Why does cold weather attack children's skin so much?
Children's skin is up to 3 times thinner than ours. It also produces less sebum, the natural oily layer that protects against external aggressions. The result? Icy wind and cold dehydrate their skin in no time. Without adequate protection, irritation quickly sets in.
How to spot skin suffering from the cold?
A few easy-to-identify warning signs:
- Red cheeks and hands, sometimes even a little rough
- Skin that feels tight after a bath or when going outside
- Small chaps appearing on the lips or fingers
3 essential steps to pamper their skin all winter long
1. Hydrate morning and evening
Apply a gentle moisturizing cream after the bath and before every outing. It's the shield that helps the skin retain its moisture and resist the cold.
2. Cover fragile areas
Hats, scarves, gloves… It's not just cute, it's essential! Extremities (hands, face, ears) are the first to suffer from the icy wind.
3. Nourish the skin from within
A balanced diet rich in vitamins helps the skin stay healthy. For an extra boost, discover My Sugar-Free Beautiful Skin Gummies: enriched with zinc and vitamins, they support the skin's natural radiance.
