1. Limit `heavy` treatment products when caring for dry skin in winter
When it comes to winter skin care, the first thing to keep in mind is to avoid heavy treatment products that can cause dryness, irritation or peeling.
—
“I don’t recommend completely overhauling your skin care products with the change of season.
—
Treatment is the term dermatologists call specialized products that help solve skin problems such as acne, melasma, acne scars, large pores, aging… The most researched ingredients are usually those that are

If you use the treatment in the winter, your skin will suffer twice from dryness from both the weather and the product, making it extremely difficult to replenish enough moisture.
2. Don’t neglect sun protection
Winter is the time when the sunlight is less bright.
Dr. Hextall affirmed:
—
“Even though there are fewer UVB rays in the winter, levels of UVA rays (often referred to in dermatology circles as Aging UV) are still enough to age our skin.
—
In addition, Hextall also noted that UVB rays are the wavelength that stimulates vitamin D production, which will decrease during the winter months and so, if necessary, we can supplement vitamin D3 orally to avoid vitamin deficiency in the body.

3. Use moisturizing products with high moisture content when caring for dry skin in winter
In winter, the skin tends to lack water and become dry, combined with cracking, and wrinkles also appear more.
—
“Your skin will become drier and often more sensitive in colder weather.
—
For normal skin, winter is already a headache due to dryness and peeling problems. For dry, sensitive skin, it is even an extremely difficult challenge.

4. Exfoliate regularly when taking care of dry skin in winter
On average, every month people will go through a skin turnover cycle and in one hour the skin will release more than 30 thousand dead cells.
—
“Regular exfoliation helps slough off dead skin and allows your skin to better absorb skin care products.

5. Don’t forget to moisturize your feet and hands to avoid chapped skin
The condition of peeling skin on hands and feet in winter is certainly no stranger to us.
Besides taking care of your face, don’t forget to take care of your hands.
Cracked skin is due to loss of inherent moisture.
—
“If the skin on your hands and feet is peeling, at night apply a layer of lotion under gloves or socks.
—
You should choose products that contain active moisturizing ingredients such as vitamin E, vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, ingredients extracted from aloe vera, avocado… to provide optimal moisturizing effects.
