In the summer, many of us are limited to a minimum caring means and even forget to use them, but the Russian cold is unlikely to forgive such an attitude to the skin. But it's time to introduce active ingredients into your care, increase concentrations, try new schemes - in general, in every way please the face, body and hair. We remind you of seven proven combinations of products that can be added to the beauty routine right now.
Regenerating cream + gentle cleansing
With the onset of cold weather in many of us, the skin begins to suffer from dehydration and dryness, active care products should be used with care, and cleansing should be as gentle as possible. Autumn and winter is a time of struggle for the integrity of the lipid barrier, so in case of weathering, irritation and other obvious signs of weakening of the protective functions of the skin, keep any cica-cream in your cosmetic bag - these are in pharmacy brands. In winter, it is useful not only for healing wounds and peeling: for prevention, it can be applied at night or during the day under makeup.
Retinol + moisturizer
Modern remedies with retinoids for home care often do not require any magic rituals: the magic component is often added to moisturizers, masks and gels for washing. If you are aiming for a visible result, it is better to use whey concentrates with a high content of active ingredient. In this case, take care to moisturize your skin every day - choose creams and gels with a lot of moisturizing ingredients and do not hesitate to use them several times a day: dry skin is a standard side effect of products with retinol, especially well-marked for beginners.
SOS mask + patches
All kinds of care "from the refrigerator" and five-minute masks work most pleasantly in the summer, but in the fall they will come in handy - like other products that soften the skin in a short time and prepare it for makeup or subsequent care. For the skin around the eyes, your usual moisturizer can be used every day, but if you want special care, keep comfortable hydrogel patches on hand. Keep moisturizing, regenerating and nourishing masks on your face for a longer time, you can also use your favorite night mask as an emergency remedy: apply the remedy in a tangible layer and leave on the face for several hours.
Acid + Night Moisturizing Mask
Means with acids that help the renewal process are good all year round - especially as home care products are available in different formats: you can use masks, night concentrates and peels. Alas, in our conditions even the most innocuous products with acids will require good additional care: dry and dehydrated skin can react with irritation, rather than the desired smoothness and radiance. To minimize the effects of sleep near a hot battery, without giving up on active care, sleep with a moisturizing mask several times a week.
Vitamin C + Sanskrin
Luminosity, even complexion, photo-aging protection - a small list of what vitamin C is capable of. You can find it in liquid concentrates and powders, in tonic and masks - of course, to achieve the best result, you need to use products with a high content of component. We remind you that it greatly enhances the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation, which means it is better not to send Sanskrin on vacation until next summer. In the winter, choose the classic dense creams or moisturizers with sun protection function: beach sprays, sticks and powders are easier and easier to use, but will not provide adequate protection and comfort in the winter.
Shower oil + body peeling
The body also needs mild care, and possibly a change in habits: hot water, aggressive cleansing components, and insufficient moisture can provoke dryness and irritation. It is better to replace the shower gel with an oil or cream with moisturizing ingredients, and it is also useful to refuse scrubs with sharp particles - they often turn out to be rough, and the skin of the body is also sensitive. Instead, you can use a shower gel or peeling for the body with fruit acids a couple of times a week, and an inexpensive or facial remedy that turned out to be too pushy.
Scrub for the scalp + sulfate-free shampoo
Dandruff, excessive oily or dry skin and brittle hair are not uncommon satellites of the cap season: the scalp is constantly heated and cooled, and it may need special gentle care. If you notice discomfort, try using sulfate-free shampoos that cleanse gently, but do not overdry your scalp. In order to completely wash away the remains of styling products and clean the scalp well, use a scrub or peeling several times a month - this will be enough to maintain the renewal process.
