Your skin needs extra care in winter. In this article, I will show you products that are one hundred per cent made in Italy.
Heated air and icy cold weather are hard on the skin in winter. As a result, it loses moisture, becomes dry and blemished. I will show you suitable cosmetics to support your skin's barrier function.
Provide yourself with moisture
To prevent your skin from drying out, you should look for moisturising substances when choosing creams. These include urea, lactate, glycerine and amino acids such as lysine, alanine and carnitine. Vitamin E can also help your skin to retain moisture in the long term and thus protect it from drying out. The moisturising face cream from Acqua alle Rose, for example, is enriched with vitamin E and rose extract. The "Hydrating body cream All in One" from the manufacturer Pupa Milano is also designed to provide you with moisture. It can also be used for the entire body and hands. And the "60th Anniversary 24h Face & Body Cream" from Nesti Dante is designed to keep your skin soft thanks to ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and green coffee.

The right shower care
Even if it's sometimes difficult in the cold, try not to take too long hot showers in winter. This can strip the skin of oil and lead to a loss of moisture. When choosing your shower lotion, you should look for mild ingredients. According to the manufacturer BioNike, the "Proxera Shower Cream" is very gentle on the skin and moisturising. The "Naturale Antica Erboristeria" shower gel from N.A.E. is said to support the moisture content of your skin with organic lemon and mandarin extracts. And the "Memories of Nature Sunset Relax" shower gel from Palmolive ensures a sense of well-being with essential oils.

Special care for the face
Your face is probably particularly exposed to the icy wind in winter. A moisturising face mask can help. The "S.O.S Moisturising Hydro-Mask" from Collistar, for example, can be left on overnight. According to Brand, it is designed to minimise wrinkles and smooth your facial features. The "Defence Mask Instant Hydra" from the manufacturer BioNike can also be used overnight or as an emergency booster. It contains hyaluronic acid and malachite extract. The aim is to moisturise and detoxify your facial skin. The "Crema Nera Volcanic Mask" from Giorgio Armani uses volcanic powder. It is said to noticeably improve the overall appearance of the skin
Hand and foot care
Your hands and feet are also stressed in winter: Cracks form quickly, especially on the hands, where there are fewer sebaceous glands. You should therefore moisturise them regularly. Your feet will appreciate a regular foot bath and a moisturising cream afterwards. The "Sakura Tokyo" from Acca Kappa is enriched with rose, cherry and nashi pear blossom, among others. The hand cream "Colonia Hand Cream" from the manufacturer Acqua di Parma is said to have a typical Colonia fragrance. According to BioNike, the "Proxera" hand cream has even been specially developed for hands that crack quickly.
