How to take care of your skin in winter

Every day the thermometer's column goes lower. Winter cold with frosty winds is just around the corner, and all this adversely affects our unprotected skin. In addition, the air in the rooms heated in winter is unusually dry - this also does not benefit the health.

How to properly care for the face skin in the winter, how to protect it from possible damage?

It's no secret that beauty begins from within. In winter, we use less vitamins in the form of fruits and vegetables, so with the onset of cold weather as a prophylactic drink the course of ascorbic acid, any mineral vitamin complex. This will help to cope with the winter load, not only your skin, but the whole body.

The second important rule is moisturizing. For the winter, stock up on greasy nourishing creams for the body and face.

In the morning, be sure to use a moisturizing face cream. A little secret: try to apply a thin layer of night before using day cream. The night cream contains more moisturizing ingredients. Do not forget that after applying the cream you can go out in the street only after half an hour, otherwise the moisture contained in the cream will not have time to soak up and freeze - and this destroys the skin cells, leads to peeling.

In the evening, remove makeup better than cosmetic milk, and not tonic or lotion. In molochke more humidifying or wetting components. Spirituous cosmetics in the winter are absolutely counter-indicative!

In winter, the skin of a face of any type becomes sensitive, so carefully choose a cream, give preference to a cream for a dry and mixed skin type.

In addition to daily procedures, in winter twice a week pamper skin with nourishing masks: they support the general tone of the skin, saturate it with vitamins. You can buy ready-made masks or cook them yourself. Ideally, if the composition of the mask includes honey or olive oil - they perfectly nourish and soothe the skin.

If the winter begins to peel off the skin, use a mask-film. After such a mask, gently massage your face with a scrub, and then always use a nourishing mask. This simple procedure will help to remove the dead skin cells, which begin to peel off. But you should not abuse the mask and scrub in winter: the skin always needs time to recover after peeling, and in winter regeneration processes slow down.

In the cold, do not forget about the skin of the hands.

Change the usual hand cream to a greasy one. Ideally suitable special cream with the mark "protection from cold": in their composition specially selected moisturizing components.

In addition, do not forget to protect your nails: they also suffer from the cold, and from the lack of vitamins. Buy a special oil for nails, it is applied in the same way as simply a varnish, and at the same time protects the surface of the nails, nourishes them, softens the cuticle.

Additional moisturizing is just as important. To do this, you can use a special massage oil for hands - a couple of drops gently rub every evening, from the center of the palm to the fingertips. Moisten and protect the skin of the hands help the tub with warmed olive oil.

All the same rules apply to the skin of the body: do not forget to use body milk after the bath. Do a massage more often - it warms the skin, once again trains the vessels.

In winter, the body is subject to high loads, than in the summer. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to ourselves. Do not be lazy, once again use a moisturizer - and your skin will say thank you.

Every woman should know how to properly care for the skin of the face in winter, in order to preserve their beauty and youth.
