Face Care during the Winter The winter season is here and just about everyone is starting to feel the changes in their skin during this time of year. Your face is the part of your body that is usually exposed the most during the winter time, so it is definitely a must that you have a plan of action on how you will need to take care of your face during this time of the year. The last thing that you will want to deal with this season is dry skin that results in flaking, cracking, and even eczema (where the skin becomes inflamed). Let’s take a look at some of the tips that you can do to make sure your skin has a beautiful, healthy, and glowing look.

 

Winter Facial Skin Care Tips

In order to make sure that you have smooth, beautiful skin during the wintertime, you will want to make sure that you boost your skin care regimen in order to have a moist and healthy face. Here are a few things that you can do:

 

  • Using the proper soaps is extremely important during this time of the year. You will definitely want to stay away from washing your face with regular bath soaps since they can be extremely detrimental to your skin. They typically dry out your face because a lot of them contain glycerin and alcohol.
  • Find an “ointment” moisturizer that’s oil-based instead of choosing a water-based moisturizer. The oils will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture than a cream or lotion.
  • Many people really enjoy a hot bath, especially during the colder months of the year, but the intense heat of a bath or even a hot shower actually breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, which in turn leads to your skin losing some of its moisture. Opt in for lukewarm baths as oppose to a burning-hot bath.

Face Masks to make During Winter

Over hundreds of years, women from all across the world have understood the importance of applying a face mask, but it seems as though many of us today are finding excuses to just not do it, simply because we truly don’t know how. Here you will find simple natural masks that your face will benefit from during the wintertime.

  • Egg Mask- The egg white can be mixed with a drop of fragrant oil and powdered orange peel. Leave on your face for a few minutes then rinse face in warm water, followed by a warm washcloth. If you have greasy skin, you will definitely want to try this face mask since the orange peels open up the clogged pores and the egg whites tighten the skin.
  • Yogurt Mask- Combine 1tbsp of honey and 1 tbsp of plain yogurt and mix the two ingredients. Apply to your face and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Then you simply wash your face off with a steaming wash cloth. This mask is great for all skin types and is a great cooling mask. If you have drier skin, you can add an extra teaspoon of honey and if you have oilier skin you can add a drop of fresh lime juice.
  • Avocado Mask- You will mash the flesh of an avocado with a fork and add a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Once mixed, you will want to apply the mixture onto your face and let it sit for about 10 minutes before you rinse off with warm water. This mask is known to give your skin a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and softening agents to fight winter dryness.

You definitely want to moisturize your face after you have removed the masks. Your skin should always stay moisturized during the winter months so that it does not get flaky.
