Freezing temperatures and dry heating air put stress on the skin
increases massively in winter.
Walking, exercise and outdoor sports put strain on the skin.
You can risk skin damage and even frostbite through improper care.
Care mistake number 1:
Use moisturizers when it’s cold!
Many people use moisturizers because of the dry heating air.
However, moisturizing creams can remove moisture from the skin when it is cold outside and even freeze. "This can cause the small blood vessels in the skin to burst," warn dermatologists. These are the red veins that never disappear.
Rich products with a high fat/oil content are therefore the better choice.
And there is another reason: the skin now needs more fat. If the temperature drops below eight degrees (which can easily be reached in fast-paced sports due to headwinds, for example), the sebaceous glands, which produce fat, stop working. However, the lack of fat weakens the stressed skin even more.
For proper skin care, make sure to use only rich creams and balms with natural ingredients.
Care mistake number 2:
Do not wear gloves in very cold weather!
When it comes to hand care, it is important to keep your hands warm to prevent cracked skin. In winter, you should wash your hands often to kill germs and minimize the risk of catching a cold. However, this is a strain on the skin, so rich, nourishing, mild hand creams that are still quickly absorbed are helpful.
Care mistake number 3:
Apply lip balm too thickly!
Lips have no sweat glands and only a few sebaceous glands. Of course, the sensitive skin on the lips benefits from nourishing oils and fats and a protective film.
But you shouldn't apply the product too thickly, as this can inhibit the natural moisturizing of the lips - including through saliva - and make the lips even drier.
Care mistake number 4:
Take long, hot baths
Yes, a soothing bath relaxes and warms the body wonderfully: But for dry and stressed skin, hot baths are hard work.
The ideal is not too hot, not too long, not too much foam. Using soap sparingly also protects the skin. Skin-care, balancing bath additives, ideally with natural ingredients, are ideal.
Heating air makes it even more difficult for the skin to moisturize after a bath.
Therefore, care for your skin afterwards with a rich lotion.
Otherwise, redness, itching, eczema and even open sores can occur.
Care mistake number 5:
Washing your hair too often
Depending on your hair type, you should not wash your hair too often. Mild, protein-rich shampoo is a blessing for your hair. If your hair is suffering from the combination of cold winter air, overheated rooms and care products, a hair treatment can be helpful.
Proper skin care:
Organic care products with CBD help protect against external influences.
How does it work? The powerful antioxidant cannabidiol from the hemp plant, or CBD for short, has a large number of nourishing properties for normal, sensitive and demanding skin. The transition between cosmetic products and those with medicinal effects is fluid.
In addition, CBD is able to interact with the skin, as it also has an endocannabinoid system. The holistic approach is what makes CBD organic care so unique.
