The skin in the winter: the top tips from aging

Western beauticians believe that modern women do not need special winter cosmetics. For urban women rarely appear on the street: the house - in the car, out of the car - to the office. Russian beauticians believe that, if we take the Western beautician and make it run on the freezing streets of Moscow to the car, he would take it back

In our latitudes without special protective cosmetics can become a scaly monster within 5 minutes of being on the chilly wind. So let's look at how to protect your skin from the cold.

Each girl living in our latitudes know that in the winter it is necessary to dress warmly as possible, wrap the neck scarf, head - in his cap, his hands - in mittens, boots warmer ... But the face insulation is not invented. We have to go out and face suffer from the fact that the cold air to freeze the skin of water and nutrients.

As a result, cracks appear on the epidermis and peeling. How to avoid it? Previously, our grandmothers, not spoiled by the pharmaceutical industry, the winter face smeared goose fat or melted fat. Today, protective creams made on the basis of the same goose (or mink, duck, lanolin, etc.) Of fat, but it smells popriyatney and seasoned with extra vitamins.

Barrier creams must contain a minimum of water - otherwise they will be absorbed and not forming the protective film. Apply these creams should be a thin layer along the massage lines. After returning home from a walk the cream must be washed off.

Velvet sponge

The easiest and most inexpensive way to protect the lips from drying and cracking - a chapstick. It usually happens on the basis of beeswax and palm wax. Determine which wax was used in the manufacture of lipstick, you can, without looking at the list of ingredients for the price. Means beeswax usually expensive.

Apply lipstick every two hours is necessary to stay on the air. Plus, you should try as little as possible to lick his lips and, unfortunately, it is better not to kiss. Moist weather-beaten lips terribly fast! If you had this trouble - his lips were covered with cracks and patches of skin peeling off, the lipstick will not help. For emergency needs some lip balm. The composition of the balsam-like, only enriched with vitamins, plant extracts and trace elements. If you like winter a lot of time on the hill with sleds and skis, you will approach balm with chamomile and calendula to soften the skin and soothe inflammation of the lips. To enhance the immunity of the epidermis can be used balm with vitamins A, E and C.

The delicate skin century

If the lips and skin, you can use the same protective cream (yes, it's not very pleasant to the taste on his lips, but in the case of loss of chapstick rescue), the age required for personal protection.

The problem is that most of the creams contained in lanolin is harmful to the mucous membrane of the eyes and the delicate skin of the eyelids. It can cause swelling, and many vitamins and minerals that skin age can not absorb, can trigger allergies. So for this zone have to choose funds marked "for the eyelid skin." This winter makeup is not much different from the summer. It contains vitamins, antioxidants, collagen, and a small amount of liquid.

Expert opinion

Milena Simon to. M. N., A physician-dermatologist, cosmetologist:

- For different skin types developed various means of protection. But the most important rules you must follow when selecting the "winter" cream - it's his fat base. Alternative protective cosmetics based on animal fat does not exist yet. If you have not yet reserved a special tool, as a security, you can use baby cream or greasy night cream. However, these creams have moisturizing properties. Therefore, they should be applied 30-40 minutes before going home to have time to absorb the moisture. Otherwise, after leaving home, your skin will be covered with icy crust - the moisture contained in the cream is frozen. And the skin will suffer.
