Winter is a difficult time for our skin. Constant winds, frosts, temperature changes, dry air – all this very negatively affects the skin. That is why it is important to take care of her during this period. The right choice of cosmetics is very important. Those that we used in spring and summer are not necessarily suitable for this period. Here are some tips to help you take care of yourself in the winter.
Cream – the basis for care
In winter, a greasy consistency is good. It is best that they promote regeneration, moisturize and have in their composition vitamin A, which improves the appearance of the skin, but also strengthens the immune system and vitamin E, called the “vitamin of youth”, which delays skin aging. At the same time, we should avoid using too oily and heavy creams – especially when our skin does not need it, because they can burden and clog pores.
When choosing cosmetics, you should pay attention to the condition of the skin. This question is very individual. Based on this, we can better assess what may be missing and what cosmetics to buy. Let’s not be completely guided by what we read on the Internet or what a friend buys, but let’s focus on ourselves and our needs.
Let’s not forget about the hands
Hand care is extremely important. In winter, they are very susceptible to drying, frostbite or irritation. We must always have the right cream, and we must use it several times a day. Like face cream, it should have moisturizing and lubricating properties. However, it should not be too heavy. It is best to leave a thin layer on the skin.
Makeup
Contrary to appearance, makeup can be a great form of protection. It is important that the base we chose during this period is very opaque, greasy, dense and contains a UV filter. Thus, we will make extremely sensitive facial skin less susceptible to adverse factors such as cold, wind or sunlight (which can also be strong during this period), and become less prone to dryness. When it comes to lip makeup, avoid heavy matte lipsticks, especially those that are applied. Whether it’s summer or winter, these types of lipsticks can have drying properties. They should be replaced with moisturizing lotions and lip glosses.
