Winter time is a real nightmare for all those who like to look perfect. Red noses from the cold, often runny, chapped lips and dry patches that emerge from under makeup are the standard features of this season. However, it can be fought. We only need to make one change.
Why does skin look worse in winter?
It’s hard to expect that your skin will look as good in winter as it does in the rest of the year if our routine looks the same as usual. The temperature drops significantly and the humidity drops with it. Let’s add to this the heating season, which means additional dehumidification of the air and frequent changes in temperature when we enter buildings from outside, as well as exhaust fumes, smog and smoke from chimneys suspended in the air. Voila! We have a recipe for ugly skin.
Winter cream under makeup is not the only thing that needs to be changed
This is possible provided that we adapt to changing weather conditions. The main goal this time of year is to stay hydrated. Base? We will repeat ad nauseam that if we want beautiful skin, we need to drink 1.5 liters of water a day. Moreover, you need to take care of your skin from the outside.
Winter cream under makeup is something that we should change as soon as the temperature drops a few notches. In summer we choose lighter creams, in winter it’s time for something fatter. These will keep the skin moisturized and protected against water loss. Additionally, it will create a kind of filter that protects against external factors: dry and cold air and pollution. It is worth reading product packaging and choosing creams that will moisturize properly, but will also be suitable under makeup. For the night, it is worth buying a stronger cream that will regenerate the skin well after the whole day.
You should also wash your face thoroughly after the whole day. A single splash of water with a bit of gel is probably not enough to remove impurities, makeup and clean what is in the pores, wrinkles and recesses. It is worth choosing a two-stage facial cleansing. In winter, you must not forget about exfoliation. Dry cuticles will not disfigure our face if we use peeling regularly.
An important issue – although not only in winter – is not to touch your face or to do it very rarely and gently. We have a lot of dirt and germs on our hands. When we rub our skin, we rub all of this into it. This spoils the make-up and can also lead to the appearance of pimples.
