What are the ways to care for your skin in winter?

Winter is a very dry season. The dryness in winter often causes headaches for women who love beauty. The dry environment makes the skin rough and uneven. If a woman loses her smooth and beautiful skin, her appearance will be greatly reduced. We need to wear thick clothes in winter. The friction between clothes and skin will generate a lot of static electricity, which can cause great harm to the skin. So what are some ways to care for your skin in winter? Below I will introduce several effective methods.

Wash your face alternately with hot and cold water in the morning, first apply warm water, then wipe your face with cold water. This method helps reduce the sensitivity of the facial skin to low temperatures. Before going to bed at night, wash your feet with hot water to dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation, and effectively prevent cracked feet and frostbite. In winter, the water temperature for bathing should be controlled at around 38 degrees Celsius, which will not only help reduce skin itching, but also not easily wash away some useful substances on the skin such as sebum. When washing your face, use less soap and use facial cleanser as much as possible; when taking a bath, add a small amount of vinegar to the water to reduce the damage of alkaline substances to the skin.

After washing your face in the morning, apply some oil-rich skin care cosmetics and massage for a few minutes to restore skin elasticity that has been weakened by the stimulation of cold air. Making a fruit mask is a good way to moisturize your skin in winter. You can choose apples, pears, and bananas which are rich in vitamin C as mask materials. Do it 1-2 times a week, each time for about 20 minutes. In winter, people like to keep indoors heated, which makes the air humidity even lower, which is not good for skin health. Therefore, the indoor humidity should be increased by sprinkling water, wetting towels, using humidifiers, etc. People like to wear sweaters in winter, but wool easily absorbs skin oil, so some skin care cream should also be applied on the neck.

Drinking plenty of water in winter is the first prerequisite for keeping the skin smooth and soft. The appropriate amount of water to drink is about 2 liters per day. In your daily diet, you should eat more vegetables, fresh milk, eggs, vegetable oils and other foods. These foods contain many vitamins that are beneficial to skin health. In addition, if you want to have good skin, you must also take in some minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, etc. These minerals can eliminate fatigue, help digestion, accelerate enzyme activity, and promote blood circulation, which is beneficial to beauty and hairdressing. The human body must consume 300-400 mg of magnesium every day, and magnesium is mainly found in grain foods. Therefore, excessive pursuit of "eating more vegetables and less rice" is not good for skin health.

The above are several methods for caring for your skin in winter. The methods are simple and effective. In fact, it is not difficult to care for your skin in winter. The key is to have a method that suits you. In your life, you should pay more attention to avoiding dry skin as much as possible. In addition, you should also eat a reasonable diet and maintain a healthy metabolism, so that you can have smooth and beautiful skin in winter.
