BIONOVA’s NANO-COMPLEXES Help the Skin Stay Healthy During Winter

People who live in a seasonal climate know that wintertime is the most challenging for the skin. There are two reasons for that: (a) outdoor cold temperature, and (b) indoor heating conditions. If cold causes the skin vessels spasms to reduce the blood circulation in the upper part of the epidermis, the heat does the exact opposite.
