Coping with the cold weather: Korean skincare tips

Brrr! How cold! Did you know that temperatures in Seoul dip well below freezing during the winter? For this reason even Koreans are very careful to protect their skin during the coldest period of the year.

Here are some useful tips for you that will help you always maintain healthy skin even during the winter!

1. Hydrating is essential

What we often forget to do during the winter is drink plenty of water. Lower temperatures don't make us want to drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day and this can often lead to skin that is more dehydrated and prone to irritation. So even during the winter never forget to drink 2 liters of water every day!

2. Beware of boiling water

During the winter it is not advisable to take hot baths or showers for prolonged periods. Although it may seem like a good remedy to fight the cold, the high temperatures of the water can damage the natural protective barrier of our skin, making it more exposed to the damage that the cold climate could cause. Therefore, both when we cleanse our face and when we take a bath or shower, we are always careful not to overdo the temperature of the hot water.

3. Use products suitable for the climate

Each of us, even in Italy, lives in a different climate. While it's winter for everyone, some of us may live in wetter areas, while others may live in drier areas. This also combines with the fact that we all have different needs regarding our skin type. Therefore, choosing products that are suitable for us and for the climate will be essential.
