Pimples often appear on the back in the colder months of the year, the skin flakes and tightens or is reddened. It's just stupid that the holiday season is coming up … Who doesn't want to show a nice back in a cocktail dress?
Why does the skin on the back go crazy in winter?
The skin is used to being wrapped in airy, loose clothing. But now she is packed in thick sweaters and hardly gets any air or sun. In addition, there is the warm, dry air in the heated rooms, which irritates your skin. Most neglect the skin on their backs. It is neither cleaned nor creamed adequately because it is simply not easy to get there.
What can you do about dry and blemished winter skin?
Care cream: "In the case of fair-skinned people, the traces of summer often show up in dry eczema, which is often associated with itching and can be very uncomfortable," explains the Viennese dermatologist Dr. Barbara Franz: "In this case, I put together special moisturizers for my patients for the respective skin type, which are a real moisture booster for the skin and are quickly absorbed. Products that increase the skin's water-binding capacity are important here."
Peeling: In addition, the skin should be treated regularly with a peeling so that dead skin cells are removed. These clog the sebum glands and lead to inflammation.
Hands off: Scratching and pressing on the blemishes only makes things worse. It is better to use a peeling regularly (your partner has to do it) or buy a back brush (for singles) and pamper your back with a nourishing cream!
