Winter – time of nutritional cosmetics, which help safely to go through all the vagaries of weather and hardships of beriberi and lasted until the spring without loss to the exterior.

The fact that during the cold season should eat well, even a child knows. Carrying a balanced diet, our body becomes vulnerable to all sorts of “winter” of viruses. Skin and hair also needs a special diet – cosmetics that are able to imbue her with everything you need. Try to understand that you need to change on a daily grooming, and outline the required minimum winter.

OH, FROST
Our face all the time in the limelight, and in winter it is less than other parts of the body is protected from the cold and especially in need of proper care and nutrition. Therefore, with frosts in the usual beauty rituals need to make changes. For example, at zero temperature outside dermatologists recommend using day intensive moisturizers, and after six in the evening – nutritious. But in less the opposite: in the morning is better to apply nutrient, and at night – moisturizing.

These recommendations are explained simply, at low temperatures, nutrient protects, and moisturizer, by contrast, makes the skin more vulnerable to cold. The fact is that it not only contains water, but also delays the moisture in the surface layers of the epidermis. In the cold water freezes, as a result of the dermis is covered with an ultra-thin ice crust and the deposition of the invisible micro-cracks. In the warmth melts the ice, on the cheeks and forehead may even tread moisture and micro-wounds remain – it is through these bacteria and viruses that subsequently fall into the deep layers of the epidermis. As a result, there are a variety of facial redness, rashes and irritation. Particularly evident, this process is for young children in the skin that contain more water than adults. If you do not walk in front of the winter to protect babies face special creams, then later her cheeks redden and fumes will be shelled. In advanced cases, after such exits to the street and children, and adults must be treated with antibiotics.

Nourishing moisturizers creams contain enough water, but they contain special ingredients that are “dragged” the moisture in the deeper layers of skin – where it will not freeze. In addition, funds are nourishing oils that form on the surface of the epidermis extra layer that protects it from cold and wind. Just remember to put the cream must be at least 10 minutes before going outside.

Many holders of oily skin believe that nourishing cream them completely useless – they say it clogs the pores, because it appeared shine and acne. This is not so: in the winter nutrient resources are necessary for all. The human body is at 80% of water, and the skin is the most voluminous body of water, here is more moisture than anywhere else. Accordingly, the water begins to freeze outdoors and unprotected person will experience the same thing as excessive moisture.

To feel comfortable after application of nourishing cream, you need to correctly pick up the texture. Carefully read the label on the package. If there is the word “fluid”, it means that this tool is very easy and suitable for oily skin. “Light cream” is designed for people with a combined normal and type. A thick cream – specially designed for owners of dry epidermis.

Ironically, the day cream, which you plan to use in winter, sun protection factor SPF should be at least 8. On clear frosty days UV light is not less than in summer. To make matters worse, and that 90% of UV rays reflect off snow, which means that their losses from increased almost twice. In addition, ultraviolet light does not come only from the sun, but also on technology – computer or television. And of them also have to defend. Note that the SPF is especially necessary to ladies over 35 years: they have radiation provokes problems with blood vessels and stimulates the formation of age spots.

However, just abandon the moisturizers in the cold season is not worth it. Just need to be used in the evening, after returning home and only if you believe in this day more than on the street do not leave. In the winter dry skin mainly in the areas – because of the heaters. To restore moisture balance in epidermis help special moisturizing serum. Cause them to be after 17:00 or just before bedtime.

WINTER CLOTHES
In contrast, a person’s body in the cold well sheltered under the clothes. The contours of the figure seen is not so clear, but because many women prefer to forget about it until spring. But this is not worth it. First, many sweaters virtually block access of oxygen to the skin, which means that not only the epidermis is not breathing, but preet and sweats, which leads to rapid dehydration and irritation. Second, winter clothes, as a rule, noticeably heavier and coarser than the summer. Due to the mechanical action of warm fabrics and low humidity, which is characteristic for our winters, the skin may begin to peel off.

Add to this a lack of vitamins and low locomotor activity (which also affects the state of the epidermis) and the spring will get a disappointing result: the body becomes less attractive, and accelerate the aging process…

To avoid these evils, you should daily after shower or bath applied to the body special funds: balm, lotion, cream, etc., which are the main function of nutrition and hydration. Protection from the negative impact of the environment must stand in second place.

Before buying the tools to carefully read the label of the body, paying special attention to the composition. The cream must be made from vegetable oils. To acquire the means to mineral oils, including petroleum jelly and paraffin wax, do not: the fact that these ingredients are the product of oil refining. When applied to mineral oils in the skin produce a film which, on the one hand, it prevents moisture loss, saving the skin from drying out and feeling of tightness, but, on the other hand, does not breathe the epidermis and can cause clogging of pores and the appearance of comedones.

WEATHER IN THE HOUSE
Nourish the face and body, do not forget about the hair: the arrival of cold weather they need also appear in the nutrient cosmetics. Sudden changes in temperature, which we constantly feel in winter, when a warm room out into the frost and vice versa, a negative effect on hair and scalp, promoting hair loss.

Protect hair from adverse weather conditions will help to mask and leave-in conditioner. Masks must be used twice a week, and they should not only take care of hair, but intensely nourish the scalp, preventing the occurrence of dandruff (all of these properties must be indicated on the packaging). Leave-in conditioner and balm is best to use every day: they create a protective layer on the hair, protects against the negative environmental impact. Remember that the texture is very light leave-in conditioner: they are imperceptible to the curls on top of them you can use any styling products.
