Winter Skin Regimen: What You Need to Do to Keep Your Skin in Good Shape
Because vitamin C aids in the formation of collagen, vitamin C serum is a substance that you should use all year. Stopping only because it's winter may raise the risk of collagen loss and the appearance of creases and lines.
Aloe vera gel and vitamin C serum can be used in two ways:... Because both products include vitamin C, this can be beneficial for people with extremely sensitive skin (and combining them could lead to irritation). First, apply the water-based aloe vera gel, then the oil-based vitamin C serum.
Section 1: Start with the basics
Vitamin C serums and lotions should be applied after cleansing and toning the skin. Use a cotton pad dipped in water to gently swab the product on the skin. For example, this could be a small amount of cream or serum applied to the palm of the hand. Afterward, massage the product on the face, concentrating on the areas with wrinkles, redness, or dark spots. Allow the serum to sink in and be absorbed by the skin.
Section 2: Try out different serums and lotions
Serums and lotions, both of which are water-based, should be applied before the sun's exposure begins, and then reapplied after the sun has set, and before the morning sunlight begins.
Skin care routine
Use sunscreen on the highest SPF sunscreen to prevent further damage and prevent early aging of the skin. Also, cover your face with a scarf when out in the sun.
During the day, apply a moisturizer with SPF 30 to your skin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the container. Never forget to apply a good sunscreen after using your moisturizer.
Always remember to protect your skin from pollution: wear a good face mask and sunglasses that block out the UV rays.
Always drink water before going to bed: it helps keep your skin healthy.
Beauty Tips:
If you want to look beautiful and young, it's recommended that you avoid the use of the following products during the winter: heavy foundation, shiny lipsticks, etc.
The products you need
Vitamin C serum has several benefits when it comes to skin: It gives the skin a firm, healthy tone that avoids the discoloration of a normal sunburn. It's also an excellent way to regain lost collagen that would otherwise be lost because of the sun exposure or increased exposure to environmental pollutants.
This is particularly important if you suffer from any skin diseases, such as psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis. When combined with a basic moisturizer, it's a wonderful remedy to eliminate dryness and keep your skin smooth, supple, and soft.
Vitamin C serum: the best way to achieve a healthy, firm complexion.
Providing the greatest benefits are concentrations of 500 milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL).
Exfoliation
For best results, use a very gentle exfoliating gel such as L'Oreal's Advanced Youth Activator or Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body Scrub. Work a few drops onto your fingers and rub over your entire body. Wash it off when you get out of the bath, then pat dry with a towel.
Massage in SPF
According to Laura Mercier, this can help prevent premature aging. Apply the serum and then a generous layer of BB cream. Hold the BB cream where the serum meets your skin and buff gently.
Don't forget: leave your skin moisturized during the day
This is what many people forget to do. Moisturize your skin the minute you get out of the bath and then use your serum.
What is it?
Drying out your skin may not be the best thing to do in winter, especially if you're staying warm. This can cause dry and cracked skin to develop.
If you have combination skin, you may prefer a serum that contains chamomile to soothe and moisturize your skin. Or a serum that contains wheat germ oil to moisturize.
If you're prone to dry patches (or even worse—dry, scaly skin), apply a moisturizer before putting on a serum.
Use a moisturizer—either cream or gel—first, and apply a serum over the top. If you use a moisturizer first, it can prevent the serum from drying out your skin.
What are the benefits?
In addition to helping your skin stay moisturized, chamomile, wheat germ oil and vitamin C help you look younger.
Why is it important?
Aloe vera gel has a number of different moisturizing qualities, including hydrating and soothing the skin. In addition, it contains properties that help to seal in moisture.
Vitamin C serum is derived from the acid production of fruits. The active ingredient in this serum is a derivative of vitamin C. This serum contains several molecules that help to protect the skin from outside irritants, like UV rays and environmental pollutants. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant, meaning it is able to neutralize damaging free radicals and prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This is an essential part of the skin's immune system. When more reactive species form, more ROS are produced, the skin ages prematurely.
Moisturize!
Okay, okay. Yes, technically you don't need to moisturize in winter. But in most cases, you need to moisturize anyway, so why not? Moisturizers help the skin retain moisture and protect the skin from environmental damage.
It also prevents the skin from drying out due to hot indoor temperatures. The best one to use is hydrating body lotion with high vitamin E content and omega 3 fatty acids. It will protect your skin from dryness caused by extreme temperatures and heat.
Sunscreen
Just because the sun goes down in winter doesn't mean you can't be sun-smart. Remember, sunscreens are made to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays is recommended.
Conclusion
Last but not least, remember the fact that everyone has a different combination of skin care components that may cause irritation for some and not for others. This is why it is important to use the appropriate products at the right times and in the right amounts.
