Top 5 winter cosmetics for the face

In the beauty selection of cosmetics, which you will find below, there is everything you need for facial skin care during the cold period. So, this set can be safely called the rating of the best winter cosmetics, according to the editors of Healthy-Food

Why facial skin needs special care in winter

As soon as the temperature crawls to zero marks, winter difficulties for the skin begin. The first is dryness. It is associated with objective reasons: cold air (especially frosty) is basically dry, and we breathe even drier air in apartments and offices with central heating. From this point of view, a humidifier can also be considered a beauty gadget. Increased dryness means thinning of the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin, which means its sensitivity and vulnerability. Often, lips feel it first of all, they have the thinnest skin. Therefore, in winter they are of particular relevance:

  • nourishing, lipid-balancing oil textures (if the skin type allows, of course);

  • gentle cleansing;

  • special “winter” cosmetics that can reduce skin sensitivity;

  • additional lip care.

It is these “winter” products that Healthy-Food considers to be the most relevant now.

1. Cleansing oil

Gel oil for removing makeup and cleansing the skin of the face Absolue, Lancôme

A luxurious remedy for those with dry and sensitive skin. Since the skin in principle becomes more capricious in winter due to harsh weather conditions and dry air as a result of the operation of heating devices at home and in the office, you can try this version for a comfortable wash.

In addition to a pleasant consistency, you will definitely appreciate the quality of skin cleansing – even waterproof makeup is removed instantly.

And of course, like most modern cleansing formulas, the oil provides care: oil and rose extract saturate the skin with antioxidants and soften it.

How to use cleansing oil.

  1. The product is applied to dry skin.

  2. Then the face is lightly massaged with wet fingers, and the gel-oil gradually turns into a delicate foam.

  3. After that, you just need to wash with warm water.

2. Light day cream

Light cream Toleriane Sensitive, La Roche-Posay

Its main secret is a prebiotic formula that allows you to create optimal conditions for the regulation of the skin microbiome. For those who are not yet aware of what a microbiome is, let us explain that this is the name of the totality of bacteria that perform the most important functions:

  • maintain the integrity of the protective hydrolipid mantle of the skin;

  • help to resist adverse external influences.

If probiotics are beneficial bacteria themselves and their enzymes, then prebiotics are “nutrition” for beneficial bacteria. It is provided by a composition that includes thermal water in a high (74%) concentration.

Also in the cream formula includes:

  1. soothing vitamin B3;

  2. skin moisturizing vegetable glycerin;

  3. ceramides, which are components of the protective mantle of the skin and contribute to its strengthening.

The cream is suitable for daily moisturizing care. And for very dry skin, you can use a rich version of the product. This is a great “winter” facial.

3. Night care

Night balm Aquasource Night Spa, Biotherm

It lives up to its name, as it turns a night’s sleep into a spa treatment. Thanks to the gel texture, the product easily lays on the skin, quickly spreads and absorbs without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling. A noticeable calming effect is felt immediately. Plus a feeling of comfort, which appears as a result of effective moisturizing, so necessary for the skin in winter.

Biotherm’s signature ingredient, Thermal Plankton Extract, boosts skin’s moisture levels, while Mannose reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Since the cream is suitable for sensitive skin, it can be safely introduced into the beauty diet during the cold season and considered an excellent “winter” remedy.

For maximum effectiveness, we recommend using this balm, like all night creams, 1-3 hours before bedtime.

4. Lip mask

Night mask for lips Buttermask For Lips, Kiehl’s

Not quite the usual genre – a lip mask, and even a night one. Its main advantage lies in the fact that the tool can be used not only before bedtime, but also during the day. After all, lips often peel off in winter, regardless of skin type.

Coconut, mango, jojoba, cocoa, and castor oils have the ability to reliably protect the skin, removing flaking and dryness. Vanilla and stevia extracts make the use of the mask also incredibly comfortable.

A lip mask is an indispensable thing for outdoor enthusiasts in the winter. Do not forget about it when you once again choose winter cosmetics.

5. Face oil

Luxury Nutrition Transforming Extraordinary Oil, L’Oréal Paris

If you haven’t already, now is the time to experience the benefits of facial oils. After all, it was with oils that from ancient times protected the skin from the winter cold. What is the value of oil textures adapted to the state of “dry oil”? While retaining their nutritional properties, products with a “dry” texture are quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy film feeling.

Extraordinary oil L’Oréal Paris for 98% consists of natural ingredients – these are oils of lavender, geranium, orange, rosemary, rose, rosehip (there are eight of them in the formula).

Just be careful and choose the product according to your skin type. By the way, now there are oils for mixed skin.
