In winter, the skin barrier is already sensitive due to the low temperatures and dryness, so psychological stress is directly reflected on the skin. In times like these, I focus on "inner care," a much more logical solution than simply applying expensive creams.
First, to maintain your body's moisture balance, start with a glass of lukewarm water. Considering absorption rates, I take omega-3 and hyaluronic acid supplements more diligently than usual. Ultimately, what's more important than creating a superficial moisture barrier is the fundamental moisture and metabolic capacity of each cell.
In times of unexpected stress, a routine focused on probiotics and antioxidants is far more effective in restoring damaged skin. Logically, it's difficult to survive this season by focusing solely on the epidermis. Rather than focusing solely on external stimuli, I encourage you to embrace a routine that strengthens your inner self to overcome the challenges of everyday life.
