Remember ..

Our make-up bag should undergo a little modernisation in winter. The protective cosmetics used should definitely be greasier and thicker.

Important! In winter, the sebaceous glands work more slowly, the skin with less sebum is more prone to dehydration and also to dryness.

Which cream should you choose?

The choice of cream is extremely important. A day cream should fulfil several functions - nourish and protect against wind and cold. Important! It is good if the cream is enriched with vitamin E and aloe vera.

Face creams should have in their composition:

hyaluronic acid, which protects against redness and the breaking of blood vessels,
ceramides, which seal and thus prevent water evaporation,
natural protective ingredients (NMI), usually mixtures of various compounds (e.g. amino acids, sodium lactates),
uVA and UVB filters, which absorb UV radiation.

As mentioned above, the cream used in winter needs to be greasy - it leaves an oily film on the skin so that water stays in the epidermis, does not freeze, and protects against frost and wind.

Important! Oily creams sometimes contain comedogenic substances in their composition, which have an influence on the formation of imperfections on the skin (e.g. blackheads). When you get home, wash off the cream and gently cleanse your face.

Body lotions

It is not only the face that needs different care in winter, the same applies to the body. During the winter season, use lotions that are enriched:

urea
glycerine,
aragon oil,
shea butter,
panthenol,
allantoin.

Important! A lotion used in winter should contain ingredients that renew the lipid mantle, gently lubricate and protect against free radicals.

Changing your foundation

Fluids used in winter should above all contain less water. It is advisable to use products with silicone (more durable on the face even in severe cold). The best foundations are those in compact or thick cream (mousse) form.

Important! Products of this type are characterised by their resistance to temperature changes. It is also important that they contain a higher proportion of pigments, which guarantee good coverage, thus avoiding redness (e.g. nose).

Say no to loose powder

In winter, loose powder should be avoided. It can dry out the skin and make it look cracked.

Important! Use green concealer, it will perfectly cover up the red nose and cheeks. A cream concealer is best.

Waterproof cosmetics only

Mascara, lipstick, eyeliner should be waterproof, otherwise they won't last on the skin.

In winter, it's important to protect your lips: buy a greasy balm or lipstick and apply it before you go out. This protects against chapped or cracked lips.

Important! Lipstick should contain wax (natural or synthetic) in its composition

Regeneration is important

In the winter season, it is important to take care of skin regeneration, it is worth using:

exfoliation, which not only removes dead skin cells, but also makes the active substances contained in the creams used better absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin,
moisturising serums with hyaluronic acid and vitamins and skin-renewing ingredients,
regenerating lotions - by massaging the skin, circulation is stimulated, resulting in a fresher and softer skin tone.

Remember to..

Hands and hair should not be forgotten in winter care. For the former, use light creams that are quickly absorbed. It is a good idea to apply a greasy cream to your hands before bedtime (this will moisturise them). Hair in autumn and winter tends to become static, so use shampoos that lightly weigh it down. In addition, use conditioners to combat hair loss (a problem in winter) and natural oils (once a week).
