The colder the weather, the drier the skin? It's not an illusion!

Do you feel that your face is dry and tight recently, or even peeling and reddening? Don't panic, it's not your problem alone! Today, Xiaobian will talk with you about [low temperature and dry skin] and share my winter skin care strategy!

Our skin secretes oil itself, forming a natural sebum film to lock in moisture. But this film is very afraid of cold!

✅ Core principles:

• When the temperature is < 23 °C, skin oil secretion begins to slow down. • For every 1 °C decrease in average temperature, oil secretion decreases by 5%-10%. • When the temperature is as low as 8 °C, oil secretion basically stops!

It's like the skin's "waterworks" shutdown in winter! The "water-locking layer" of sebum film becomes weak, and water is lost wildly, resulting in a sudden drop in skin moisture, followed by dryness, peeling, tightness and even damaged barrier.

Key points: In winter, skin is both "dehydrated" and "dehydrated"!

Knowing the reason, the countermeasures will be clear! The core ideas of skin care in winter are: Gentle cleansing + oil-replenishing and moisture-locking + continuous sun protection.

In winter, the skin barrier is fragile, and excessive cleansing power will make it worse.

• Preferred: Amino acid cleansing • Technique: Gentle circular motions, do simple cleansing, avoid excessive rubbing. • Water temperature: Use warm water to avoid excessive cold and excessive heat irritation to the skin.

Just replenishing water is not enough, the key is to lock the water with "oil"!

• Toner: Choose one with soothing and repairing functions to quickly replenish moisture for the skin. Essence oil: a must-have for dry skin/mixed dry skin in winter! Apply after water to replenish the skin's missing oils. • Moisturizing cream: Choose a cream with rich texture and repairing ingredients such as ceramides and squalane, which acts as an "artificial sebum film" to firmly lock in nutrients and moisture. • Mask: Choose a hydrating and repairing mask and use it every other day. If the frequency is too high, it may damage the barrier.

Although ultraviolet rays weaken in winter, they still exist! It's just that we can adjust our strategy.

• Choice: Replace the high-power sunscreen in summer with a moisturizing low-and medium-power sunscreen or sunscreen spray. • Benefits: Reduce dryness and burden on skin, while ensuring basic UV protection.

Remember this formula: gentle cleansing + water and oil tonic + insisting on sunscreen = hydrated and healthy winter skin
