Ukrainian women often prefer moisturizing creams to nourishing ones, but it turns out to be a mistake, cosmetologists say. Healthy and beautiful skin requires not only moisture, but also a well-developed protective layer, which consists of water and fats. Nourishing creams help to fill the lack of fats in this layer, making the skin soft and firm.

It is especially important to provide your skin with nourishment during the cold season when its protective barrier is weakened. Cold temperatures can cause vasoconstriction, increase skin sensitivity and slow skin regeneration. Regular use of a nourishing cream can help avoid these problems.

Signs of lack of fats in the skin include a feeling of tightness, flaking, irritation, redness, and a tendency to allergic reactions and premature aging.

When choosing cosmetics, pay attention to its composition. Creams containing calcium strengthen the protective barrier of the skin, and vitamins, minerals and amino acids nourish it and promote regeneration. Natural oils such as shea butter and apricot kernel oil help keep skin moisturized and protected.

Take good care of your skin, especially when the weather changes, and your skin will respond with beauty and health.
