Skin Care In Summer And Winter
During winter and summer season people face lots of skin problems. During winters people face skin flaking and cracking and during summer people face sunburnand oily skin. It is very important to keep your skin healthy as it not only makes your body healthy but also make you look beautiful..Here are the safety measures for your skin during both the seasons
- During winter season, our body generates a lot of energy in order to keep itself warm and provide protection against cold weather. This strengthens the digestive system of the body and help to digest even heavier food easily. The energy generated can be stored to be utilized throughout remaining part of the year.
- Drinking plenty of water everyday would ensure that your skin remains soft, supple and well-hydrated. Internal hydration keeps skin cells plump and healthy.
- The dry air during winter season can make your skin worst, therefore it is better to maintain humidity inside your living space, prefereably with a humidifier.
- Start the day with a lukewarm shower. Keep baths or showers short; limit them to one per day. Avoid harsh (typically colored, fragrant or antibacterial) soaps and stick with mild non-drying soaps.
- Try to protect your hands from the cold air and low humidity, by wearing gloves, which are made up from material that does not irritate your skin.
- Keeping the skin stimulated is a delicate balancing act. Too much can be as bad as too little. Never use anything that leaves your skin thirsty. If it feels sore or taught after using a product, stop using it.
MakeUp Ideas In Winter
- During the winter months you can get away with using makeup that has more sparkle and shine to it. One way that you can add sparkle to your makeup is to use a powder that is infused with sparkles.
- Try colored mascara like navy, burgundy, and auburn that gives lashes a subtle color and some depth as well, without looking too obvious.
- Either your moisturizer or your foundation should have broad-spectrum sun protection.
- Smokey eyes look best in winters. For sultry effect, you can use eye shadows in cinnamon and coffee shades.
- A sheer layer of creamy blush-on can boost up the subtle makeup look that you adopt in winters.
- Tinted lip balms, in honey, blackberry and red currant tones, look great in the winter season.
- A light, matt foundation as well as a tinted powder, with a slight shimmer, look great in winters.
- For fragrance, it is best to stick to essence of essential oils, spices and other natural aromas.
- For clean and glowing skin, use a scrub made of equal amounts of corn flour and honey, once a week
- Apply a fruit or vegetable mask appropriate for your skin type. Cucumbers, avocados, apricots and papayas lend themselves well to homemade masks. Puree the fruit or vegetable and blend with some yogurt, honey, oatmeal and lemon juice (for oily skin) or rosewater (for dry skin) and apply evenly to the face.

- Drink a cup of milk every day, and also combine milk with ingredients like almond meal and rose water to make a Pitta-balancing skin cleanser.
- Eat fruits and vegetables that are rich with alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxy and antioxidants such as vitamin C, E and A. Citrus fruits, strawberries and tomatoes contain lots of vitamin C. Wheat germ, nuts, seeds, whole grains and fish-liver oil can give you vitamin E protection. Carrots, squash, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe, peaches and apricots are rich in vitamin A.
- Never go out in the blazing sun without a high-SPF lotion or cream spread on those sensitive areas. Anywhere that you may normally burn, make sure to cover it with a high-SPF sunblock lotion. Apply generously...trust me, the sun is relentless.
