Some Winter Skin Care Tips

Winter Care
For winter, one can use for healthy skin the cleansing milk which contains soothing lavender, aloe butter, chamolie flower and jojoba; capillary strengthening blend with neroli and carrot seed; intensive repair balm to increase circulation, reduce redness, promote elasticity, nourish skin and provide a thick moisture barrier; and eirming eye gel with elder, chamomile, rose hip seed, borage, green myrtle and nettle to moisturize and increase elasticity and microcirculation for softness.

For a beautiful and healthy skin during winter you need:
Protective hydrolipid barrier
Protect and balance your skin, and moisturize
Protect skin against UV-light
You can follow the followings some of the tips to get beautiful skin in winter:
Use a mild facial cleanser.
Switch to a richer facial moisturiser. Drier times call for more intense moisturisers.
Avoid exfoliating. The dry air in many homes actually exfoliates skin, and you need to moisturise.
Apply moisturiser to skin after showering.

Pare down your shower schedule. Long, hot showers can rob the skin of much-needed moisture. To avoid this, shower as infrequently as possible. If you feel comfort, take shower every day. Also, keep showers short and opt for warm water over hot.
Continue to apply sunscreen, or a moisturiser with sunscreen, daily.
Run a humidifier in the bedroom. Letting a humidifier run while you sleep will help by putting moisture back into the air.

Dry and cracking hands and feet are common in this period. To treat hands, reduce the frequency of hand washing (which saps moisture from skin) and apply a Hand Cream. For feet, apply an antibiotic ointment, while feet are still damp after shower.
Skin really takes a beating from wind and cold and needs extra protection.
For oily skin, not much change in regimen is necessary, unless you're being exposed to harsh outdoor elements. Stay with a light moisturiser, preferably one with a beta hydroxy acid whose gentle exfoliating properties lift away dull skin for a more radiant complexion. However, do not exfoliate with scrubs or masks as frequently as in warmer months.
As the area around the eyes also can become dryer, make sure they are receiving optimal moisturisation.
Factor in individual skin type and geographic location when adapting your skincare regimen for winter. If your skin is dry, you'll be more prone to suffering the effects of harsh weather.
