As soon as cold snaps come on in the street, in the life of a woman the problems associated with the appearance are added. The most common trouble is dry skin and hair. And even the owners of oily skin type can feel from time to time a feeling of peeling and stiffness. To spend less time restoring your appearance in the spring, you need to pay attention to the skin and hair in the winter.
All your actions will be directed to the solution of one task - to prevent dehydration of the skin. The cause of this condition is not only the effect of cold air, but also artificial heating in the house and at work, temperature changes, when you leave the warm house or car on the street or, conversely, from the cold to the heat. Such extreme conditions lead to the destruction of the fat layer of the skin and reduce its protection.
Today we will take care of such areas of the body as:
- Facial skin
- Eyes and lips
- Body skin
- Hands
- Hair
Facial skin
Cleansing of the skin from dirt and natural sebaceous and sweat glands need to be done year round, regardless of the weather. But for winter care there are some features. At this time of year, all skin is hidden under the cover of warm clothes. One's face alone can not be protected from frost and cold. Face vessels during this period are subjected to a heavy load. In order not to injure them additionally on their own initiative, one should not wash with excessively hot or cold water.
Makeup remover and facial cleanser should be selected directly for your skin type and based on its condition. It can be milk, foam, gel, emulsion. If you need to revitalize extremely dry skin, then try using a product with a more saturated texture. Do not forget to tonic. It will help remove the remnants of the cleanser and simultaneously normalizes the acid-base balance of the skin. To maintain the water balance of the skin, choose moisturizing, regenerating face creams especially for cold weather care. It is best if it is a set of day and night creams.
The dense horny layer of the skin in winter becomes even thicker. This somewhat complicates the possibility of conventional creams to nourish the skin with moisture and beneficial substances. Various serums and concentrates will help us here. In contrast to creams, they are more concentrated in their composition of nutrient, reducing, anti-aging components and act as conductors. Serums should be applied every morning and evening.
The most basic rule that must be observed is to enhance the usual care by including additional products or to increase the frequency of using funds using more nutritious and saturated foods. Gel substitute with emulsion or fluid, cream( for a saturated version) or balm. However, there are also such tools that, with their light texture, have very powerful properties for the restoration of the skin.
Actively use facial masks. In the summer, you spoiled your skin with fresh mashed fruits and berries. In winter fresh-frozen gifts of nature are quite suitable. Pay attention to the nourishing masks with cottage cheese, egg yolk. In winter, your skin needs oil-containing products that help strengthen the fatty shell. Add the shea butter( carita), carrot or oil tree to creams and masks. You will also need creams with hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes the skin and retains moisture for a long time.
The winter sun on the activity does not concede to summer. To protect your skin always intending to go out, use a cream. However, it should be applied no later than half an hour before going to the frost.
Eyes and lips
The delicate and delicate skin around the eyes requires even more attention in winter than other skin areas. This area of the skin does not have sebaceous glands and it is very tight in severe frosts. Actually, the scheme of care does not differ from that which works for the skin of the face. Do not miss the application of nutrients( always in the morning and in the evening), timely cleanse the skin around the eyes from makeup and use serum.
With respect to the lips, we say that the very use of lipsticks and glosses has a beneficial effect on the skin condition in this area. Modern decorative cosmetics are also enriched with nutritious, moisturizing and smoothing ingredients. It should only be clarified that in winter, more intensive care and more intensive means are needed. Light shines and gels set aside until summer. Replace them with lipstick. Before applying lipstick, use lip balm or a special stick. They contain several times more wax, as well as essential oils.
Body skin
Even despite the protection of many layers of warm clothing, the skin of the body requires no less care. Caring for your body in the winter, you will then need less effort to bring it into proper condition before going to the beach.
Leather in a certain way signals us that something is wrong with it, it lacks something. Typically, a variety of redness, roughness of the skin and the appearance of "goosebumps", dull color warns us that the skin is dehydrated and requires food. Choose nutrient and moisturizing shower gels, which are enriched with vitamins and minerals. Immediately after taking a shower or bath, when the skin is still steamed, apply a variety of nutritional serums, creams.
Body scrubs are necessary not only in the summer, for an even tan. Under a layer of clothing, the skin is worse ventilated and breathing. The coarse upper layer of the skin can be removed with the help of a scrub. Use it once or twice a week. It will also be useful to rub the body with a dry natural brush or washcloth before you are about to wash yourself.
Hands of
Your lovely handles should always be well-groomed. This should not prevent even severe frosts. It is clear that in winter everyone wears gloves, mittens and mittens. However, there are times when you have to shoot them. And to supercool the skin enough and a few minutes. After you begin to notice small cracks on the hands, the skin coarsens, becomes covered with red spots. Your usual hand cream can not cope alone with the mission entrusted to it - to protect the skin of your hands from the cold.
Save up to warmer times with light lotions and perfume creams. Now you are more likely to use those products that contain coenzyme Q10, peptides, collagen. They will intensively nourish and repair the damaged skin of the hands. In the morning, lubricate your hands with protective creams. They will create a protective film over the skin and thereby prevent moisture loss. In the evening, use nourishing creams and deep regeneration products. At least once a week, make masks for the skin of the hands. For this, it is not at all necessary to buy or prepare special compounds. You can just smear a thick layer of any nourishing cream on the skin of your hands, hold it for 15 minutes and wipe the napkin with the leftovers.
And do not forget about the nails. In the winter, they can become dull and fragile. Yes, there are special nutrients, but do not deprive your nails of attention and when applying skin care products.
Hair
Cold, of course, acts the same way, both on the face skin and on the scalp, and this then affects the hair. It's good if you have short hair that you can easily hide under a warm fur hat. With long hair, things are more complicated. And, nevertheless, you can not walk in the winter with your hair loose.
Under the influence of cold air, hair follicles can not get proper nutrition due to the narrowing of the vessels of the scalp. Hair gradually weakens, becomes brittle and can begin to drop heavily. To prevent these unpleasant processes, it is necessary, above all, to focus on hair masks. In the summer, you took care of your hair to give them extra volume and shine. Now, concentrate all your efforts on strengthening and restorative procedures. Hair products should be nutritious, rich in retinol( vitamin A) and vitamin E. Choose products that contain oils( burdock, castor oil, shea butter).
Long wearing of the headgear contributes to the increased secretion of sebaceous glands. In combination with increased dryness of the scalp, this can provoke the appearance of dandruff.
Once a week, use a deep cleansing shampoo to wash your hair. Use not only a nourishing and moisturizing shampoo for frequent washing, but also an air conditioner for hair. The usual situation in the winter is with the hair, when they begin to electrify. Cope with this phenomenon will help you silk pillowcase on the pillow and blotting hair after washing with a silk cloth. The headgear should have a lining made from natural fabric.
Do not wash hair with hot water. Actually, this can not be done in any weather, but in winter it is especially harmful. Otherwise, the hair will become brittle. Reduce the frequency of using a hairdryer, curling iron and ironing to level the hair. If you need to immediately dry your hair, apply them to the air conditioner, and then dry it with a dryer in a gentle mode. Keep styling tools for a while or use extremely rarely.
Here are some simple tips to help you withstand the cold weather and always look irresistible.
