Caring for the skin in winter
It's no secret that in winter the skin requires special care. In winter, taking care of the skin, you need to consider what type it is: oily or normal or dry. And the same nutrients can not be applied to all skin types. If it is wrong to take care of the skin in winter, it will cause premature aging, small cracks appear, the skin will lose its elasticity, puffiness, redness, peeling and excessive dryness will appear. What it is necessary to know, that the skin of a body and the face in a cold time was shining, velvety and smooth?
In winter, the skin needs to be nourished and moistened
In winter we spend a lot of time in heated rooms, and this air dries the skin, so it requires more moisture. According to cosmetologists, it is necessary to apply the cream 40 minutes before going out, but it will be better if this time is increased to one hour. This also applies to fatty creams, because such products contain at least 25% of water. If you go out earlier, it will lead to peeling, dryness and supercooling of the skin. The ideal way out of this situation will be if the cream will combine the functions of moisturizing and nutrition. They should be selected depending on the skin of the face.
Oily skin needs moisturizing
Oily skin is lighter than dry skin tolerates frost, but can not maintain water balance, and it really needs moisturizing. For this we will use the means of traditional medicine. Oily skin moisturizes fresh aloe juice, it can be used as a lotion. You can use the cabbage mask. Grind the cabbage leaves in a food processor, until liquid. Apply the mixture for 15 or 20 minutes on face, and then rinse with warm water. These procedures are best done before bedtime, they can not be performed before going out.

To be able to normalize the water balance, you need to drink a day to 2 liters of clean water. The type of skin in winter in most people varies, if in the spring, summer and autumn you have oily skin, then in winter the skin becomes normal.

Do not use a cream with a high level of protection, like SPF-40, SPF-50, it is justified to apply SPF-10 cream. It should be applied as a basis for a day cream or for make-up. It is also good to use a gel or light whey, in which a large number of antioxidants (blue cornflower, calendula, chamomile, green tea, grape seeds). On sale there are nourishing and moisturizing creams, which already contain the SPF-filter.
It is necessary to conduct deep cleaning of the skin at any time of the year, including in winter. Exfoliation allows you to remove dead skin cells, but this procedure should not be abused, as it will lead to the drying of the skin. Once a week, this procedure should be carried out for the body.
