9 Common beliefs about winter skincare. Are they true or false?

1. It is IMPORTANT TO SLEEP WELL TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL SKIN

 TRUE. During sleep, skin cells regenerate and their pH is rebalanced. Ideally, stick to the minimum amount of sleep your body needs for rest (usually eight hours per night). This helps keep your skin hydrated and helps prevent dark circles.

2. OILY SKIN DOESN’T NEED TO BE HYDRATED

 FALSE All skin types require hydration. For oily skin, it is better to choose oil-free products, such as those containing Squalane for example and prefer a very hydrating serum that feels light to the touch and absorbs quickly.

3. During Winter, HYDRATION MUST BE MORE INTENSE

 TRUE. Wind and heat help dry out your skin. To keep it hydrated, it is necessary to intensify your routine  during this period. opt for moisturizers rich in oils, and butters. Rich in omega-6 and 9,  nourishes the skin for 30 hours and stimulates the production of structuring proteins even in the deepest layers of the epidermis.

4. HOT SHOWERS ARE BAD FOR THE SKIN

 TRUE. Hot water tends to damage the skin’s natural protection.  the skin on your face reacts by producing more sebum to protect itself from drying out. As a result, the skin in this area becomes oilier.

5.  HEALTHY DIET CONTRIBUTES TO SKIN HYDRATION

 TRUE The better you eat, the better your skin. Too much fatty or fried foods, for example, can increase sebum production and therefore cause pimples.

6. WELL HYDRATED SKIN HELPS MAKEUP LOOK BETTER

 TRUE. Healthy skin is hydrated skin. Balanced hydration results in balanced skin and, as a result, the skin tolerates better, for example, the application of other more irritating cosmetics. If you are wearing makeup all day, at night, we recommend a double oil cleansing method, that will remove your makeup without irritating your skin, and a light-textured face moisturizer with detoxifying properties that will allow your skin to regenerate while you sleep.

7. THE HYDRATION OF THE FACE MUST BE THE SAME AS THAT OF THE BODY

 FALSE. T skin on the face is always oilier than the rest of the body. The body requires more powerful moisturizers, such as body balms and butters, in fact the skin of the body is thicker and drier than that of the face. The point is that the skin of the face has more sebaceous glands, so it is oilier and more hydrated.

8. THE BEST TIME TO APPLY A MOISTURIZING TREATMENT TO THE BODY IS AFTER A SHOWER

 TRUE. Since showering dehydrates the skin, it is very important to apply right after a good moisturizer to compensate. Use a dry oil with nourishing ingredients such as Omega-3 Omega9 or a moisturizing butter from the moment you get out of the shower to give your skin a soft, silky texture and give it back the hydration it needs.

9. IT IS NECESSARY TO TAKE CARE OF THE NECK AND HANDS

 TRUE. These areas can also be very dry and suffer from exposure to the sun. This is why it is important to apply sun protection (the same as that used for the face) and moisturizer every day. A word of advice: always leave a moisturizing hand cream in your bag so you can rehydrate your hands and cuticles at any time of the day. Morganna’s Anti age spot hand cream has essential fatty acids, it moisturizes and soothes the skin while reducing the impact of external aggressions.
