Winter care

In the cold, our skin experiences increased stress: low air humidity, freezing wind, frost, temperature changes. Therefore, starting in late autumn, review your daily skin care program.

1 Switch to rich cream
Already in the fall you need to start using fatty cream. Choose one that nourishes and protects the skin. The composition of the autumn-winter nourishing cream should include components that form a thin protective film on the skin, for example natural oils. This will allow the product to prevent moisture loss and protect against the effects of frost and wind. Apply these products an hour before going outside. The presence of sun filters is desirable - the winter sun, reflected from the snow, also has a dangerous effect on the skin.

2 Powder – every day
In addition to protective cream, use foundation or powder, which will additionally protect your face. It is important to follow the correct sequence: after using a rich cream, wait a little for it to be absorbed, then blot your face with a napkin and apply powder.

3 Monitor the humidity
The dry air of a heated room dries out already weather-worn skin. You can increase air humidity using electric humidifiers or by placing vessels with water next to the radiator. Indoor plants play a positive role. You shouldn't give up moisturizer in winter. But don't use it before going outside. Evening is the best time to “water” your skin with life-giving moisture.

4 Use thermal water
For the same reason, in winter you should use thermal water or a non-alcoholic tonic with moisturizing additives. You should freshen your face with this water several times a day. Thermal water in aerosol form can even be used over makeup.

5 Clean properly
In winter, our skin is prone to irritation and peeling. Therefore, it needs to be cleaned with especially delicate products that have a softening and soothing effect. For example, cleansing milk and lotion.
To soothe the skin, use a non-alcoholic toner - it will cleanse the pores, normalize the level of moisture, which will give the skin freshness and smoothness. If you use a scrub, switch to the most gentle product and reduce its use to once every 10 days.

6 Pamper your skin
In the evening, after thorough cleansing, you can soothe your skin with a moisturizing mask. This is especially useful for dry skin prone to flaking and roughness.
The effect of the mask will be more effective if you first make a warm compress with herbal infusion.

7 Take care of your lips and hands
Don’t forget about the skin of your hands - a change in temperature has a negative effect on its condition. Hand cream with a high content of fatty acids will help prevent skin peeling.
Using it only once at night is no longer enough; lubricate your hands with cream several times a day, after each contact with water and before going outside. Be sure to take on protective equipment for delicate areas - lips, eyelids and ears.
