Protection for Dry Skin in Winter

If you suffer from dry skin in winter, here at Aurum Wellbeing we give you tips on how to moisturise and protect it naturally.

Because of the cold and wind, skin is more vulnerable in the winter months. If it is not properly cared for, dermatitis, erythema and other effusions can occur.

In winter, the skin constricts its blood vessels to retain heat. Thus, as it receives less nourishment from the blood, it slows down the production of fats capable of retaining water and keeping it soft and hydrated.

The most exposed parts of the body are the face and hands.

The problem of dryness and cracking is due to damage to the outer protective layer of the skin which becomes red, dark and itchy. Of course, apart from the hands, most of the danger of dry skin in winter is the face which is in constant need of protection.

Dry skin in winter: the causes

Seasonality plays a key role in the health and well-being of the skin. Not only harsh winter temperatures and climatic factors, but also the constant stay in overheated environments cause skin problems.

But other causes also contribute, such as frequent and too hot washing, unsuitable soaps and the use of medication over a long period of time.

Hereditary factors or ageing can also be the cause of dry skin.
