Video 10 TIPS FOR A WINTER SKIN CARE ROUTINE | Dr Dray
Winter frosts and piercing wind negatively affect the sensitive skin of the face and hands. Roughness, cracks and a grid with small red vessels appear. In order for these problems to pass, you need regular skin care in winter.
Facial skin care
With the advent of the cold season, the skin of the face is subjected to serious tests. Frosty wind provokes irritation, and in buildings with heating equipment it quickly dries up. The active action of the sebaceous and sweat glands is weakened, for this reason, the skin secret that protects the epidermis is produced in a much smaller amount. In severe frost, small drops of moisture on the skin lead to spasm of blood vessels, which is expressed in dryness, blue and roughness. For this reason, it is preferable to apply moisturizers indoors, and if going outside is foreseen, choose oily, emollient and protective creams. Moisturizers and other protection products should be applied one hour before going out into the cold. During a given period of time, the moisture located on the epidermis will have time to saturate the surface and also develop a protective layer.
Makeup base selection
Girls with normal and dry skin should use a cream rich in vitamin E with natural oils as a base for make-up. Owners of combination or predisposed to oily skin, light emulsions are more suitable. However, the product should be easily absorbed instantly and give the face a natural softness, protecting from low temperatures. With a tendency to brittleness and expansion of capillaries, creams that have the effect of anti-couperosis can help. The purpose of these funds is the formation of a protective cover, which guarantees a comfortable stay in the cold. Certain types of anti-couperose creams have a slightly light green tone, which masks the capillary network.
Face masks and peeling
To maintain healthy and beautiful facial skin in winter, it is recommended to use masks. At home, starch, vitamins, egg yolk are added to masks. For normal and dry skin, sour cream with a high percentage of fat content is suitable; for skin prone to oily or combination skin, it would be better to use mountain ash or viburnum juice. In order to give a fresh look, beet or carrot juice is added. Regarding peeling in winter, it is better to use products based on fruit acid. In warm periods, their use is dangerous due to the occurrence of excessive pigmentation, but in cold periods they are more appropriate.
Hand protection
Receptive and velvety skin of the hands suffers under the influence of cold - vascular spasms cause unpleasant and painful sensations, redness and dryness appear. For this reason, before leaving the room, you should carefully cover your hands with a protective oily cream, and it is better if it is based on glycerin, with vitamins A and E in the composition.
If you take care of the skin correctly and in a timely manner, it will have a healthy and beautiful appearance in any winter period. Almost no cold will pose a threat to her.
