In general, it is better not to wash in winter, but to cleanse the skin with special cosmetic products. Dry skin with cosmetic cream or milk. Normal and mixed skin is a make-up remover that does not contain oil. If you have oily skin, consider that you are lucky, because it is much frost-resistant than dry. But also it needs to be cleaned with more sparing cosmetic means - lotions, tonics and gels without the maintenance of alcohol.
Scrubs and peelings

Moisturizing the skin

In the cold season, most of the time we spend in heated rooms, resulting in our skin overdrying. Without moisturizing creams can not do. But there is one rule: any cosmetic products containing water are applied to the skin 40-60 minutes before going out. Otherwise, you risk frostbite your cheeks, as a result your skin will hurt, will begin to peel off. It is better to use intensive moisturizers in the evening, when you no longer need to go out. For skin care in winter, choose moisturizing creams with a denser texture than for summer. It is desirable that they include almond oil, aloe, azulene, walnut extract, D-panthenol. They moisturize, soothe, reduce the redness of the skin. Apply the cream to a cleaned face, remove excess with a napkin. During the heating season, the facial skin literally dries and becomes rough. To avoid dry skin, you should increase the level of humidity inside the room - get an air humidifier. Several times a day, lightly sprinkle your face with boiled water from a spray gun. The makeup will not spoil it, but the skin will receive an additional portion of moisture.
