Protecting your face from the cold: masks in the winter season. Homemade face masks in winter Anti-frost face mask

Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations with fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to be given to infants? How can you lower the temperature in older children? What medications are the safest?

With the onset of cold weather, the skin undergoes not the most pleasant metamorphoses: all existing problems worsen, often women with normal facial skin find that it has become combination and problematic, and those with dry skin look noticeably older than their years in cold weather. All this happens quite naturally, because in winter our face (almost the only area of skin that is always open) is affected by:

low temperatures and strong winds;
temperature changes due to constant movements from heat to cold;
artificial heating, which dries the air and, accordingly, the skin;
lack of sunlight or its complete absence, because we spend almost the entire already short daylight hours at work.

If you let the situation take its course and don’t start taking care of yourself, then soon your facial skin will look deplorable.

How to care

In order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is enough to know a few simple rules for caring for your face in winter, as well as remember simple recipes for homemade masks and apply them depending on your skin type and its problems.

No matter how much our skin suffers in winter, it is worth remembering that scientists have long proven that residents of areas where all four seasons are pronounced have a much better overall skin condition than those living in areas where there is eternal heat and scorching sun. And among residents of northern latitudes, where there is practically no summer as such, aging is completely slow and the general condition of the skin cannot be compared with southerners, not in favor of the latter.

So, what you need to know about your skin, which is going through a difficult period during the winter months:

in winter, the skin needs additional nutrition from masks and creams due to the lack of sun and vitamin D, which it saturates our face in the summer, as well as due to poor nutrition in terms of vitamins and microelements found in fresh fruits, berries and vegetables;
the skin needs moisturizing with cosmetics no less than nutrition, because frost literally dries it out, taking away all the available moisture;
for peeling, which is extremely necessary for the skin in winter, it is worth using gentle products so as not to cause additional harm to already weakened facial skin;
all cosmetic skin care procedures should be done no less than one hour, or even two to three hours before leaving home, since the skin must completely absorb and be saturated with the beneficial substances and elements that we apply to it;
In winter, it is worth minimizing the amount of decorative cosmetics, especially powder and lipstick, which also dry out the skin very much and do not allow it to breathe.

In addition to homemade masks, which will be discussed below, for comprehensive care and solving skin problems in winter, it makes sense to take your diet more seriously (include more fresh vegetables and fruits in season in your diet), as well as the amount of fluid consumed (consume as much as possible more clean water), because these are not the last factors affecting the condition of our entire body, and even more so on the face.

The principle of nutrition and hydration

There is a misconception that in winter the skin of the face really needs nutrition, and moisturizing can supposedly be left for the summer. This is fundamentally wrong, because in the winter months, nutrition and hydration are equally necessary for skin of almost any type, since absolutely all women suffer from a lack of vitamins and dryness due to frost. In addition, when it comes to natural homemade face masks, it is almost impossible to separate nutrition from hydration: any product is based on a combination of ingredients in order to maximize the preservation and make the skin more beautiful and healthy in winter.

For those whose skin is extremely dry, excessively flaky and looks flabby, such masks in winter should be done every day or every other day; for those with normal or combination skin, once or twice a week is enough.

The peculiarity of all skin masks that are made in winter is that they must be both effective and gentle, because, on the one hand, the skin in winter requires a heavy dose of vitamins, nutrients and hydration, and on the other hand, it is so weakened that care should be gentle. Thus, simply crushing berries or grating a cucumber and applying the paste to your face in winter is not enough; you must add components that will soften the effects of active substances, as well as include additional procedures and manipulations to achieve maximum effect, to “reach out” to the weakened facial skin.

By the way, after the famous scene in the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears,” when Antonina’s fiancé got scared when he saw Irina Muravyova’s heroine Lyudochka with a blood-red face, the strawberry mask was extremely popular among Soviet women for many years.

The principle of nourishing and moisturizing the skin is simple - you need to use natural products rich in vitamins, grind them and apply to the skin. In winter, you must add cosmetic oils, sour cream or yolk to this paste, and it is best to steam your face first so that the pores are as clean as possible and open for nutrition.

Nourishing and moisturizing masks

Recipes for winter nourishing and moisturizing masks, each of which should be applied to the face for about a quarter of an hour, and then washed off with a decoction of herbs or water:

Grind a ripe banana with a fork or in a blender, add a spoonful of cosmetic oil and half a tablespoon of lemon juice.
Grate the carrots with a fine grater, add the yolk and a tablespoon of olive oil, if necessary, add flour to obtain the consistency of sour cream.
Finely chop the cabbage leaves and pour boiling water over them for a few minutes. Then squeeze out the water and add olive oil to the resulting pulp.
Remove the skin from the persimmon and chop the pulp with a fork, add a spoonful of rich sour cream or olive oil.

You can also use fantasy mixtures based on the masks given above, for example:

Mix a fruit and vegetable mixture of banana, apple or carrot and lemon or grapefruit juice with olive oil or sour cream and apply to the skin.
Add grated carrots or chopped banana, or grated potatoes, or finely chopped cucumber and so on to a tablespoon of sour cream.

A homemade nourishing and at the same time moisturizing mask, no matter what combination of ingredients you choose, cannot harm your facial skin, and the ratio and the best component for your skin should be chosen by experimenting.

Winter masks for problem skin

If the skin does not just dry out from the frost, but more serious problems are discovered or intensified, such as pimples and rashes, then the care should be a little different.

For oily, acne-prone skin with enlarged pores, masks are suitable, based on a tightening component that removes oily shine and narrows pores. Egg whites, yeast and cosmetic clay do an excellent job of this task, so using masks based on them for problem skin in winter can significantly improve the condition of your face.

Beat the white of one egg with a whisk and add two or three tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and mix. Apply to the skin with a cotton pad until the face is covered with an even, thin, tightening film. The procedure should be done 3 times, that is, apply 3 layers of the mask, each time waiting for the previous one to dry. After 20 minutes have passed after the last third layer has dried, you need to wash off the mask with water.
Dilute the package of non-dry yeast with milk to obtain a thick mixture similar in consistency to sour cream, and apply to the skin with a cotton pad. After drying, rinse with warm water or an anti-inflammatory infusion of pharmaceutical herbs.
Cosmetic clay should be diluted to the consistency of sour cream with chamomile decoction or infusion of other herbs, as well as, for example, tea brewing or simply mineral water. After applying to the skin and drying completely, wash off the clay with warm water.

Historians claim that one of Cleopatra’s beauty secrets was the use of clay in masks for the body and face. Moreover, the famous Egyptian queen and role model for women for all times did not invent anything special, but simply applied blue clay soaked in water to her face and body, left it until completely dry, and then washed it off. By the way, the emergence of cosmetology as such is also associated with the name of Cleopatra, because it was this woman who elevated self-care to a cult, and thanks to her it became a real art.

For problem skin, it is optimal to alternate nourishing masks with those that tighten pores and eliminate oily shine, since the skin needs both measures, but do not forget that in winter care should be gentle.

Recipes for Aging Skin

Aging skin in winter needs intensive nutrition and tightening more than ever, which is why masks for aging facial skin in winter usually combine a large amount of oil and fat and a tightening component, for example, egg white.

The best option for aging skin is to make a nourishing and tightening mask one by one:

First, beat the egg white with lemon juice in a one to one ratio and apply the mixture to your face until completely dry and leave for about a quarter of an hour, then rinse.
Next, immediately make another one from the yolk and olive oil in a one to one ratio and a few drops of lemon juice. This mask also needs to be kept for 20 minutes and then washed off with warm water.

In addition, masks based on oatmeal and honey are excellent for aging skin - they nourish, tone and easily exfoliate the skin:

Pour two tablespoons of oatmeal (large or medium-sized flakes) with hot milk to form a thick paste. Next, add a spoonful of honey and, without allowing it to cool completely, apply it to your face for a quarter of an hour, and then rinse with warm water.
Mix oatmeal with yogurt, olive oil and liquid honey - one tablespoon each - and apply to facial skin for 15-20 minutes.

It is important to know that glycerin in masks or any other skin care products is contraindicated for aging skin. The fact is that glycerin has a double effect: if the air is humid enough, then it takes moisture from it and forms a moist film on the skin, creating a pleasant effect of freshness and relieving dryness, but if the air is quite dry, then glycerin will take water from deeper layers skin. In other words, in winter, masks using glycerin are strictly contraindicated for women with aging facial skin and, of course, are not recommended for all other girls so that they can prolong their beauty as long as possible.

Homemade masks are one of the few products in cosmetology that are a leader compared to industrially produced masks. Both professionals and ordinary women are confident that only natural ingredients will provide the necessary nutrition and hydration, and will also help cope with problems, especially during such a difficult period for facial skin as winter. By paying due attention to nutrition and the amount of fluid consumed, as well as using nourishing masks 1-2 times a week and adding masks against dryness or for aging skin if necessary, you can look great, regardless of the time of year.

Features of facial skin care in winter

In this regard, in cold winter times, the facial skin care program should be different.

We include a rejuvenating and toning massage. Don’t forget, dear women, about the benefits of cosmetic facial massage. This is especially true for women in winter, whose skin has lost its attractive appearance - fatigue, lethargy, and fine wrinkles have appeared. 15-20 sessions work wonders in this case! Facial massage normalizes the function of the sebaceous glands, smoothes fine wrinkles, relieves swelling, especially in women suffering from hypertension, and is also indicated for women of Balzac age during menopause.

8. Taking care of your lips. And just a few words about the lips, which also suffer greatly from the cold wind and frosty air. Before going outside, be sure to apply lipstick, which will not only protect you from the weather. It will be good if it contains natural oils - jojoba or Shea tree, vitamins A, E. Or use in your arsenal a lip balm or hygienic lipstick containing oils: tea tree, castor, linseed or sea buckthorn, coconut oils and vitamins . You can also apply goose fat to your lips before going out. The main thing is not to lick or bite your lips on the street to avoid chapping and peeling. If, nevertheless, your lips begin to peel or, even worse, become cracked, then in this case, you can use natural lip balm as an emergency aid for your lips. Namely: lubricate your lips with it at home, it is a very pleasant mask that softens your lips well, which you can then simply lick off with your tongue, easily and with benefit for the body.

Video - how to care for your skin in winter

We invite you to look at some tips on skin care in winter, what masks to make during this period. Winter has always been a serious test for the body, but our skin takes the hardest hit. The face is considered the most vulnerable and delicate part, and therefore in winter it is necessary to take very careful care of the skin of the face, otherwise peeling, redness, etc. may appear.

What happens to our skin in winter?

When it's cold, the air becomes dry, which takes away moisture from our skin, causing it to dehydrate. At very low temperatures, the epidermis renews itself very slowly, so it becomes dry.
Because of the cold, the skin becomes rough and loses its elasticity.
Due to extreme cold, the production of secretions by the sebaceous glands is reduced. Because of this, the protective film disappears, and the skin becomes less sensitive and elastic.

Due to weather conditions, the skin becomes vulnerable and may become blotchy, which may cause the skin type to change to dry. In winter, the skin ages much faster, begins to lose tone, and wrinkles begin to appear.

How to deal with this?

The skin needs to be prepared in advance for winter weather. If the skin is in good condition, then it will better withstand winter weather. The ideal option for protection from winter weather is to moisturize it. It will become smoother, softer, the sebaceous glands will begin to work better, it will be enriched with the necessary set of vitamins, which will give it elasticity and tone.

If your skin is dehydrated, then it needs some care. To do this, you need to use a moisturizing serum. If you notice that the sebaceous glands are not working as actively as before, then it is advisable to change the night cream to a better and more nutritious one.

If your skin begins to show the first signs of aging, then it is necessary to use anti-aging creams. But they can only be used after thirty years.

It is advisable to apply protective cream to your face thirty minutes before going outside; you can buy winter cream, it will be more effective. If you don’t like protective cream, then you can use foundation; just like protective cream, it will protect your skin from the harmful effects of winter weather and allow your skin to breathe.

You should use milk or toner to wash your face, but do not use tap water. You can make ice from infusions, such as St. John's wort, mint, string, sage, tea or chamomile. Don't forget about vitamins; they can be taken in the form of tablets, food, and lotions with milk. This will all protect your skin from winter weather and prevent it from aging.

When the skin peels in winter, it is necessary to take steam baths lasting three minutes. Afterwards, dry your face with a towel and spread a mixture of protein and honey. Then you need to tap your fingertips on your face until the mask stops sticking to them. You should not move the skin, it should be motionless. After this, you need to wash your face with cold water and apply a suitable cream to your face. This mask will allow you to remove dead flakes from your skin and remove signs of fatigue on your face.

Linen masks are very effective in winter weather. To do this, take two large spoons of flaxseed, then add two glasses of water. Cook this mixture until it becomes mushy. Afterwards you should strain and let it stand for about twenty minutes. Apply to face, lie down and rinse with warm water. Afterwards, lubricate your face with cream. This mask will allow you to relieve irritation and remove peeling.

Before going outside in the winter, you should cover your face with your hands for a few seconds. This must be done so that the skin can get used to the change in temperature. In severe frost, you should not cover your face with a scarf, as even the softest scarf can damage your facial skin. This is because a scarf can trap moisture that you exhale, which can subsequently lead to frostbite. And after frost, when you go indoors, you shouldn’t immediately sit down closer to the warmth. This should not be done because heat can dry out skin already dehydrated in the cold, which will subsequently cause peeling, redness and irritation.

According to the results of recent American research in the field of cosmetology, our skin ages much faster in winter than in summer.

This is because the epidermis is much more susceptible to low temperatures than to high ones.

It turns out that frost causes more damage to the skin than ultraviolet radiation. Frost is a real stress for our skin and this is not an exaggeration. How to protect your face from frost and provide proper skin care?

Why should you protect your skin from frost?

The fact is that when in the cold, the skin produces signaling molecules called cytokines. They give skin cells special signals, due to which the skin begins to thicken and water evaporation is reduced.

But if something goes wrong, then the same cytokines, instead of protective commands, begin to give incorrect commands, and as a result, the skin begins to dry, peel, and red spots and irritation appear on it.

These are not all the problems you may encounter in winter.

In the cold, the sebaceous glands produce an insufficient amount of subcutaneous sebum, and the skin dries out.

People with oily skin will hardly notice this, because they already have an excess of subcutaneous sebum. But those who have dry skin can complicate their situation by making it even more dry.

At low temperatures, the protective mantle of the outer skin weakens, which means that our face becomes more vulnerable to severe frosts. This leads to the appearance of small cracks on the face, which take quite a long time to heal.

Lips suffer especially badly in the cold. Cracks that appear on the lips not only do not heal for a long time, but also cause severe pain and discomfort.

Arriving in the cold, facial skin cannot produce hyaluronic acid and collagen. As a result, it becomes less elastic, less susceptible to regeneration, itches, turns red and flakes.

Frost, literally, deprives the skin of the face of moisture, evaporating it. This leads to dehydration of the skin of all skin types.

Well, dehydration, in turn, is the first cause of aging. Because of this, it is believed that women age faster in winter than in summer.

But there is no need to grieve over this, because we will tell you how to protect your face from the cold.

In winter, our skin doesn't look its best. This is especially true for the face - pale, dry, flabby and tired skin, which often appears red. This is why experts advise making nourishing masks much more often in winter than in spring, summer and autumn. Naturally, today the fashion industry offers a lot of options, but many modern beauties avoid commercial cosmetics - they prefer grandmother’s advice, rather than products from a jar or tube, which sometimes also contain “chemicals” along with useful substances.

In general, face masks have been known since ancient times. Each nation had its own secrets and recipes - they were passed down from generation to generation from one woman to another and thus have survived to our times. To prepare the most popular and effective face masks in winter, fruit pulp, honey, oil vitamins, gelatin, cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, as well as vegetable or essential oils are most often used. Basically, anything in your fridge or pantry can help your skin survive the stress it experiences during the winter. So if you have the following products, you can set up a beauty salon at home right now!
