At Asirox, we recognize that skin is very important and delicate, deserving of proper care. Changes in temperature do not support maintaining skin in optimal condition, and therefore, we must understand our skin type and how to treat it, especially during cold or hot months. Now in winter, the skin undergoes different challenges compared to summer. The skin is subjected to temperature changes, wind, lack of humidity, heating, and even street pollution.

Our entire body requires greater hydration for healthy cellular renewal, especially the face, hands, and lips. Do not neglect arms and legs, mainly the extremities such as elbows and knees, as they tend to dry out more frequently. In today's Asirox blog, we explain how to protect the skin from the cold in the forthcoming winter months.

Tips for Protecting Skin from Cold Weather.

Moisturizing Cream for Skin Protection Against Cold

A moisturizing cream, suitable for your skin's properties, is essential to support the cellular renewal of your skin. Although each cream is distinct and contains various components, certain active ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin should be present in our hydration regimen to optimally protect skin from the cold. For this reason, consulting an aesthetics center for determining your skin type and daily routine is necessary. Visiting such centers is crucial because the professionals at medical-aesthetic centers can provide guidance and the most suitable and tailored diagnosis for you.

How to Protect Skin from the Cold?

Protecting skin from the cold can be more complex than it appears. It all depends on your skin type and how it is affected by abrupt temperature changes. In winter, skin requires more specific care to achieve better hydration results, as the occurrence of redness, tightness, cracking, or dryness is quite common. From Asirox, we aim to offer a routine to maintain healthy and hydrated skin during the most intense cold months.

Daily Facial Cleansing

Whether it's winter, summer, or spring, facial cleansing with lukewarm water should be performed twice daily, in the morning and at night. An appropriate cleanser for dry, oily, or combination skin would be the perfect ally for optimal cleansing. Following this, a moisturizing cream should be applied (always according to your skin). The morning cream should contain sun protection to prevent sun spots, as our skin tends to stain with sun exposure, even during winter. The night cream, ideally, should have more nourishing properties.

Moisturized Lips and Hands

The lips are the most sensitive area of the face because the cold directly affects them, causing dryness and cracking. Therefore, daily and constant hydration is essential to prevent dehydration. An specific cream or lip balm may be applied to protect this area and contain regenerative properties. At your aesthetics center, Asirox, you can receive advice on what type is best for your lips.

Hands also require continuous hydration and gloves to protect them from the cold against cracks and even small wounds or warts.

Body Hydration After Showering

The rest of the body in winter is more covered, yet it also suffers from the cold. Therefore, it is important to apply a moisturizing cream after showering, particularly on areas more prone to dryness such as ankles, elbows, and knees. Before hydrating, remember that shower water should be lukewarm. Also, avoid abrupt changes in water temperature to maintain the skin's natural state. Proper body hydration always allows us to achieve better results in the treatments we undergo in the clinic, whether for hair removal or body or facial care. In this way, we enhance the outcomes we obtain at our medical-aesthetic center.

Lastly, and importantly, maintain a good diet and take care of your nutrition to achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance. To obtain smoother and brighter skin, enrich your diet with foods rich in vitamin A and C, such as natural orange juice, broccoli, or red pepper.
