“Winter brings with it a combo of factors that impact skin health: vasoconstriction decreases oxygen flow and nutrients, and drying heating of environments, generating a loss of moisture in the epidermis,” he explained Andrea Pascual, Doctor in Dermatology of the CMC Mendoza de Boreal Health (MP: 6866).
During a polar wave, face, hands and lips are the most exposed areas, and that is why they tend to dry out, redden or crack more easily. Understanding how the skin responds to low temperatures is key to preventing discomfort and preventing pre -existing dermatological problems.
Among the main consequences of extreme cold are dryness, trenching, redness, itching and, in some cases, cracks and irritations. To prevent them, it is advisable to incorporate habits into the daily routine. In dialogue with news, the Pascual dermatologist develops some tips to avoid the symptoms of the polar wave in the epidermis.
“Hydration inside and outside: drink enough water during the day and apply moisturizing creams in the morning and at night, and even more often if the skin needs it. Soft clean Specific.
In addition to incorporating these care in the daily routine, it is important to pay attention to the signs that the skin gives. If cracks appear, persistent redness, itching or peeling, the ideal is to consult with a specialist to avoid complications or the worsening of pre -existing conditions, such as dermatitis or rosacea. Just as in summer we use sunscreen almost without thinking, in winter we should also adopt habits that reinforce skin health.
“The cold not only uncomfortable: it can also generate visible and annoying consequences if it does not act on time. The key is to prevent, protect and maintain a constant care routine,” they conclude from Boreal Health.
