Temperatures in single digits, cold wind and snow, all wreak havoc on our skin. Dry, flaky, irritated skin that feels tight is the result. Why is this happening? First, with the low humidity and temperatures, water has evaporated from our skin and the natural balance of oils is altered. It’s this balance that normally protects the skin’s surface. In addition, frequent hot showers with harsh detergent may further strip the skin’s naturally occurring oils.

La Roche-Posay to the rescue… Two new facial moisturizers called Nutritic have just been developed in time to relieve winter’s dry skin. This new formulation contains a combination of 11 natural fatty acids (lipids) to nourish and soothe the skin. This restores the skin’s natural barrier to protect it from the environmental aggressors and provide immediate rehydration.

Two formulations, Nutiritic Ultra-Fine Emulsion 2.5% and Nutritic Ultra-Fine Cream 5%, both contain ingredients that will restore your skin; however, the latter cream is thicker with a higher concentration of glycerin. For those who’s skin needs a pick me up from the winter cold, Nutritic is the perfect solution to soften and surge the moisture back. However, they are not recommended for oily skin or acne prone complexions.

For the body try La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet Cleanser followed by Lipikar baume moisturizer.
