Undoubtedly, one of the least desired effects is the so frequent reddening of the skin. For what is this? "Due to capillary vasodilation, the redness of the face is constant in winter. Heated environments, generally with little humidity, can be very harmful to the skin. It is corrected by vaporizing with thermal water and drinking plenty of fluids. Avoid hot beverages. , excess alcohol, and spicy foods. Also, it is essential to moisturize the skin daily ".

3. Hydrate the skin to the maximum, especially after showering and before going to bed.

6. Don't stop using sunscreen.

MAXIMUM PROTECTION IF YOU GO IN THE SNOW
What happens when we exposed to extreme temperatures and snow? Lowering the temperature lowers the level of protective substances in the skin. Wind and low humidity reduce the amount of fluid in the dermis. And the ultraviolet radiation, which is higher at higher altitudes - added to the snow's reflection - multiplies the risk of burns.
It is advisable to use a sunscreen factor 30 or more and repeat the application every two hours. Do not forget your ears. Use products with urea, lactic acid, or vitamin A. Don't forget to protect your lips. Pay attention to hands that tend to crack due to the cold. To the sight, lenses with protection for UV radiation.
