In winter, we eat differently than in summer, we use more hot food, additionally drink vitamins, which are not enough in fruits and vegetables. In the same way, the change of "diet" requires our skin, because her needs in the cold season increases noticeably.
The main reason why in the winter we need a special cream is concerned in frost and sharp temperature differences: when the street is minus 15-20 degrees, and in the room plus 20-25, the difference in 40-45 degrees is very significant for the skin.
Moreover, during the day, such differences happen not once. Central heating and the stoves in the machines make their own whispering, ruthlessly drying not only the air, but also the skin. If you are used to using a moisturizing face cream, forget about it to spring or use only for the night.
"The fact is that under the influence of frost, the moisturizing components of such funds (for example, hyaluronic acid, attracting moisture) turn into ice microcrystals, which leads to irritation and traumatization of the skin, - explains Veronika Antosik, a dermatogostologist of Astreya. - Alternatively, it is better to choose creams with a more rich texture enriched with substances necessary to the skin in winter, including:
Mitigating and healing ingredients: for example, vaseline, sorbitol, allantoin, panthenol, which create a thin invisible film that prevents drying, dying and frostbite on the surface of the skin;
Vitamin C, which has a beneficial effect on the blood vessels;
vitamins, a and e, which are rejuvenated and nourished the skin;
Hoods from plants: for example, from chamomile, green tea leaves, calendulas that remove the irritation arisen, or grape seed extract, which contains flavonoids - recognized antioxidants and leather advocates;
Natural vegetable oils: avocado, jojoba, shea, which will not allow skin dehydration, soften it and appreciate.
The best winter face cream is a means that meets the queries of a certain skin type and taking into account weather conditions. "
To each his own
Oily skin In winter, it feels quite comfortable, as low temperatures contribute to the decrease in the activity of the sebaceous glands. However, excessively dry air and frost can lead to the appearance of hyperkeratosis (thickening of the horn layer) - like the skin is trying to protect against negative effect.
"The owners of oily skin are encouraged to resort to agents based on AHA- and BHA-acids, - continues the story of Veronica Antosik. - They stimulate the cellular update, reduce the thickness of the horn layer, remove inflammation, stimulate the production of collagen, moisturize and provide antioxidant protection. Fruit acids can be part of both daytime
So night cream, the difference is only in concentrations and protective functions.
If you do not plan long walks in the snow-covered forest or ski occasion, there is no point in "weighing" your skin with a nutritional cream with a thick and bold texture. Choose

Dry skin Most of all suffers from winter pore. The time spent in the risen or frost literally sucks vitality from it, so care must be carefully thought out. At minus temperature or strong wind, be sure to apply funds that protect and frost, eliminate redness and irritation.

Owners Normal skin You should choose cream based on the current skin needs. If on the street frost, it is better to stay on the means with a more rich texture, and if it is necessary to strengthen the regeneration of the skin, then restoring creams with vitamins and retinol will come to the rescue. Retinol is one of the strongest agents for rejuvenation and revitalization, its action is directed to the restructuring of the dermal matrix of the skin. But in the summer, Retinol can cause increased sensitivity to UV rays, but winter is the most suitable time to use creams based on it. "
