5 winter skin care hacks

There is no time to wait for warmth, your skin needs support right here and now! The icy wind, snow and other frosty pleasures make her feel stressed, which can affect both of you. Together with the Uriage brand, we tell you how to properly care for your skin in the winter, so that everyone is satisfied.

Change cleansing to softer

With the advent of the new season, it is worth changing not only routine habits and an ordinary wardrobe, but also their beauty versions.

Please don’t wash your face! At this time, the skin naturally reduces the production of sebum, which protects the upper layers of the epidermis from dehydration, so aggressive cleansers and hot water can worsen the situation. To help your skin retain its hydrolipidic film, say yes to a cleansing hydrophilic oil.

For example, in the Hyséac, Uriage collection for oily and combination skin, there is a product that gently cleanses without exceeding its powers — Purifying Oil.

This texture, contrary to popular belief, perfectly copes with excessive shine and does not clog pores. It «attracts» fat and eliminates impurities, while not destroying the natural hydrolipidic film. As part of a mix of sunflower oils and black cumin seeds, esters of malic acid and vitamin E, a natural cocktail is responsible for a mild exfoliating and antioxidant effect.

IMPLEMENT INTO YOUR LIFE MORE WATER

If your skin is signaling distress, don’t waste a minute and start hydrating!

In winter, the skin is constantly under the influence of various aggressive factors: contrasting temperatures from -40˚C outdoors to +25˚C indoors, dry air from heating, lack of vitamins. Such a number of aggressive factors weaken the skin: it begins to poorly retain moisture, peel off, turns red, becomes hypersensitive, instantly responding to even the smallest changes in care. All this can increase your level of anxiety and change your face beyond recognition.

SOS-remedy is able to quickly replenish moisture reserves in the skin, instantly moisturize and soothe the skin, and also strengthen its barrier. One liter of thermal water contains 11 g of mineral salts — almost the same amount as in physiological body fluids, such as blood plasma. So you can safely spray it after dermato-aesthetic procedures, epilation, to fix makeup or just in moments when you feel the need for additional moisture. Water will be absorbed in a few seconds, leaving no feeling of a wet face!

Then balance the water balance with the help of the drinking regime — believe me, this will definitely not be superfluous.

If you forget to drink in the hustle of deadlines, set reminders on your smartphone or download a tracker. Then, if you wish, look towards humidifiers for the home: the device can affect not only the condition of the integument, but also the mucous membranes.

DON’T FORGET PRO MOISTURIZERS

Whatever skin nature has given you, it always needs to be moisturized.

Leave gels, jellies and fluids for the summer, and in the cold, give preference to creams and, if you have combination and oily skin, give up matting products in favor of restorative ones.

Uriage’s arsenal of products has collected various lines with intensive moisturizing ingredients for any request! Since 1992, the French brand has been creating effective cosmetics based on unique thermal water from the heart of the French Alps, which has been actively used for 200 years for complex therapy at the Thermal Center Uriage and helps to cope with a wide range of problems.

Is your T-zone constantly shiny and inflamed?

A non-comedogenic, skin-brightening serum or Hyséac’s revitalizing treatment is the way to go. They pacify the activity of the sebaceous glands and do not provoke new imperfections, but at the same time actively moisturize. Thanks to Uriage thermal water, phytosterols and glycerin in the formula.

Owners of dry and normal type, it’s time to include moisturizing serums in the care program.

This category of products enhances the action of the cream and helps prevent dehydration of the skin. For example, Eau Thermale Moisturizing Serum, which contains a hydrothermal complex and a double concentration of polysaccharides, is a good option. The components retain moisture in the deep layers of the epidermis and relieve discomfort.

But don’t forget about prebiotics.

Since such cosmetics can significantly strengthen the skin barrier due to the increase in the number of beneficial bacteria. Result: dull tired skin is transformed before our very eyes! There are also such fighters in the Uriage portfolio: Bariéderm-CICA Daily gel-cream with prebiotic and centella asiatica will become a real emergency aid for fragile skin, and if you want to get an anti-age effect as well, add serum from the same line to the “menu” . Hyaluronic acid and a dipeptide in the composition will not only restore a healthy look to the skin, but will also effectively cope with the signs of aging.

Take care of sensitive skin.

Girls who, for no particular reason, notice the appearance of redness, peeling, irritation and feel itching and tingling, should pay attention to cosmetics for hypersensitive skin. But it is important to remember that it can be both dry and oily. For example, among the products of the Toléderm line, there are soothing creams with a light and enriched texture to help everyone.

USE COSMETICS WITH SPF

Insidious ultraviolet affects you not only in summer — it breaks through the clouds in cloudy weather and also affects the condition of the skin.

It is this radiation that is one of the main causes of pigmentation and aging: it penetrates into the deep layers and contributes to the destruction of natural collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the youthfulness of the dermis. Many, with a decrease in the degree outside the window, relax and forget to defend themselves.

You can slow down the process of the appearance of signs of aging with the help of special cosmetics containing filters.

The Age Protect anti-aging line has such heroes in its ranks: a multifunctional cream for normal to dry skin and an emulsion for combination to oily skin with SPF 30.

By the way, for the weather conditions of our country, such a protection factor in winter will be enough. If you apply funds at least half an hour before going out into the light, on the street they will work as a shield for UVA rays. But this is not all facets of their multitasking: care also prevents the harmful effects of natural and artificial blue light (it is also involved in premature aging), and also corrects wrinkles, improves elasticity and radiance.

LET IT GO PEELINGS

No weather will prevent the appearance of the keratinized layer of cells. He can resist the active nutrition of the skin!

To delicately get rid of it, resort to the help of masks and peels. The main rule is to do no harm, so the use of peels should be resorted to no more than once or twice a week. Also put aside clay-based masks and aggressive scrubs for a while and replace them with gentle gommages, film masks and moisturizing masks. Such actions will help enhance the effect of caring products, since the dermis will absorb them like a “sponge”, even out the microrelief of the skin and allow makeup to lie down as evenly as possible. And this is really important in the season when the complexion cannot boast of a tan, and the tone is not uniform.
