Winter is a special test for our skin

What active ingredients to look for in "winter" products?
In winter, sufficiently oily cosmetics (containing compounds from the group of emollients) and a richer consistency are suitable, which will prevent the loss of moisture by the epidermis and restore the natural lipid layer, which is the main protective barrier of the skin. The most important function of "winter cosmetics" is the protection of the skin and its proper hydration and lubrication. These products should be rich in lipids (waxes and vegetable oils, ceramides, shea butter), soothing and emollients (such as panthenol, allantoin) and moisturizing agents (such as hyaluronic acid, algae extracts, glycerin). Remember that skin hydration – it is not only the binding of water in the epidermis, but also the prevention of its induced exit (reduction of evaporation). In winter days, products in the form of oils of light consistency based on vitamin complexes are also suitable. Vitamins A and E have strong protective, regenerating and soothing properties.

People with vascular skin should pay attention to the presence of additional ingredients that improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and redness, strengthen and seal blood vessels, such as diosmin, hesperidin, vitamin derivatives. K, wit. C, rosmarinic acid.

In your daily face care, do not forget about protection from UV rays, before leaving the house, use photoprotective creams with SPF -20-30, and on sunny days and in the mountains, filter creams with a very high degree of protection SPF 50+.

For many people with visible facial redness, it is impossible to leave the house without applying makeup. A properly selected corrective base will not only close visible vessels, but also enhance skin protection from cold and UV rays. It is important that fluids used by people with sensitive or vascular skin do not contain potentially irritating substances, i.e. aromatic compositions and preservatives.
