Winter weather poses several challenges to the skin, primarily due to the combination of cold temperatures, low humidity, and harsh environmental conditions. Here's a closer look at how winter affects the skin:
Dryness and Dehydration:
One of the most common skin issues during winter is dryness. Cold air is typically less humid, and indoor heating systems can further decrease moisture levels. This dry atmosphere can cause the skin to lose its natural hydration, leading to dry, flaky, and itchy skin.
Chapping and Cracking:
Exposed skin, particularly on the face, hands, and lips, is vulnerable to chapping and cracking in cold weather. The harsh winds, low humidity, and cold temperatures can weaken the skin's natural protective barrier, making it more susceptible to damage.
Sun Damage:
Even though winter brings fewer hours of daylight, UV radiation from the sun remains a threat. Snow can also reflect sunlight, increasing your exposure to harmful UV rays. Sunburn and UV damage can occur, leading to premature aging and skin problems.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines:
The dry, cold conditions of winter can exacerbate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin less plump and more susceptible to lines.
In addition to using an SPF, here are ways you can use Dalia Botanique's top products to take care of your skin in winter.

Our rich hand cream, infused with the calming properties of Chamomile and Calendula, soothes and hydrates your skin. It's the perfect remedy for dry and cracked hands, restoring moisture and leaving your hands feeling soft and supple.
