During the winter months our skin is exposed to aggressive factors such as: cold, wind, rain, snow, pollution, heating, etc.
The result is a feeling of tightness and discomfort, accompanied by peeling, dryness, irritation and redness.
Below we give you some tips to avoid all these signs:
– Avoid sudden changes in temperature. It is not convenient to come home after having been outside and sit in front of a heat source such as the stove or fireplace, since we only dry out the skin and make it suffer more in the winter.
Showering with warm water, drying well and generously applying our moisturizer are key factors to prevent the appearance of cracks.
– It is important to keep our body well hydrated, drinking plenty of water and eating foods rich in vitamins, such as fruits and vegetables. Specifically foods high in vitamin A and vitamin E, which are essential for improving damaged skin and protecting it naturally. It is also necessary to eat foods that contain OMEGA “ω3, ω6, ω9” fatty acids.
– Periodically carrying out treatments in our beauty center provides us with complete hydration and optimal regeneration for our cells. At O3 THERMAL, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING we offer you a BODY EXFOLIATION with Dead Sea salts + BODY HYDRATION with a nourishing cream that leaves skin spectacularly soft and hydrated. This complete treatment will only take you 1 hour and the result will be very satisfactory.

– To maintain the good condition of the face, it is advisable to always apply cosmetics adapted to our needs, so the products to use are those that will protect the outer layers of the skin. If you have normal skin, using a serum/emulsion will be enough. If your skin feels dry/dry, we recommend creams that are very nutritious, applied daily and especially at night. In general, to achieve correct skin regeneration, highly emollient and moisturizing products must be applied above all. Products that contain for example; Shea butter, glycerin, paraffin oil, and lanolin, oils such as monoi, argan, sweet almond, jojoba or creams with urea, lactic acid or hyaluronic acid.
“It is important to know that not all creams will always work well for us, so it is essential to get advice from a professional.”
It is also essential to use a specific cosmetic for the eye/lip contour in winter, since the peri-ocular skin is thinner and susceptible to dehydration.
The use of masks can be very beneficial since, having an occlusive effect, they are quick and effective for the skin. You should avoid those with acidic components and give preference to those that contain herbal extracts such as chamomile or calendula. Apply depending on skin type between 1 and 2 times a week (for this season) on the face, neck and décolleté. Leave it on depending on the type of mask, normally for 15-20 minutes and remove with plenty of warm water. Apply the daily cream to finish.

-IF YOU GO TO THE SNOW, then the skin suffers more and loses moisture so it cracks, exfoliates and irritates. For this reason, it is essential to regularly use creams with sun protection factor that help maintain that natural moisture.
As natural protectors from the cold, the most common thing is to use creams with a high lipid component, or with emulsions type A/O (with the oily outer layer) or A/S (where the external component is a silicone, giving less greasy sensation on the skin. skin than oily).
-In these months of the year when our skin is more sensitive, we recommend not using soaps or cleansing gels that contain detergents that are too astringent or aggressive, as they can eliminate the skin's natural lipid barrier.
It is more convenient to use soaps without detergents, cream-type soaps, in which oils and some fatty components have been added. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS A SOFT SCRUB EXFOLIATING FOAM from GERMAINE DE CAPUCCINI, which you can use every day of the year.
Keep in mind that many antibacterials, disinfectants and deodorants contain alcohol and drying agents.
– We must not forget the lips, nose and hands, which also suffer from low temperatures. It is ideal to use protective creams and apply them several times a day. In this case we recommend one of the best creams on the OHO market “Olive Health Oil”. Nourishes, Regenerates and ensures maximum absorption.
– Finally, you must avoid moistening your lips with saliva even if they feel dry, as this produces additional irritation.
