The Subtleties of Seasonal Skin Care

The way the skin looks is almost the first, which indicates the age and well-being of a person. And it is almost continuously under external influence, which does not add to it either health or beauty. Even at each time of the year there will be a “weapon arsenal” to damage the skin. Therefore, care for him, depending on the season has its own characteristics.

In winter, the skin is experiencing a sharp change in temperature. There is no pleasure for any face or hands that are primarily affected by such drops. And if red spots appear on the body or lines of the thinnest vessels appear (couperose), then during such a period these troubles become even more acute. Due to temperature effects, some people get acne.

The water that evaporates from the cells, in the cold, takes the form of crystals. Due to this, cells are rapidly destroyed, which also leads to diseases of the dermis.

By the spring, in addition to the problems accumulated over the winter, most people have signs of beriberi in the body, which are again indicated by lifeless, dull and flaky skin. If the dermis is very sensitive, then it becomes constricted, sometimes it becomes red.

In the summer, despite all the joys of warmth and the beneficial effects of the sun, the reverse side of such factors is also felt. Ultraviolet and high temperature, dry wind and dust can dry out the skin and provoke early aging.

In the autumn, the influence of ultraviolet radiation is still great, and plus a cold wind and a sharp change in temperature. With the beginning of the heating season in the houses the air becomes dry. From mid-October, many are beginning to re-experience a lack of vitamins, including vitamin D, on which the appearance of the dermis depends very significantly.

Features of skin care in a particular season depends largely on its type.

In cosmetology, there are five types of skin.

• Oily. It can be determined by the characteristic luster, dilated pores and frequent rash of acne and blackheads. Due to the fatty film, wrinkles on such skin appear later than among owners of other types of skin. The oily dermis has good elasticity and a normal moisture content.
• Dry It is thin, not sufficiently elastic, easily inflamed and quickly ages. Acne on the skin of this type rarely appears, but external factors, including weather, can cause great harm to it.

• Normal It is characterized by sufficient elasticity, moderate sensitivity. On it pores are imperceptible, at it equal, healthy color. And only over the years, owners of this type show signs of dryness of the dermis - wrinkles and cracks. Happy owners of such skin is a small number of women.
• Combined. She is fat on the forehead, chin and nose. But on the cheeks and cheeks - dry. Often prone to allergies, it can be all sorts of irritations, including acne. It occurs more often than other types.

• Sensitive (problem). It quickly becomes dry and inflamed.It is difficult for her to choose suitable cosmetics, since such skin reacts to different components in a most unexpected way. It is characterized by poor elasticity and weakly resists external influence.

In the autumn-winter period, when problems with dryness and peeling begin, care should be taken to take care of the skin.

Wash, better not applying strongly acting on the dermis means. This will help her to allocate the right amount of sebum and will save from rashes and blackheads, as well as from various kinds of inflammatory processes in cold weather.

After water procedures in the conditions of winter, you should invariably apply nutrients to protect the upper layers of the skin. Special attention should be given to the area around the eyes. The skin here is especially thin and cannot fully withstand the effects of cold air. Therefore, it is important to support her with a nourishing cream.

Also, scarves and hats, constantly in contact with the surface of the body, require regular washing, because microorganisms that multiply in knitted things, adversely affect the skin when in contact with it. If acne appears on the head, it is better to wash the cap at least once a week.

In the spring, sun activity is also high, so creams with an appropriate filter will be very useful. It is better to use them half an hour before leaving the house.
