Skin care by season
The changing seasons primarily affect the skin of the face. Dryness, pollution, signs of premature aging- an incomplete list of the consequences of improper skin care. Read how to protect your skin below.
Winter skin care
The main problem that every woman encounters in winter is the loss of moisture and elasticity... At the same time, there is a change in skin types, for example, oily becomes normal, dry - hypersensitive, etc. This should be taken into account before purchasing special cosmetics.
Early in the morning, before applying makeup and going outside, it is necessary to thoroughly protect the skin of the face. For this, our ancestors used pork and lamb fat. Today, there are a large number of creams that help protect the skin from low temperatures. For this, it is better to choose firms of Russian manufacturers. Who else but our biochemists will be able to develop a special composition to protect the skin, taking into account the specifics of the middle band. Such creams lay on the face with a small film of fat, which protects the skin from the negative effects of snow, low temperature and wind.
On a winter morning, cosmetologists do not advise using creams with a moisturizing effect, because they contain hydroelements that can freeze in the cold. Also, experts advise not to resort to the use of summer cosmetics, as they lead to the accumulation of moisture.
In winter, many girls complain of acne. This may be due to the reaction of the skin to frost or disruption of endocrine processes. In order to avoid unwanted rashes, girls with problem skin need to use a protective cream daily. In order for the skin to be in good shape, it is necessary to change the washing process.
To do this, moisten a towel with hot water and leave it on your face for a couple of minutes, then take another one moistened with cold water. Repeat this procedure several times.
An oatmeal mask helps to get rid of acne.
For cooking, it is necessary to dilute the rolled oats in warm milk. Apply the resulting mixture on the face and leave for 10 minutes until a film forms. For good effectiveness, the mask must be washed off with green tea.
In the evening, in order to restore the missing liquid in the skin, it is necessary to use a night cream, after removing the makeup, but it is not recommended to do this with plain water, since it washes off the hydrolipidic film that protects the skin from frost. Therefore, it is best to use lotion, milk, cream and toner (not alcohol based).
Serums and nourishing creams are suitable for evening moisturizing, anti-aging agents for women over 30. The composition of modern drugs includes hyaluronic acid, which provides firmness and elasticity of the skin, protecting it from premature aging.
Makeup in winter is useful. With its help, a barrier is formed that protects the skin from premature aging and negative influences from nature. Before makeup, the skin must be saturated with a protective cream. In winter, you need to apply foundation, powder and lipstick, otherwise there may be problems with the dermis.
Spring skin care
Winter has come to an end, the sun is already beginning to warm the earth and wake nature up from sleep. As the weather changes, you need to change your skin care.
After cold weather, the face suffers from dehydration, which leads to flaking. Therefore, scrubbing in the spring is necessary, but it should be done infrequently, about once a week before bedtime. Homemade masks made from natural yogurt or sour cream are perfect for peeling.
In the spring, it is necessary to maintain a drinking regime, which will nourish the skin both from the outside and from the inside. Before the active sun appears, you can use the injection of hyaluronic acid. In addition, it is advisable to use creams with a moisturizing effect. Not all women are advised to change their cosmetics (switching from a fat cream to a moisturizer). If you feel that your skin still needs a nourishing cream, then it is not worth changing.
In the spring, the skin needs vitamins. Their absence and excess is manifested in the same way. For example, a lack of vitamin A leads to flaking and dryness, the same result is characteristic of an excess of retinol. If you feel that you have vitamin deficiency, see your doctor. And use creams with vitamins according to the instructions.
The sun becomes more active in spring, so it is necessary to use a cream with SPF 20-30, especially if you are often outdoors. It also helps whiten and hide pigmentation.
Skin care should be done regularly and systematically.
Summer skin care
Heat and ultraviolet light negatively affect the skin, so skin care is essential.
To moisturize the skin in the amount it needs, you need to wash your face at least twice a day using a moisturizer instead of a nourishing one. Before going out, it is advisable to apply a cream with an SPF filter on the face.
You can saturate the skin with vitamins by consuming fresh fruits and vegetables. In this case, you need to drink about two liters of water and other liquids.
In summer, the skin should not be subjected to deep peeling, because the upper layer of the epidermis plays a protective role against ultraviolet rays. It is also worth refraining from makeup, because it clogs the pores, which causes problems with the face. To prevent this from happening, make masks regularly.
Oily and dry skin types need summer care like no other. To do this, you can use moisturizing masks, which can be easily prepared at home.
The most popular mask is made from fresh berries, fruits and vegetables. To do this, it is necessary to grind any ingredient from the previously listed and mix with sour cream or yogurt. The mask provides the necessary nutrition and hydration.
For effective cleansing, use a milky solution. Cooking is easy enough. Mix water and milk in a 1: 1 ratio. You need to use the solution both in the morning and in the evening.
If the above method does not work for you, use a lemon solution. By mixing water with citrus juice (2: 1). They should also wash after and before bedtime.
In the summer, you need to carefully approach the choice of masks. Lemon, cucumber, strawberry and other foods contain acid and whiten the skin. Therefore, after use, it is necessary to refrain from sunburn for two days in order to avoid the appearance of age spots.
Skin care in autumn
After a warm and sunny summer, the skin becomes especially dirty and dehydrated, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and other unwanted changes. In order to eliminate the effects of summer, complex skin care is needed, which primarily consists in cleansing and moisturizing.
Oily skin type requires special attention. A moisturizer should have a mattifying effect to remove the oily sheen. For deep cleansing, you must use special scrubs.
If over the summer the skin has become very dry, the process of peeling has begun, use thermal water, which can restore the required level of minerals and trace elements in the skin.
To saturate the skin with essential substances and minerals, use fruit masks... Grated apple with a small addition of cream, sour cream and vegetable oil shows good results.
