Skin care in dry air: How to protect your skin in the cold season
Dry air, whether from heating in winter or air conditioning in summer, can put a lot of strain on the skin. Feelings of tightness, dry wrinkles and a pale complexion are often the result. But with the right care, you can protect your skin optimally and help it to stay healthy and radiant. Here you can find out what you should look out for.
Why dry air is harmful to the skin
Dry air removes moisture from the skin. Especially in the cold season, when heated air and low humidity come together, the skin's natural moisture balance is disrupted. The skin barrier can be weakened, which leads to irritation and an unpleasant feeling of tightness.
The right skin care in dry air
- Clean gently: Use mild, pH-neutral cleansing products to avoid putting additional strain on your skin. Aggressive cleaning products can dry out the skin and attack its protective barrier. Cleansing milk or oils that gently cleanse and nourish at the same time are ideal.
- Moisturize: Use moisturizing products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid , glycerin or aloe vera. These active ingredients bind moisture in the skin and help it to appear plumper and smoother.
- Use rich care products : Protect your skin with a rich cream that contains lipids. Shea butter, jojoba oil or ceramides strengthen the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.
- Don't forget to use sun protection: Sun protection is important even when the air is dry. UV radiation can dry out the skin even more and accelerate its aging. Therefore, use a day cream with a sun protection factor.
Additional tips for radiant skin
- Use a humidifier: A humidifier can improve the indoor climate and increase the humidity. Your skin will thank you!
- Drink plenty of water: Drinking enough water is essential to hydrate the skin from within.
- Use peelings sparingly: If you have dry skin, avoid frequent peelings to avoid further irritating the skin.
- Regenerate at night: Use your night care for an intensive moisturizing treatment, e.g. with a mask or serum.
With the right care for healthy skin
Dry air does not necessarily have to lead to dry skin. With gentle cleansing, moisturizing care products and a conscious approach to environmental influences, you can protect your skin optimally. This will help you get through the cold season well and maintain a radiant complexion.
