In winter, the main protectors of the neck skin are scarves, and the skin of the hands – gloves and mittens. During this cold period, it is very difficult to protect the skin of the face, and especially around the eyes and mouth. Therefore, you need to take good care of proper and intensive care.
Nowadays, there are many products to care for our skin in the winter. Various cosmetics companies offer a lot of miracle products, which include mainly oils and fats. It is these components that quite well cope with such functions as power and protection. These products should never be applied to contaminated skin, because all these impurities will be absorbed into your skin and cause diseases. Before you buy a particular product, you need to carefully study its composition. Best of all, in winter, those that have anti-inflammatory and soothing functions will be useful. You should pay attention to the value of the components of the cosmetic product.
When choosing a skin product, use our tips, which are given below.
We must remember that liposomes provide our cells with useful substances.
Sesame and grape seed oil, as well as hydroxyl fruit acids form a protective film and protect it from excessive moisture evaporation.
The best moisturizers for the skin are vitamin B5, hydroviton, avocado, chamomile extracts, as well as aloe, cucumber juice, hyaluronic acid and lecithin.
Coconut oil nourishes our skin and forms a protective film.
Ceramides give our skin smoothness and elasticity.
But it is not enough just to know the value of the components of your skin care product. You also need to know the simple rules and principles of their application.
First, in order for the cream to be completely absorbed into the skin of the face, it should take at least an hour. That is why cosmetologists recommend applying it an hour before going out in the cold.
Secondly, scrubs can not be used in the daytime, but only in the evening.
Hand cream should also be applied an hour before going out. There are such creams that can cause skin irritation, because they contain glycerin.
In winter, you need to forget about wiping the skin with ice from herbal tinctures. This can only be done in the summer.
If your skin often suffers from inflammatory processes, we recommend taking vitamins rich in fish oil, flax oil and walnut.
Make sure that the composition of your cream must include UV filters, because the sun’s radiation is harmful even in winter.
If you have dry skin, then soft products, such as cream with extracts of ginseng and aloe, will suit you. For those who have oily skin, you need to use a grapefruit-based or green tea-based face wash. But by no means a drying gel. The process of washing off makeup should be completed by applying a tonic based on vitamins and without alcohol. It may seem ridiculous, but it is useful in winter to wash with cold water instead of hot water, which destroys the lipid ball of our skin.
As for hydration, when choosing a cream, you should pay attention to its three important functions:
- nutrition of the epidermis with useful substances;
- uniform distribution of its layer over the entire skin;
- the most important thing is to restore the skin to prevent extreme moisture evaporation.
In this case, you should focus on such components as antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, as well as, of course, lecithin, which helps to retain moisture even in the lower layers of the skin. For those lovely ladies in whose work the computer is an indispensable component, we want to recommend using a cream with a dense texture. They are the ones that nourish and retain moisture inside the skin. The most effective means are 100% cosmetic oils. If you suffer from very dry skin or skin diseases, then use creams that include the main component – vaseline.
As mentioned above, in the winter, our body loses a lot of useful substances, so you need to use nourishing masks at least once a week. It is recommended to use masks based on vitamins A and PP. They reduce the negative impact of cold on the skin. In winter, alcohol-based products are contraindicated – they irritate and damage our skin.
Finally, we want to say that you need to take care of your skin to avoid all sorts of problems and diseases. To do this, you need to properly try and use good cosmetics based on natural substances.
