How to care for your facial skin in winter

Once the skin is dry, some problems will occur, such as acne and peeling, which are very common. Therefore, many sweet women want to ask how to take care of the facial skin in winter?

In winter, the climate is cold and dry, metabolism and blood circulation are slow, the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands decreases, and the sebum film that maintains skin moisture and weak acidity is not easy to form. The skin easily becomes dull and even becomes rough, sensitive, peeling, and wrinkled. Therefore, skin care in winter focuses on moisturizing and repairing. To maintain the moisture of the skin, in addition to replenishing the deficiency of the skin membrane, the most important thing is to promote the health of epidermal keratinocytes, strengthen the structure of the dermal network tissue, and enhance their water retention function.

1. Wash your face scientifically. Be sure to wash your face after going out in winter. It is best to wash your face with cold boiled water in winter.

If there is no cold boiled water, you can use half a basin of cold water and add 1 teaspoon of boric acid to soften the water and wash your face. During the day, the temperature is lowest in the morning, second lowest in the evening, and highest at noon. Many beauty experts advocate washing your face alternately with cold, hot and warm water: use 20℃~25℃ cold water in the morning, 38℃~42℃ hot water at noon, and 35℃~37℃ warm water at night. This is consistent with the laws of natural change.

(1) Gently apply an appropriate amount of cleansing cream to the area above the eyes, moving your hands outwards when applying, and moving your hands inwards when applying to the skin below the eyes. Dip a cotton ball in a special eye cleansing lotion and place it on the eyelids for a few seconds.
