Winter care for the skin of the face

So the cold came. In winter, our skin needs special attention. Under the influence of low temperature, prickly snow, wind, the skin, especially dry, is often covered with red spots due to malnutrition, and is scaly. Therefore, if you do not take appropriate measures, the skin will quickly fade.

First of all, with dry sensitive face skin should not be washed with tap water. It is better to use for refining infusion of chamomile, infusion of lime-colored, slightly brewed tea. You can prepare the following for washing:

• on a glass of boiled water add 1 tablespoon of glycerin or 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar;
• a wonderful means - "rose" water: a glass of dry rose petals, preferably red, pour hot water, insist 24 hours, strain and add 1 tablespoon of glycerin.

Very dry face skin should be wiped with any vegetable oil or non-acid yogurt. To wash it is necessary not later, than for half an hour before an exit on street. After washing, lubricate the face with any suitable nourishing cream - lanolin, spermaceous, mink, with the addition of almond, peach or olive oil, soak excess with a napkin and powder.

For oily skin, bad weather, cold and wind are less of a threat. When caring for her, you should pay attention to the removal of secreted sebum. Therefore, you should wash yourself with soap, gel or a suitable type of foam. Instead of soap, it is good to use almond bran, which is mixed with hot water to the consistency of sour cream. After cooling, the resulting gruel is applied to the face for 5-10 minutes and then removed with a swab moistened with boiled water. Fatty skin needs to be powdered, since the powder absorbs fat release and protects from the influence of low temperature and wind.

In winter, facial skin is especially in need of nutrition. In addition to the use of creams, it is desirable at least once a week to make a nourishing mask. Here are examples of simple masks for dry skin:

• Art. a spoonful of cottage cheese, a teaspoon of lemon juice, a teaspoon of sour cream, an egg yolk - well nourishes, moisturizes and softens the skin;

Masks for oily skin:

• 50 g of stale rye bread, 50 g of sour milk - recommended for oily porous skin, has a strong effect;

• juice of one red ripe tomato mixed with a half of egg yolk and 1 tbsp. spoon of oatmeal. This mask cleans and tightens the pores, strengthens the tone of the skin. All masks are applied a thick layer for 20-25 minutes, then washed off with warm water.

If you like winter sports, walks or just have to stay outside for a long time, you need to temper the skin to prevent cooling. It works well on the skin with contrasting washing with cold and warm water. It is very useful to make a light facial massage with ice cubes from broths of various herbs: chamomile, mint, sage, lime color.
