Cosmetics that can severely damage the skin in winter.
One season replaces another, and with it the requirements for the cosmetics used. The choice of cosmetics depends not only on skin type, age and purpose, but also on the climatic conditions that each season brings. In winter it is cold, often frosty weather and overdried air from heating in the house, informs Ukr.Media.
Alcohol-based tonics
The alcohol contained there will remove moisture from the skin and cause it to dry. If you use this tonic regularly, it weakens the protective natural barrier of the skin. Therefore, it will be more affected by aggressive environmental factors.
Masks based on clay
They perfectly remove the oily shine of the skin, making it matte, but in winter they are not desirable to use. They are able to dry the skin very much, depriving it of precious moisture in winter. People with dry skin need to be especially careful.
Essential oils and fragrances
It is better to exclude in the winter all cosmetics containing essential oils and fragrances. Overdried skin in winter can react negatively to them. Most often – it’s irritation and even allergic reactions on the skin.
Scrubs
You should not give up these tools at all, but they certainly should not be admired in the winter. By removing the dead layer of cells on the skin, scrubs can break down the skin barrier if used frequently in winter.
It is worth reviewing your cosmetics and properly prepare for the winter so as not to harm the skin.
Nourishing and protective cream
Cosmetologists say that in winter the skin no longer needs a moisturizer, but a nourishing cream. Winter requires a cream with a dense texture and thicker than when warm. So it will better protect the skin from overdrying. This will protect the skin from the negative effects of environmental factors (frost, wind, etc.).
Foam for washing
Foam (mousse, milk) does not contain alcohol and irritants, which not only dry the skin in winter, but can also cause redness and even allergies. Therefore, it is advisable to use these skin cleansers in winter. They will very gently clean the skin from dirt.
Lip cream or balm
In winter, the lips are especially vulnerable. Therefore, they need to be additionally lubricated with a cream or lip balm that will nourish and protect them from the effects of frost and wind. You should always lubricate your lips with these products before going outside. Lipstick can be applied on top of balm or cream.
