We can almost set the clock ticking: after the summer, when it starts to get a little colder, there is always one phone call: has something changed in the recipe of your product? Because my colleague suddenly has irritated skin from washing or disinfecting their hands. In this blog, we would like to explain a little more about how skin irritation occurs and what you can do about it.
1. How does this skin irritation develop?
The skin is our largest organ and that shows how important our skin is. Under normal circumstances, our skin is in balance, but during changing weather conditions this balance can be disturbed. Especially the cold weather combined with heat indoors causes faster evaporation of the moisture from the skin and the closing of the blood vessels in the skin. This results in an irritated and/or red skin.
2. Are the products from Spectro safe?

That means that the entire formulation and all the raw materials used have been evaluated by a dermatologist for safe use.

3. What can you do about it?

Furthermore, taking care of your skin is very important if you are sensitive to these changing conditions. For example, use a moisturizer regularly. Hand & Body Lotion. This ensures that the moisture returns to the skin and allows for faster healing of the skin.
