It is important that there are no aggressive components, such as alcohol, in the "winter" products. But suitable means that retain water in the skin (with glycerin, hyaluronic acid), with panthenol, vitamins A and E. Usually these cosmetic products are made in the form of foams, mousses, serums, lotions, balms and creams with oils. But dense gels with salicylic acid and concentrated tonics in such a situation are not the best solution.
Olga Petrenko argues that it is necessary to choose delicate, gentle remedies, taking into account the type of skin and the season, combined with concomitant therapy, for example, in the treatment of acne. "If you use aggressive, oil-reducing skin cleansers, then they should be abandoned in winter. Care creams for patients who are being treated for acne should contain more emollients. For people who do not undergo special therapy, soft remedies are recommended, also suitable for the skin type. Cosmetics can be branded, but, alas, not suitable for a specific person. For example, if the face pulls after washing, it seems over-dried, dehydrated, you should discuss this with a dermatologist or cosmetologist. It is difficult to determine in absentia which remedy is suitable for each person in winter," says the dermatologist.
In winter, both salon and home peeling procedures should be carried out very carefully. "Many people, especially teenagers, use scrubs, clay and other masks with aggressive components. All this weakens the protective layer of the skin and reduces its barrier function," the doctor explains.
A universal recommendation is the use of funds with lipids (fats). They form a reliable protective film on the skin. These include regenerating and nourishing creams. "It is necessary to use sufficiently oily creams, as they improve the protective functions of the skin. It is recommended to apply the cream 20-30 minutes before going out into the cold," the dermatologist notes.
