Good Lifestyle

Winter arrives: the temperatures are lowered, rain and snow arrive, the wind is stronger and colder, moisture is sometimes unbearable. And the skin? Obviously he suffers, becoming red, dry and chapped. How to take care of the skin to make it healthy and bright even in the most rigid months of the year? Here are some simple, but effective tips to follow.

Awareness

Be aware of your skin is indispensable. Know the main features and its peculiarities helps us to understand how our skin responds to changes in the environment and what needs to adapt to the best. It is also important to know what the ingredients of potentially irritating products are and which instead are able to reinvigorate it and illuminate it in a very short time. For example, if after the shower you feel the skin tense and feel the need to soften it with a cream, it is likely that your detergent is too aggressive and has altered the balance of the epidermis. Consider replacing it with a more delicate detergent.

Hydration

In the winter months the skin often becomes dry and more sensitive due to the cold and also of the heating of the rooms in which we live. To keep the skin hydrated it can be effective to replace mid-morning coffee with good green tea, which helps to hydrate the epidermis and enriches it with antioxidants. Even skin cleansing is important for hydration: a healthy and compact skin prevents moisture from infilting in the deepest layers.

Skin without residues

Clean skin, breathes better. If particular attention is paid in the removal of makeup, impurities and smog that has been deposited on our skin during the day you will certainly have a healthier, bright and fresh cute even in winter. To achieve this result, natural soaps and little aggressive micellar waters are often effective.

Indoor and outdoor treatments

If during the day I feel the need to apply a moisturizing product several times on the skin, it is likely that yoursskincare need a change. If you use a lotion, a slight hydrant cream can be preferred to apply with short massages; If you already use a cream, but the results are not the hoped ones, it is likely that a lotion to the essential oils of rose or chamomile can make a difference. Finally, but not by importance, consider professional treatments. Every four weeks (this is the time that the skin uses to regenerate) Allow yourself an exfoliating treatment to eliminate dead skin and allow a better epidermis response to the products used daily at home.

Drink a lot (but no alcoholic)

To have luminous skin, hydrated and free from imperfections it is of fundamental importance to pay attention to food. For example, numerous research has shown that drinking too many alcoholic drinks favors the onset of psoriasis, eczema and redness, dehydrated the body and hinders cell regeneration. On the other hand, drinking at least two liters of water a day favors tissue hydration and more rapid regeneration of the epidermis.

Solar creams

The fact that winter does not mean putting solar creams completely pause. It is true that UV rays are reduced compared to summer, but I am still able to act significantly on our skin. The protection is also important because exposing yourself to the winter sun can make a difference to keep the vitamin D levels adequate in the body. Enjoy the sun as much as possible, without forgetting the sunscreen!
