hands and face from cold air. Use lip balm with moisturizing ingredients like beeswax and shea butter to keep our lips hydrated.

With these tips, our skin will remain healthy, soft, and glowing even on the coldest days! By prioritizing hydration and using the right products from Hi2 Cosmetics, we can keep our skin bright and healthy.
