Windburn that, indeed, is a misnomer. Yes, it looks like a burn. And it certainly feels like a burn. But is it really a drying effect. Windburn results from a combination of cold wind and low humidity, which depletes the oil layer on the skin. As you might have guessed, people who live in warm southern climates are virtually windburn immune, unless they take a trip north in winter. The condition is more likely to affect those who spend time out in the cold, dry and windy weather. And keep in mind that any exposed and unprotected in your body is vulnerable, not just your face. A windburn can hurt as much as a sunburn, but fortunately is much less severe. In general, it will fade on its own in a couple of days, provided you take proper care of the affected skin. Here are some tips you can consider to adopt to accelerate the healing process.
1. Shelter
When the head outdoors in winter weather, all the exposed part of his body must be covered. Wear gloves to protect hands and a stocking cap or hood to protect your ears. Better yet, cover your head complete with a ski mask.
2. Do not pull your neck
The most vulnerable square inch of your body is the front of the neck. The skin is very thin and does not get much protection. It is recommended wrapping a terry towel around his neck. It is actually much better than a wool scarf. Wool is irritating and more absorbent. You can also use a turtleneck, of course. Just make sure it is made of cotton, not wool or synthetic fabric.
3. Pop a pill for pain
Aspirin provide any pain and discomfort associated with windburn. And because it is an anti-inflammatory, helps accelerate the healing process.
4. Lay It On Your Kisser
Your lips are especially vulnerable to windburn. Make sure you tell them gives additional protection. We recommend using a lip balm with sunscreen such as Blistex or lipstick.
5. Put Your Best Face
If you know you are going to be outdoors in conditions that produce windburn, then do not wash your face or shave before. If you do, move the natural oils your skin, providing protection against the environment.
6. Keep moist
Be sure to moisturize your skin frequently by the wind, perhaps three or four times a day. The best moisturizer is petroleum jelly, but most people do not find it aesthetically pleasing. Choose a product you feel comfortable, if not very fragrant. Fragrances can cause skin irritations.
7. Do not forget sunscreen
The fact that it is not swimsuit time does not mean you can not get a sunburn. The sun is often a factor in complaints of windburn. We recommend using a cream moisturizer and sunscreen on a day that is cold, dry and windy weather. Find a product with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
