Why your skin dries out in winter and what to do to prevent it
During this cold season, it is crucial to pay extra attention to the health of our skin.
Facial dryness and dullness during the colder months are due to several factors that affect the skin barrier and water balance. Here are some of the main reasons:
Factors that dry out your skin in winter
🌬️ Low atmospheric humidity
During winter, air humidity decreases. There's less water in the environment for the skin to absorb, resulting in a loss of moisture in the outer layer.
❄️ Cold and dry wind
Wind can strip your skin of its natural oils, weakening the lipid barrier, which is essential for retaining moisture and protecting your skin.
🔥 Indoor heating
Heating systems dry out the air, promoting skin dehydration. Constant exposure to air-conditioned environments depletes the skin's natural moisture.
🛁 Very hot baths
Although tempting in winter, hot baths strip away natural oils, leaving skin more prone to dryness.
🦠 Changes in the skin microbiota
Temperature fluctuations affect the skin's microbiota, which is essential for skin health. An imbalance can lead to dryness and sensitivity.
Combat dryness on your face
To counteract these effects, you need a winter-appropriate routine. This includes using intensive hydrating products, such as OhMyKoko's Ultra-Hydrating Microbiome Boosting Serum , designed to strengthen the skin barrier and provide deep, long-lasting hydration.
