Strong winds, cold, low temperatures, stress and wearing a protective mask all day long – all this translates into skin problems more than we think. In cold weather, skin can become flaky and dry, and irritation can easily occur.

The most important step in your skin care routine is regular moisturizing of the face day and night. A nourishing protective layer should also be applied to the face before any exposure to cold temperatures. Sheet masks can be a good way to complete your skin care routine, and they can quickly improve the condition of your complexion.
