Tips for skin cleaning in winter
In the middle of winter, the girls are on the verge of enemies and have started "skin care mobilization". But the first step of skin care-cleaning is often overlooked, at least not as important as summer. In fact, it is windy and dusty in the north in winter, and the air is dirty. Everyone is using oily skin cream one after another. The air in the south is cold and humid, and it is difficult for the skin to breathe freely. So pay more attention to the cleanliness of the skin in winter.
Correct skin cleaning methods can gently and effectively clean pores, help the skin absorb the essence of skin care products, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Tips for cleaning and nursing in winter:
In winter, comprehensive care can be carried out while cleaning the face, so that the skin metabolism slowed down by cold can be promoted and the appearance of fine lines on the surface can be reduced.
Wash your face before bathing in winter. Because the water temperature is often high when bathing in winter, cleansing with water at this temperature will lead to facial skin aging; At the same time, the hot steam in the bathroom makes the pores open. If it is not cleaned in advance, the dust and dirt on the surface of facial skin will enter the pores, making it more difficult to clean.
The air in the north is dry in winter, and the frequency of washing your face should be minimized in winter, usually once in the morning and once in the evening. Don't use overheated water when washing your face, because too hot water will excessively decompose the skin's oil and make the skin dry and prone to wrinkles; Too cold water is difficult to clean dirt and excess oil in pores, so warm water cleansing is the right choice. After cleaning, beat cold water on cotton cloth to shrink pores. Pay special attention to moisturizing after cleansing to provide gentle and moist care for the skin.
The weather in the south is cold and humid, with tight pores and poor blood circulation, so it is difficult to present a healthy complexion. Therefore, it is of great benefit to have a moderate facial massage after washing your face every time. Massage the face for a few minutes from top to bottom and from inside to outside can accelerate blood circulation, warm the skin, expand pores, expel old epidermal cells and restore rosy and healthy facial skin. This method can also improve the skin's resistance to cold. Pay attention to hand cleaning and gentle massage.
Tips for bathing in winter:
If you don't want to see your skin gaunt and dry next spring, take active action this winter and "beautify" yourself with a bath!
Hot water alternating bath: an easy way to enjoy the sauna at home. Rinse with hot water with a water temperature of about 40oC for 2 ~ 3 minutes, and then rinse with cold water with a water temperature of about 17oC for 2 ~ 3 minutes. If you feel that the temperature difference is too big and you are not used to it, you can start to adjust the cold water temperature a little higher. Rinse your body with hot water and cold water alternately for five times, and then rinse with hot water at last, and you will feel very comfortable.
There is no doubt that getting up in the morning in winter feels a little "reluctant" and generally feels a little stiff. Taking a morning bath to clear your head and stimulate your muscles has no intention of refreshing you and starting a happy day. Shower is 20 ~ 30cm away from the face, which not only helps to keep a clear head, but also makes it easier to put on makeup. Night bath can eliminate the fatigue of nerves and muscles. In order to avoid excessive irritation to the skin, it is best to keep the water temperature between 38 and 40 degrees. Proper use of puffs can promote blood circulation and remove dead skin.
Skin care in winter is already under the temptation.
When the cold wind blows in winter and the weather is dry, dry skin will lose moisture more easily unconsciously. During skin care, avoid the following skin care procedures:
(1) Use cleansing products with strong oil removal ability: especially for dry skin, use mild cleanser or oily soap.
(2) Wash your face with hot water: hot water has strong oil removal ability. Wash your face with hot water to remove the grease from your skin. Moisture is easily lost and your skin will be dry and itchy.
(3) The indoor temperature is too high: when the indoor temperature is too high, the indoor relative humidity will drop, and the moisture of the skin will be easily lost.
(4) Dry your body immediately after taking a shower: it is not advisable to dry your face and body with a towel after taking a shower, and take a shower when it is cold. Without warm water, everyone will quickly dry their bodies and put on clothes. But to prevent dry and itchy skin, you should apply moisturizing oil and lotion to moisturize when your body is half dry.
Three reminders of winter skin care!
The winter climate in China is characterized by low temperature, low humidity and high pressure, often accompanied by windy weather. These meteorological conditions are not conducive to skin care. Low temperature is easy to make skin blood vessels contract, which will lead to skin malnutrition for a long time. In addition, dry air can make the skin rough, peeling and even chapped, and middle-aged and elderly people are prone to itching.
Winter skin care can start from the following three aspects.
Maintain skin with water.
Wash your face alternately with hot and cold water in the morning, first wet it with warm water, and then wipe your face with cold water. This method helps to reduce the sensitivity of facial skin to low temperature. Washing feet with hot water before going to bed at night, dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation can effectively prevent foot crack and chilblain; The water temperature of bathing in winter should be controlled at about 38℃, which is not only beneficial to relieve skin itching, but also difficult to wash off some useful substances such as sebum on the skin. Use less soap when washing your face and try to use facial cleanser; When taking a bath, you can add a small amount of vinegar to the water to reduce the harm of alkaline substances to the skin.
Make good use of skin care means
After washing your face in the morning, apply some oily skin care cosmetics and massage for a few minutes to restore the skin elasticity weakened by cold air stimulation. Making facial mask in winter is a good way to moisturize the skin. Do it 1-2 times a week, and keep it for about 10 minutes each time. People like indoor heating in winter, which reduces the air humidity, which is not conducive to skin health care. Therefore, we should improve the indoor humidity by sprinkling water, drying towels and using humidifiers. People like to wear sweaters in winter, but wool absorbs skin oil easily, so you should also apply some skin cream to your neck.
Diet and skin care
Drinking plenty of water in winter is the first prerequisite to keep skin smooth and soft, and the daily drinking amount is about 2 liters. In the daily diet, you should eat more vegetables, fresh milk, eggs, vegetable oil and other foods, which contain a variety of vitamins beneficial to skin health. In addition, if you want to have good skin, you must also take some minerals, such as magnesium and potassium, which can eliminate fatigue, help digestion, accelerate the activity of enzymes and promote blood circulation, thus contributing to beauty and hairdressing. The human body must consume 300-400 mg of magnesium every day, and magnesium mainly exists in food, so excessive pursuit of "eating more vegetables and eating less" is not conducive to the health of the skin.
Winter care of all kinds of skin
Give you a hint, so that your beauty will never be discounted in winter.
(1) For oily skin with excessive oil secretion and large pores, the skin will dry and peel in winter. At this time, the first thing to do is to replenish enough moisture to the skin. You might as well use deoiling toner, which can not only shrink pores, but also replenish water to the skin, inhibit oil secretion and diminish inflammation. After moisturizing, it is supplemented with oil-in-water nourishing emulsion to supplement nutrition and moisturize skin.
(2) After skin cleaning, neutral skin should be refreshed with oil-free moisturizing liquid, and then combined with nourishing firming milk containing olive oil to form an oxygen-permeable protective film on the skin surface, which can prevent water evaporation, moisturize the skin and resist pollution. Although neutral skin is ideal skin, it is necessary to strengthen nursing, and sunscreen products before going out are essential.
(3) Dry skin should be carefully cared for. Moisturizer should be added to dry skin in winter, because the PH value of dry skin is easy to be destroyed. Moisturizer can repair the pH value of skin and make the skin balanced. At the same time, it is combined with water-in-oil firming cream to replenish nutrition to the skin and make it moist and not dry. Sunscreen cannot be omitted. In addition, for people with dry skin, due to facial muscle movements such as frowning and talking, people with dry skin are prone to false wrinkles when their skin is dry in autumn, so be sure to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables and eat less spicy food.
