Colds & Flus: Looking After Your Skin
March 26, 2024
Colds and flus can have a dramatic effect on our skin. They increase our skin sensitivity, remove moisture and generally leave our skin looking sallow, dry and dull. The area around our nose tends to be the most sensitive, especially when we frequently blow our nose. It can also cause an increase in acne and blackheads from inflammation and irritation.
As moisture is drawn out of our skin it is left feeling dry. This lack of moisture leads to the skin becoming dull and lose its natural glow. It can even cause our lips to become sore and chapped from dehydration. You may even get cold sores from being run down.
There are several things we can do when ill to help protect our skin and maintain as much moisture and glow as possible.
