The colder weather impacts your skin more than you think. With a mix of cold weather, lower humidity and indoor heating, your skin needs more care than it usually would.
If your skin has been feeling dry, tight or even itchy, you’re not alone. Here’s how you can help your skin this Winter.
Why does my skin get dry in Winter?
Your skin gets dry in Winter (or any other time) as your skin doesn’t retain enough moisture to keep it hydrated.
The common signs of dry skin include redness, a rough texture, itchiness or cracks in your skin1.
How can I help calm down my irritated skin?
While it can be irritating, this doesn’t have to be your new norm every Winter. You can make simple changes to your skincare routine and habits, including:
Using a new moisturiser that is extra hydrating, like DermaVeen’s Extra Hydration Intense Moisturising Lotion
Wearing gloves, which can help stop your skin from drying out because of the dry air in Winter
Changing your washing powder to one that focuses on sensitive skin, as these are likely to be free of harsh chemicals or fragrances
Staying hydrated, by drinking plenty of water as dehydration can affect the appearance of your skin
Patting your skin dry instead of rubbing after you’ve had a hot shower or bat
How DermaVeen can help
Dermaveen Extra Hydration Intense Moisturising Lotion comes in a large 1L bottle and is filled with colloidal oatmeal, which means it can help lock in moisture and intensely nourish extra dry and sensitive skin.
The lotion forms a protective moisture layer on your skin, which can help your skin stay hydrated against the changes in temperature that come with Winter.
It’s also paraben, fragrance, lanolin, artificial dry and alcohol free. It’s suitable for use on your face and your body and can be used by infants, adults and the elderly.
