Common Mistakes for Oily Skin in Winter

Winter presents unique challenges for those with oily skin. It is common to believe that during colder months, less attention needs to be paid to hydration. However, this perception can lead to inadequate care practices that compromise the natural barrier of the skin. Cold weather, hot showers, and lower air humidity weaken the skin's protective layer, prompting the body to respond by activating mechanisms aimed at restoring its defenses. Therefore, even during winter, those with oily skin must continue their skincare routines to avoid issues such as dryness and sensitivity. According to dermatologists, maintaining a routine of cleansing and moisturizing is crucial for protecting this type of skin throughout the season. The Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD) warns that people with oily skin should receive the same care during winter, despite the perception that their skin may become less oily.
