Winter conjures up a few images, depending upon where you live. Frosted windows, the crunch of ice and snow beneath your boots, and dry, crisp air might greet those who live in colder climates – and even if you live further south, freezing temperatures can occur.
No matter where you choose to reside during the winter months, dry skin can be of increased concern. Sente offers the perfect product to add to your winter skin rescue toolkit, one which was designed to help ensure your skin is looking and feeling your very best during the holidays and beyond.
Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish to the Rescue
Sente’s Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish is your secret weapon when it comes to enjoying hydrated and healthier skin this season.
One of the most important ingredients in this cream? Ceramides, HSA and skin-barrier mimicking blend of omega fatty acids. Ceramides are a type of lipid, which are fatty molecules in the skin, as Health outlined. Cold temperatures and dry climates can combine to reduce the ceramides in your skin, which means it’s up to you to replenish them yourself.
Considering that ceramides are somewhat responsible for the overall health (and strength) of the most superficial layer of your skin – the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of your epidermis – the trio of ceramides included in Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish work together to make sure you’re completely covered. Topical ceramides can help your skin hydrate more significantly than other moisturizers, since they are an essential skin molecule, we’ve included a trio of ceramides in Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish that work synergistically with our patented Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA) to do just that.
Pairing ceramides, antioxidants -- Vitamin E -- and an exclusive skin-barrier mimicking blend of lipids with Sente’s patented heparan sulfate analog (HSA), Sentè’s patented repairing molecule which also pulls double duty to promote hydration and help skin to repair from within.
Lifestyle Tips to Keep Your Skin Healthy This Winter
While equipping yourself with the best skincare solutions is essential, it’s also important to keep the bigger picture in mind – your skin requires TLC to be at its very best.
Winter weather serves up a slew of different demands, from a lack of humidity to extreme temperature swings. Make sure you’re protected by ticking off a few lifestyle considerations and you’ll be doing the best you can for your skin.
Limit time in a hot shower: Hot showers have been shown to cause dry skin, particularly in excess. Skip the lengthy shower in favor or a mildly warm bath, instead. Your skin will thank you.
Avoid too much alcohol: Some say drinking a few too many cocktails could have unintended consequences beyond the obvious. Alcohol has been shown to dehydrate you, and a surplus of drinks can spell disaster for your skin’s health. It might be tempting when pent up indoors, but a little willpower can go a long way.
Consider a humidifier: If your residence is particularly dry, as is the case when heat is being pumped into your home or apartment, a humidifier could be the ticket to making sure your skin doesn’t get too dry.
Skip the overly perfumed body washes: According to Canadian Living, you could actually be doing more harm than good to your skin by applying poor quality or heavily perfumed body washes. These washes can strip your skin of lipids – the very reason you’re using Dermal Repair Ultra Nourish – undoing all of that hard work (and then some).
