How does cold weather affect the skin?

Take care of your skin in winter

Have you thought about how extreme temperatures and the change of seasons affect your skin? Extremes are never good. Next, we are going to delve into how the cold affects our skin and what precautions we must take to continue maintaining healthy, hydrated, and luminous skin. Will you join me?

The drop in temperatures puts our skin on alert, and it reacts by narrowing the blood vessels to protect the body from excessive heat loss. This effort limits the supply of oxygen and nutrients to our skin, causing, in extreme cases, cell death. Therefore, the cold is reflected on our face and the result is very dry, dull, and dehydrated skin.

Levid's philosophy is clear: "maintaining healthy skin requires knowledge and consistency." Skin states are temporary and often fall into imbalance. It is important that skin in poor condition recovers, and for this reason, we must understand what skin we have and what it needs. Remember, any state is modifiable and healthy skin should be your priority.

What is the key to fighting the effects of the cold on the skin?

It is crucial to avoid an alteration of the hydrolipidic barrier, which is responsible for protecting the skin from external factors. For this reason, we must prioritize deep hydration with highly nutritious ingredients.

Antioxidants and non-comedogenic oils are an interesting and effective option to maintain prolonged hydration and prevent the loss of cellular water. Facial skin influences our emotional well-being, and at Levid, we do not talk about cold or heat, but about beauty.

Starting a winter day is easier with the right facial routine, don't you think? At Levid, we always recommend the Serum, the Eye contour, and the Day cream SPF25.

The Vin-up Lift, the natural antioxidant par excellence that is present in all products, combined with non-comedogenic oils such as rosehip oil, which is found in the Serum, castor oil, present in the Eye contour, or the argan oil that the Day cream incorporates, are synonymous with stability and healthy skin.

Skin states

Remember, skin states are temporary and when they suffer alterations, we shouldn't worry more than necessary if we act accordingly. Experience helps us better understand what our skin needs at each time of the year, and the cold is no exception.

Lastly, and no less importantly, the temperature of the water also influences our skin. Although it is often appealing and we understand that, we must be careful with very hot water. Showering at a high temperature clearly alters the hydrolipidic barrier, dehydrates the skin, and promotes the appearance of flaking and irritation. Extremes are never good!

Consistency and knowledge are the foundation of success
