Expert Esthetician Secrets For Combatting Winter Dryness ❄️
Winter and dry skin are almost synonymous. It’s essentially a given that at some point during the cold months you’ll look in the mirror or down at your hands and notice all the signs: dull, tight, flakey, dry or inflamed skin. But as stubborn and unrelenting as winter dryness can often feel, there are very real, very accessible and very easy solutions to replenish hydration and prevent parched skin from ever returning.
Besides the almost intolerable discomfort of extremely dry skin (and the cracking, sensitivity and irritability that usually accompanies it), there are some damages- if left without intervention- that can’t always be entirely reversed. For example, neglected dry can skin precede permanent conditions, like eczema or chronic skin sensitivity.
The older we get, the more susceptible our skin becomes to moisture loss, and in conjunction with other the effects aging has on our skin- decreased cell renewal, less natural production of oils- this dryness can increase the aging process, intensifying fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing collagen levels and diminishing skin elasticity.
Basically, it’s not worth neglecting, especially when the solutions are so easy! And we’re making it even easier with this comprehensive list of must-have winter moisture rejuvenators! Curated by SHEN's expert estheticians, these are the products you can trust.
