Cold, tightness, redness: what to do?

The thermometer drops and your skin calls for help... Plaques, flakes, hypersensitivity, skin that pullsYou feel your skin is on edge and ready to react to the slightest change in temperature. For a soothing winter season, discover in this file all our beauty tips that will help your skin find comfort and calm.

Why does skin get tight in winter?

As soon as the temperature drops below 8°C, the sebaceous glands rest and produce less sebum. In this way, the skin is naturally less well protected. The dry air from the heating also damages the skin by "destroying" the skin lipids and causing it to lose important moisture. The skin is then no longer sufficiently moisturized, which causes skin dryness and discomfort.

External aggressions, and in particular wind, can cause another type of problem known among sports enthusiasts as "windburn", an irritation caused by strong, cold winds. The protective skin barrier is altered, the skin becomes very red and can peel. In short, the symptoms are exactly like a bad sunburn and a barrier cream rich in fatty substances will be the best dressing.

Why does facial redness appear in winter?

Temperature differences affect blood circulation. When it is cold, the blood vessels contract. The blood withdraws from the extremities and irrigates in priority the vital organs to maintain their temperature at 37°C. This is why the skin turns white on the fingertips and why it is so difficult to warm up your feet, for example. When you return to a warm place, the opposite happens. The small vessels dilate: redness and a sensation of heating appear. Sensitive, thin and fair skins are more fragile when faced with these temperature variations, which very easily cause local inflammation. These skin types are therefore more prone to rosacea, an inflammatory disease that develops over time.

Soothing cleansers to take care of 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.

Soothing cleansers to take care of 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.
