Beauty If we take care of the face with a cream every day, why forget about the rest of the body?

Perhaps it is the cold wind, the lack of light or the constant dryness of the skin that makes us consider winter as a fickle friend. To be fair, dry skin isn't just limited to the cold months, but it does tend to get worse when temperatures drop. And to this fact is added that we tend to forget that our body also needs some pampering if we want to maintain healthy, hydrated and elastic skin, with the aggravating circumstance that we do not usually put the same care in body care as in facial care. We tend to do it when in spring we begin to sense summer. “During winter, body hydration is the great pending issue. When we measure the degree of hydration, in general, it is very low and except for people who have specific problems such as psoriasis, dermatitis or dry or senile skin, few are those who hydrate their skin on a daily basis”, explains Rocío Escalante, head pharmacist of Arbosana Pharmacy and director of the beauty and wellness center with her name.

Body skin care begins in the shower. And that, according to a specialist, implies having it hydrated “to keep the skin barrier strong and make it more resistant to pathogens and external factors. Although in winter the skin of the body is generally covered, it also suffers from changes in temperature between inside and outside and from the hot water of the showers that also dehydrates”. Therefore, the perfect time to apply a moisturizer is after a shower. "To compensate for the effects of hot water and aggressive soaps that we can use," she says.

Although when it comes to opting for a cream we know that the fluid and light versions are the ones that are not lazy to apply, Escalante recalls that "unless you have a specific skin problem, the most important thing is to choose a cream that you like for the texture, that it is absorbed quickly, and for the aroma. When a cream is pleasant to us, we are going to use it”, she sentences. Now all you have to do is choose which one to use.
