Even though we're still enjoying a few sunny days and pleasant temperatures, the cold is gradually settling in...
To prepare your skin for the first frosts, it's essential to adapt your skincare routine now to nourish and soothe your skin, and give it the resources it needs to better react to the vagaries of the season.
The skin is a delicate organ because of its surface and the varying degrees of sensitivity of certain areas: the skin on the face, hands and feet is more vulnerable to changes in temperature and hygrometry (humidity levels).
Here are the keys to better preparing your skin, keeping it healthy and well hydrated throughout the cool season...
A SLUGGISH METABOLISM
When our general metabolism slows down because of the cold, it impacts blood capillaries and the natural irrigation of our whole body.
The cold causes vasoconstriction of the vessels on the skin's surface, i.e., they become smaller.
vessels on the skin's surface, i.e. they diminish in size and the flow is mainly redirected to the vital organs to be protected.
This results in poorer circulation in the extremities (feet, hands), which become colder
(no wonder our feet feel cold and our hands are very white in winter!)
This slower pace - we walk and oxygenate less, and are less exposed to natural light, which also weakens - ultimately has related repercussions.
As in summer, the legs can suffer from a feeling of heaviness, a sensation.
This feeling is further accentuated by the sudden temperature changes between the coolness of the outdoors and overheated interiors.
Similarly, acne can intensify as waste elimination functions are slowed down, bacterial flora is unbalanced and sebum is produced in greater quantities to protect the skin from the sun.
to protect the skin from dry, cold air, leading to clogged pores and increased inflammation.
UNPROTECTED, COLD UNBALANCES THE SKIN'S ENTIRE CELLULAR SYSTEM
Cold damages the hydrolipidic film, our skin's first line of protection, making it more vulnerable to seasonal viruses and microbes.
Dryness and cold are conducive to triggering an inflammatory reaction in our cells.
our cells, aggravating the symptoms of sensitive, atopic skin (dermatitis, urticaria, eczema, psoriasis) and making skin care more difficult.
It dries out the tissues, which can be accompanied by diffuse redness, scaling and unpleasant sensations (patches and itching).
We often forget that it can also burn the skin in cases of intense or prolonged cold, leading to frostbite.
As a whole, our immune system is put to the test, having to fight off more infections than ever before. infections, it's not as stimulated by vitamin D production as it was in summer and, without vigilance over the condition of our skin, it is no longer as protective.
PREVENT HARMFUL EFFECTS WITH ISOTONIC SEAWATER
To restore balance and protect the skin from the damaging effects of the cold, it is therefore
regular deep moisturizing.
