<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat is up with cold weather?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe skin barrier hinders its natural process in dry, cold climates. As a result, the unprotected skin will fuse its production of pro-inflammatory proteins and cortisol. Thus, stressing the skin, becoming sensitive, and reacting towards allergens or irritants. Other skin conditions may follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter also affects the skin\u2019s lipid production - natural fats that help your skin retain moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t freeze up. Enforce action to empower your skin.\u00a0Follow these nourishing skincare steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Drink water<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
You would be surprised to know that during wintertime, dehydration is also an issue. During summertime, sweating leads to loss of water. What happens during winter?<\/strong> Well, we tend to drink less water. So heat some water to make tea and hydrate yourself!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut why?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nOur H2O (water) keeps the skin on point.

<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Hydrate & Moisturize<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Showering during cold weather can be painful, but don\u2019t skip moisturizing your body.\u00a0Neglecting hydration and moisturizers<\/a> will impact the skin\u2019s vitality. Don\u2019t starve your skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd keep in mind there is a difference between the two.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n- Hydration has a watery consistency and helps with providing water to your skin.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Moisturizer locks the water in, creating a barrier. Its density is of oil-based ingredients.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
There are three categories of moisturizers<\/strong> to consider: occlusive, emollients, and humectant.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOcclusive moisturizers form a barrier on the skin's surface to avert moisture from escaping. Humectant moisturizers, on the other hand, work by attracting water to the skin and holding it in place. Emollients address dryness, strengthening a weak skin barrier while softening the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Omega-3 Fatty Acids<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Consuming nutritious food will also defend your skin from harsh climate changes. Omega-3 fatty acids <\/a>help reduce inflammation and also hydrate the skin. Prep your meals with salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed oil to benefit the most from omega-3 fatty acids.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Avoid harsh soaps<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Coming in contact with aggressive cleaning components can strip the skin of its natural oils. Assure that you aren\u2019t using harsh soaps or detergents that can irritate the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Exfoliate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
For winter care, don\u2019t harass your skin with grainy exfoliating scrubs. It will lead to further irritation and welcome dryness. Look on the label to find one of these two ingredients: alpha-hydroxy acids and glycolic acid. They both work well for dry skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n- Sunscreen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Funny to see this here, huh? Well, it shouldn\u2019t. By now, you should know that all year round, sunblock is needed to protect your skin. In snowy areas, the snow can reflect up to 80 percent of the sun\u2019s UV light [1<\/a>]. Don\u2019t let your skin age faster, and wear sunscreen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nIngredients for cold weather nourishing skincare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"Nourishing](\"https:\/\/2plustopicals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Nourishing-Skincare-for-Winter-Months-2-Plus-Topicals-2-1024x683.jpg\")
