Expert Advice from Dr Barbara Kubicka
Fashion and beauty website Stylist explored how to protect your skin against the cold winter weather, with expert advice from Clinicbe founder and skin expert, Dr Barbara Kubicka.
Due to the lockdown, many of us are spending more time outside this winter, with millions embracing the health and wellbeing benefits of a daily walk in the fresh air.
But exposure to the cold weather can cause a host of problems for the skin, leaving it feeling dry and irritated.
Dr Barbara Kubicka explains:
“Wind and cold temperatures affect skin in a significant way.
“The effects on the skin will depend on an individual’s sensitivity but generally, it dries the skin making it rough and uneven in texture.
“The winter condition will affect capillaries making the skin more prone to redness, sometimes resulting in little broken capillaries, thread veins and spider veins as they are called by some.
“Also, as many of us have noticed, it makes the skin on our lips very dry, making them cracked and sore.”
Protecting Skin Against The Elements
As always, it’s best to try and prevent issues. There are some simple measures that we can all take to protect our skin.
Dr Kubicka continues:
“It’s much easier to protect your skin than to repair the damage done by winter conditions.
“Use a barrier cream on your face and a hydrating product on your lips.”
Best Skincare Ingredients
Dr Kubicka tells Stylist readers what to avoid and what to look for in hydrating skincare for winter:
“I advise reducing the use of a water-based serums in the morning during this time. If your skin can handle more oily, heavier products use these instead. [Reducing the use of water-based serums] will protect your skin from perspiration that occurs due to elements such as an increase in central heating, which can cause further dryness.”
Instead look for:
“…face oils with vitamin E and a soothing, calming vitamin B complex, like panthenol. Also, niacinamide and zinc are key ingredients to look out for in your skincare.”
