Furthermore, in winter the body acts in a very particular way: to maintain the normal temperature, between 36 ° C and 37 ° C, it exerts a vasoconstriction of the epidermal vascular district. The further the warm blood moves away from the skin, the less heat is lost to the outside. So not only the epidermis is cold to the touch but it also activates a defense mechanism: to save on nutrients, being less supplied with blood, it synthesizes less lipids and therefore dries up.
Specific treatments for the hands in winter: oils and butters, even in the spa
