Cold, tightness, facial redness: what to do?

When the thermometer falls, your skin calls out for help... Plaques, flakes, hypersensitivity, tight skinyour skin is on edge and ready to react to the slightest temperature change. For a soothing winter season, discover our beauty tips to help your skin regain comfort and calm.

Why does skin get tight in winter?

As soon as the thermometer drops below 8°C, the sebaceous glands go into a state of rest, producing less sebum. As a result, the skin is naturally less well protected. Dry heating air also damages the skin by "destroying" skin lipids and causing it to lose significant moisture. As a result, the skin is no longer sufficiently moisturized, leading to dryness and discomfort.

External aggressions, and wind in particular, can lead to another type of problem known to sports enthusiasts as "windburn", an irritation caused by strong, cold winds. The skin's protective barrier is altered, the skin becomes very red and may peel. In short, the symptoms are exactly the same as a nasty sunburn, and a barrier cream rich in fats is the best dressing.

Why does facial redness appear in winter?

Temperature variations affect blood circulation. When it's cold, blood vessels contract. Blood withdraws from the extremities, giving priority to the vital organs to maintain their temperature at 37°C. This is why the skin on your fingertips turns white, and why it's so hard to warm your feet, for example. Back in a warm place, the opposite happens. Small vessels dilate: redness and a sensation of overheating appear. Sensitive, thin and fair skins are more fragile to these temperature variations, which easily lead to local inflammation. These skin types are therefore more prone to rosacea, an inflammatory disease that develops over time.

Cocooning cleansers to care for your skin

Taking care of your skin in winter starts with make-up removal. Forget foaming gels that contain soap, and micellar solution, which aggravates the situation with its irritating compounds. Instead, useCleansing Oil Oh My Cream Skincarerich in sesame and sweet almond oils, perfect for removing make-up and pollution while caring for dry and/or dehydrated skin.

Second stepCleansing Emulsion Oh My Cream Skincare completes cleansing by removing the last impurities. Its chamomile extracts, shea butter and sunflower oil pamper very dry, irritated skin.

Cocooning cleansers to care for your skin

Once the face has been cleansed, apply a soothing treatment lotion, such as the Century Flower Protective Shield Mist Pai Skincare. This will act as a penetration vehicle for the other treatments, making the skin more receptive to the formulas applied afterwards.

Finally, if your skin is prone to pimples in winter, don't start an anti-blemish routine. Most of the time, these pimples on the face are linked to hypersensitivity. A soothing routine will be far more effective than purifying products that risk aggravating these skin problems.
