How to protect the skin from frost
In winter, the person suffers even in the room. Hot batteries, warming the room, very dry the air, and with it our skin. So do not forget about such proven ways to combat this phenomenon, like air humidifiers, or at least a simple capacity with water on the battery.
Frequent and sharp temperature changes at the entrance and exit from the room to the frost cause the capillaries to narrow and expand, from this appear vascular sprouts or spots. To protect the skin from such a reaction in the cold, you need to remember an important rule. It sounds like this: in winter we drink more water, without fail we need to consume 1.5 liters of liquid per day. The skin should receive a sufficient amount of moisture not only with the creams applied to it, but also from the internal stores of the body. But with moisturizing creams you need to be more careful. Use them better long before the release to frost, so that the cream has fully absorbed. Otherwise, the liquid product may freeze on the skin and injure it.
Before going out to frost, it's better to cover your face with a thick, thick creamy consistency cream. And the lower the degrees, the fatter this product should be. But do not forget that even such a cream contains a certain percentage of water, so it should be applied for 15 minutes before going to the frost. Let the moisture be absorbed completely.
How to protect your hands from frost
Protect from the cold hands, of course, is easier than face. Warm gloves or mittens remove half of the problem. However, do not forget that the protection of the skin of hands begins long before going out.
The main problem of hands in winter we create for ourselves. This is the dryness of the skin, which occurs with frequent and incorrect washing. As you know, the surface of the skin is arranged so that it absorbs moisture from the air. However, washing hands with antibacterial soap or alcohol-containing components flushes together with the mud and the elements of the skin responsible for moisturizing.
In terms of moisturizing, the same rules apply to the skin of the hands as described for the face. Just take into account that we load much more hands, so it will not be enough to limit the creams. In winter, hands need moisturizing and nourishing masks and baths selected according to your skin type.
What to do to prevent frostbite
The most important thing for legs is, of course, shoes. In winter, it must meet several important requirements. First, choose the size of shoes so that the foot in it does not feel constrained. The depressed fingers receive a smaller blood flow and therefore freeze faster. Secondly, it is very important to put a warm insole on it. In winter shoes, it should be made of felt, wool, natural fur or drape. The presence of such insoles will give you the opportunity not to wear a woolen sock. It would seem that this is wrong, because it should warm. However, in fact, in woolen toes, the foot sweats much faster and the feet freeze.
And the last thing - try to quit smoking. Expanded vessels will thank you, better warming your limbs.
