Tested for you: Winter care ‘“Outdoor Protection 2 in 1” from Sans Soucis

Winter care that I apply for outdoor activities can be a little richer. I use it for my face and hands, as the latter are all too often forgotten. However, they need just as much protection from the cold and UV rays outdoors as the face. The rich care balm from Sans Soucis is just the thing for this. And it’s practical too, because the handy, dark blue 50 ml tube fits in every coat pocket. Winter care 2 in 1 The “Outdoor Protection 2 in 1” care balm is so rich that you should massage it in well after applying it to the skin. The rich consistency of this special winter care product forms a protective layer on the skin, which helps to replenish its moisture reserves. Dry and sensitive skin in particular remains effectively protected from external influences such as wind, water, cold or dryness. Thanks to its nourishing and protective properties, Winter Care 2 in 1 is suitable for daily use. Why does the skin need special care in winter If the thermometer in the winter shows temperatures in the single digits, our skin’s natural self-protection is weakened because it can simply produce less sebum in the cold. However, the skin’s own oil is necessary for a strong and resistant skin barrier that can retain moisture in the tissue. Optimal care for this temperature range has the ability to strengthen the skin’s resistance and at the same time support the skin’s own protective barrier. Lipid-rich creams with a water-in-oil base are ideal for dryness on the face. Care products with linoleic acid, shea butter or argan oil are also very suitable for cold weather. What are cold therapies? Cold also has its benefits for the skin, the psyche and the body. So-called cold therapies, also known as cryotherapy (ancient Greek κρύος kryos, German ‘ice, frost’), benefit from this. Various methods are used, which differ in temperature and place of application, such as ice compresses, ice packs, ice immersion baths and cold water baths. Liquid nitrogen is used in cryotherapy in cold chambers. Cold therapies help to combat chronic diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis, neurodermatitis or neuronal disorders, as well as to relieve pain and inflammation caused by injuries and/or tension. Athletes use the cold shock after hard training sessions for regeneration or shortly before training to improve performance.
