Disclosure – I am not a doctor and I am not cosmetic specialist. The following content include my own experience trough many years searching for the best products and ingredients, which are suitabe for my skin.

Winter is coming …. knocking on our door. In some countries it has already come! A very beautiful season filled with warmth, faith, hope and a lot of fluffy snow. And I love winter, not only for the holidays ahead, but also for spending time with family in a warm environment.

Skin maintenance is very important in winter. It takes a lot more care to stay beautiful and soft. Today I’m going to share my tricks on beautiful skin in the winter!

Let’s read them!

Skin maintenance

Wash your face with water at a temperature of about 20-22 degrees, moderately warm. Do not wash it with cold or hot, as it dries. My skin is oily but in many places it is dry, so I use micellar water for the oily part of my face and hydrophilic oil for the dry part of my face. You should not over-look after your skin this season, as it is likely to break the outer layer and its exposure to cold and wind can cause skin damage. It is also not a good idea to use scrub or peeling products, instead use light lotions or milk that are not washed with water.

It is very important to use moisturizing creams according to the skin type, because the cold air dries the skin. If you like to wear homemade face masks like me, I definitely put vitamins A, D and E.

Of course, the skin not only needs face creams or masks. It is important to note that healthy eating is the second step to beautiful skin.

Foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids help hydrate the skin. Such foods are – fish, salmon, herring, crabs, shrimps, mussels and other seafood

As I mentioned above, vitamins – Vitamin C can be obtained through citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, grapefruit), also cabbage and peppers.

Beta carotene gives the skin the vitamin A it needs, it is contained in carrots, broccoli, peaches, papaya, mangoes.

What do we need to know before go out?

Daily care

Before going outside, we need to dry our skin very well, as it is likely to crack in places when the water from the skin evaporates. If you notice cracks in the corners of your lips and between your fingers, then you have not dried your skin. The rule is to put on a lip balm and a special cold protective hand cream.

For my face I use a cream (depending on skin type) which I apply about 1 hour before going out. I avoid applying water-based moisturizing creams and containing hyaluronic acid because the cold causes the water to freeze and damage the top layer of the skin.

Night care

In the evening, after cleansing my skin (necessarily with an alcohol-free cleansing tonic), I apply a moisturizer on my skin. Even in winter my skin needs moisturizing and nourishing, so I also apply a mask twice a week, but only in the evening! If you do not wear homemade masks, you can use a cream mask that is not washed with water.

The best cream in winter is oil or grease. It protects the skin from frostbite, drying and cracking. It also creates an invisible protective filter that increases the softness and elasticity of the skin. I use creams that contain essential oils of currant, apricot, almond, avocado, cocoa.

In conclusion – skin care in winter is very important, at least for me. It is important to know exactly what creams and ingredients to use to keep our skin healthy and beautiful, because we can seriously damage it if we do not take it seriously!
