The onset of winter is usually accompanied by chapped skin.

This happens when we return to a dry, warm room after a walk.

The effects of gusty winds and low temperatures also have a negative effect on the condition of the skin.

Peeling skin not only causes discomfort, but also spoils its appearance. Moreover, even such cosmetics as powder or foundation cannot hide it.

The mood quickly deteriorates, and there is no desire to go anywhere. However, the problem can be eliminated if you follow effective advice.

Causes of peeling skin

The main reason for peeling skin is its insufficient hydration. The upper layer of the dermis is dehydrated.

Water is generally necessary for the proper functioning of metabolic processes. Without it, these processes slow down or stop completely. There are also enzymes that regulate cell exfoliation. Without sufficient hydration, they work slowly.

How to get rid of flaky skin

It is recommended to get air humidifiers, and also remember to drink at least two liters of clean water per day.

Scrub your skin with special products. Note that these should be cosmetic products with a gentle composition.

Avoid cosmetics that contain alcohol, as they will dry out your skin even more and may also make acne worse.

Skin care cosmetics should be applied to the skin of the face in advance. This way the skin will have time to absorb useful substances and become moisturized.

It is recommended to give preference to oil-based cosmetics, as they are more effective in frosty weather.

Don't forget about nourishing masks. They can be made at home using such healthy products as honey, sour cream, and essential oils.

Masks should be applied to the face in the evening to increase their effectiveness and speed up the recovery process.
Thanks to these simple methods, your skin will look great even in the cold season.
