- Actual skin condition. For example, if you have normal skin, then after exposure to ultraviolet light or cold, it can become very dry.
- Age category of your skin. Special night cream cosmetic creams or those that rejuvenate your skin can be used only after twenty-five to thirty years. At the same time, keep in mind that dry skin ages much faster.
- Individual drug tolerance. It is very wrong for you to use those creams that include herbs that you are allergic to. You should also use biologically active creams carefully, since they cause hair growth on the face.
In the cold season, you need toning and cleansing, nourishing and hydrating your face, both in the morning and in the evening. It is necessary to do these procedures every day. This will require:
- Tonic, which does not contain alcohol.
- Any cleanser - foam, milk, gel.
- Special cream. For young skin, you need a cream that works for twenty-four hours, and for a more mature skin - day and night cream.
If in the mornings you are accustomed to wash with soap, ordinary water or wipe your face with a piece of ice, then do not forget that after such a procedure, you must first wipe the skin with a toner, and then apply the cream. Tonic will restore the skin-fat balance of your skin, which is very important. In winter, the face cream should moisturize the skin, and if you have very dry skin, then restore the moisture balance, return to each cell a healthy life cycle. It will be very good if the composition of your cream will include essential oils, marine collagen, soy proteins, phytodermine-C. They restore the natural hydrolipid layer of the skin.

Before going to bed, you need to cleanse your skin of make-up - make a make-up remover - with milk, foam or gel, then wipe the skin with a tonic. This is necessary because at night the skin is saturated with oxygen, restores its strength and is ready to absorb useful substances. To saturate the skin with these most useful substances, you need a night cream. For the skin, which has signs of aging, you need a special cream. It can include such elements as provitamin B5, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E - promoting cells renewal and preventing the formation of wrinkles; vegetable ceramides, marine collagen, silk protein - which help maintain skin elasticity and soften it; extracts from algae, wheat germ and jojoba oil. When choosing cosmetics, be guided by the type of your skin. In general, there are four types of skin: normal, oily, dry and combination. Bold and normal skin type are rare. Basically, there are dry and combination skin. There are also different skin conditions - sensitive, healthy and problematic. Let's consider what type of skin, what cosmetics are suitable.
