Winter challenges women’s beauty. Wind, frost, snow, hats, dry indoor air. It seems that everything is against toned, smooth skin and an even complexion. Women try to improve their appearance with various masks, dermal fillers, and facial massages, and cosmetic treatments such as tear trough filler to refresh tired spots under the eyes. And let’s not forget, that there are still holidays ahead, and you need to be on top! Nature will help us to protect ourselves from peeling and dented appearance. In this article, you will find some tips for winter skincare.
Extreme cosmetics
When we leave the heated room in the cold, and then go back, and out again several times during the day – the skin is under serious stress. It spends internal resources on constant adaptation to these temperature extremes. Let’s add other stresses to this and understand that skin cells work for wear and tear. Hence the first tip: switch to SOS products – intensively moisturizing formulations, anti-stress cosmetics, peptides.
The secret of beautiful lips
There are special products to protect the delicate skin of the lips for the winter period. Also, keep chapstick or lip oil in your bag. Apply them not only before going outside but at home as well. Lips also need a scrub just like other skin. Thanks to it, the lipstick lies smoother, and the lips look healthier and more attractive.
Aloe lotion
Many have this plant at their homes. As a last resort, it can be purchased at almost any flower shop. It costs a penny, but it is very unpretentious, grows quickly, and brings a lot of benefits.
So, you need a couple of healthy, succulent leaves. Chop them finely and pour in ½ liter of cold water. Let them steep for 2-3 hours, then put on low heat and bring to a boil. When the broth has cooled, add 1 tablespoon of glycerin (you can buy it at any pharmacy). All is ready. You need to store it in the refrigerator, as natural cosmetics quickly deteriorate. Lotion can be used to wipe the face or use as a compress, which is kept for 10 minutes.
This product is ideal for tired skin where the first wrinkles appear. The face becomes softer and the skin tone evens out. And it is not surprising, because aloe is the fundamental principle of many store-bought creams and tonics, as it tones the skin and slows down the aging process.
Do what you can’t do in summer
While peels and frequent use of brightening cosmetics are not recommended during the sunny period, in the winter there is an opportunity to focus on this. If you need to direct your care to combat unwanted pigmentation, now is the time. After all, suppressing the synthesis of pigment will no longer expose the skin to such a risk of damage by ultraviolet rays, as it happens during a period of high solar activity. Sun protection is crucial, especially when using products like peels which can temporarily thin the skin. The importance of this care has been highlighted by BONIIK, where you can shop sun care products to protect and nourish your skin even under the brightest sun.
Gentle hands
Hands also need to be protected and moisturized in winter. Remember to always carry hand cream, gloves, or mittens with you to protect your skin from damage. Manicure and jewelry will look very different on healthy hands than on frozen and flaky hands.
Hot oil mask for very dry skin
It happens that in the cold and frost, the skin begins to peel off, looks unkempt and pale. Then the person needs an ambulance, and almond oil (sold in most pharmacies and cosmetic stores) will provide it. It contains a large amount of another antioxidant, vitamin E, therefore it helps to maintain skin tone and moisturize it.
So, we take a teaspoon of oil, heat, and moisten cloth or cotton wool. We spread them on the face, cover them, where possible, with towels. After 15 minutes, wash off the mask. It will perfectly moisturize the skin and solve the problem of flaking. You can also apply a couple of drops of almond oil overnight to the eye area, then blot with a tissue. This will have a positive effect on the condition of the eyelids and slow down the aging process.
Enrich your cream
With the change of seasons, for many, the type of skin may slightly shift to one side or another: the skin may dry out or become more sensitive. Most often, combination skin becomes closer to normal, normal skin acquires dry areas. It is important to hear these first bells and give the skin what it no longer suffices: additional hydration, nutrition, protection, strengthening of blood vessels. At the same time, if you already have a favorite cream, there is still a lot of it and there is no desire to change it, start adding a few drops of serum or oil to it with the desired effect.
