Winter Skin Care Tips - You Must Learn

 
Due to winds and cold temperatures outside as well as drying-low humidity resulting from heating inside, the winter season can be extremely stressful for our skin. In this season, the cold and dry air would take off every bit of moisture from your skin and leave you chapped, blotchy, itchy, flaky and dry. Avocado Mask will supply your skin with a whole range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and softening agents to fight winter dryness.

You need special skin care because

• When you are inside, your skin is losing its moisture due to the dry environment created by indoor heating. For this it feels tight, dry and can start flaking.
• When you are outside, the cold temperatures result in a poor blood circulation in your facial skin.For this skin does not get enough nutrients and oxygen and all the healthy, regenerative processes in your skin slow down. As a result, skin looses its healthy color and becomes dull or pale.
• For the  shifting between the cold outside and the warm and dry inside environments the difference is so big and stressful for your skin that your skin naturally cannot balance itself quickly enough. This results in loss of hydration, irritation, widened capillaries and redness. All of the above mentioned contributes to your skin’s misbalance, stress, sensitivity and dryness.

Home-Made Face Masks: Avocado Mask

An avocado mask is perfect for dry skin that may become very irritated in the winter. It is easy to make:

• Mash the flesh of avocado with a fork,
• Add a touch of extra-virgin olive oil, and
• Apply this smooth, fragrant mixture onto your face.

This nourishing mask will supply your skin with a whole range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and softening agents to fight winter dryness.

For winter, one can use for healthy skin the cleansing milk which contains soothing lavender, aloe butter, chamolie flower and jojoba; capillary strengthening blend with neroli and carrot seed; intensive repair balm to increase circulation, reduce redness, promote elasticity, nourish skin and provide a thick moisture barrier; and eirming eye gel with elder, chamomile, rose hip seed, borage, green myrtle and nettle to moisturize and increase elasticity and microcirculation for softness.

For a beautiful and healthy skin during winter you need:

• Protective hydrolipid barrier
• Protect and balance your skin, and moisturize
• Protect skin against UV-light

Some tips to get beautiful skin in winter:

• Use a mild facial cleanser.
• Switch to a richer facial moisturiser. Drier times call for more intense moisturisers.
• Avoid exfoliating. The dry air in many homes actually exfoliates skin, and you need to moisturise.
• Apply moisturiser to skin after showering.
• Pare down your shower schedule. Long, hot showers can rob the skin of much-needed moisture. To avoid this, shower as infrequently as possible. If you feel comfort, take shower every day. Also, keep showers short and opt for warm water over hot.
• Continue to apply sunscreen, or a moisturiser with sunscreen, daily.
• Run a humidifier in the bedroom. Letting a humidifier run while you sleep will help by putting moisture back into the air.
• Dry and cracking hands and feet are common in this period. To treat hands, reduce the frequency of hand washing (which saps moisture from skin) and apply a Hand Cream. For feet, apply an antibiotic ointment, while feet are still damp after shower.
• Skin really takes a beating from wind and cold and needs extra protection.
• For oily skin, not much change in regimen is necessary, unless you're being exposed to harsh outdoor elements. Stay with a light moisturiser, preferably one with a beta hydroxy acid whose gentle exfoliating properties lift away dull skin for a more radiant complexion. However, do not exfoliate with scrubs or masks as frequently as in warmer months.
• As the area around the eyes also can become dryer, make sure they are receiving optimal moisturisation.
• Factor in individual skin type and geographic location when adapting your skincare regimen for winter. If your skin is dry, you'll be more prone to suffering the effects of harsh weather.
