It happens every year: You wake up one morning and the "sticky" skin of summer begins to change, until one day, as autumn and winter bring cold days, it starts to dehydrate.
"Changes in the air dehydrate the skin," Audrey Kunin, a certified dermatologist, told Well & Good. "There are chemical reactions that occur in the skin when we lose its protective mantle. "The skin cells start to rupture." For this reason, it is advisable to avoid certain products, or at least use them sparingly, until spring comes.
1. Alcohol based toners
Toners have moisturizing ingredients that positively affect the skin during the winter, but avoid those with alcohol ingredients. Choose a toner with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide formula.
2. Clay masks
Many people use clay masks to detoxify the skin, but in general, they will dry out and irritate the skin worse, especially on cold days. So avoid.
3. Retinoidet
This does not mean giving up retinol completely, but use sparingly any vitamin A derivatives if you have dry skin.
4. Fragrances and essential oils
Stay away from products that have names written on ingredients like "fragrance", "essential oils", "perfume", "linalool".
5. Products for acne
Generally, the products used to get rid of acne tend to dry out, so in the cold months you have to be careful with ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Azelic acid is a milder alternative. Niacinamides also work.
