Why can skin become drier in cooler weather?The outer layer of the skin helps retain water and protect against external factors.

Skin type, the location and severity of dryness, and tolerance to products all matter when choosing appropriate skincare.1.

Frequently asked questions
Should I change my moisturiser when the weather becomes cooler?
Not necessarily. If your current moisturiser keeps your skin comfortable and adequately moisturised, you can continue using it. If dryness increases or returns quickly, you may need a richer formula or one that provides additional barrier support.
Can VIDA Urea Lactic Cream be used on the face?
It should not automatically be used on the face, especially on sensitive skin. Use the product according to its intended area and instructions.
Does oily skin need moisturiser in cooler weather?
Yes. Oily skin may also need moisturising if dryness or irritation appears. The key is choosing a suitable texture rather than skipping moisturiser completely.
