Our skin suffers from the badly circulated room ventilation and central heating system in winter. And together with this, people take much more proteins, fats, bread and eat more in general, move less.

All these pollute the organism from inside causing skin problems. On the other hand, the cold stimulates and rejuvenates the cells. That’s why the winter coming affects our skin in a good way. But there should be taken some preventive measures to avoid the baneful influence of other factors.

SPA at home

Find a couple of hours a week to do with your beauty in real earnest. Let’s start with the easiest procedure.

Winter face clearness. Take the cosmetic clay and knead it till you get a sour cream consistency. Then apply the clay on to the face and leave it there for 30-40 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then immediately with cold one. The deepest cleaning provides the black clay, that is wholesome for the body care and fights with cellulite.

Winter face peeling. Mix up 1 tbsp oat meal with 1 tea spoon brown rice meal and 2-3 drops of lavender oil. Add a bit of warm water and 1 tea spoon honey. Massage delicately the face and neck skin using this mixture. Then rinse it off with warm water.

Face bath. This is a wonderful procedure for the normalization of the acid-base balance and skin detoxification. However, you’d better omit it, if you have a very sensitive skin or acne rosacea. Put the herbs and oils that fit exactly your skin type into the boiling water (in the pot or anything).

For example, chamomile goes well for the sensitive and dry skin types; peppermint and rosemary – for normal and combination ones as well as acne-affected skin. Lavender is the perfect herbal measure for all skin types.

Autumn season implies special care for our skin including protection, nourishing, moistening, and cleaning+toning. Today we are going to talk about the methods we can use to take a good care of the skin on this changing year time.

To protect your skin, you’d better have fall creams that are noted “regenerative” or “protective”. Such creams will help you to build up the protective barrier for the skin against the weather changes.

It’s also worth mentioning that the fall cosmetics should have more fatty components in its composition than the summer one.

But as is generously known, you should know where to stop, because if you overdo it using a too oil rich cream, you simply harm the skim. The thing is that too fatty cream can cork up the pores when heated (at work for instance) leading to the oxygen penetration into the skin cells.

Masks are also of super importance! They should combine both protective and vitamin qualities. The good example is an oat mask.

Prepare this mask at home using the following recipe. Take 3 tbsp warm cream or milk and add them into 1 tbsp rolled oats. Wait until they swell and then apply the mixture onto the face an snack skin. Leave it there for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water not soaping after.

You probably think the right way: nourishing is of grand importance. Skin requires vitamin C utterly. See if you can include into your ration this vitamin containing products as much as possible: citrus, apples, bell pepper, kiwi, cabbage, greens.

Fresh barriers, fruits and vegetables are perfect for the homemade-cosmetic masks. But the truth is that sometimes skin can bear them as they are too rich with this vitamin.

Expensive creams and make up help to keep your skin beauty but the way you clean your skin determines its health. What to do to achieve a clean one? I’m not talking about some already ready make up removers or tonics. The point is about the washing easy remedies you can make at home by yourself. You know the paradox is that sometimes our skin demands home nourishing “food”.

Choose the type of cleaning that fits your skin type best.

So, here are some recipes you can clean the face, neck and even décolleté area with:

Vegetable oil

There’s no doubt that it’s very wholesome to clean the skin using some vegetable oil: sunflower seed oil, corn oil, olive oil, peach oil, sesame oil or just seed oil.

You need 2 teaspoons of any oil, but warm it up a bit before the procedure. At first, wipe the skin with the cotton wool that is slightly oil-moistened. Then wet it abundantly and rub the skin bottom-up (start from the neck). Rinse it out in 2-3 minutes with cotton wool moistened with some herbal potion, tea, boiled water mixed with fruit juice.

Dairy

The skin can be well cleaned and whitened by sour milk, sour clotted milk and kefir all the year round. The rule is: the fatter and rougher the skin is, the more sour the dairy products should be used. Rub your skin with the sour-milk-wet cotton wool.

If your skin is dry and you feel some burning, rinse you face with water and apply some nourishing cream. If you have oily skin, keep a thin layer of sour milk on the face for the night.

Egg yolk

Egg yolks are globally helpful in skin cleaning from time to time. Take 1 yolk, 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil and the same amount of some fruit juice. Stir the ingredients until you get a uniform mass. Wipe the skin with the mixture thoroughly and leave it for 2-3 min. Then rinse it off with cool water.

Bran

This procedure fits well to oily skin. Take the bran you’ll find: oat bran, rice bran or wheat bran. Grin some oat bran and add 1 tbsp water or boric acid to it. Then mix it carefully and keep in a glass jar. When you want to wash your face, just take 1 tbsp mixture, add some water or sour milk until you get the gruel that’s to be applied onto the skin. Clean the forehead, chin, cheeks, nose and neck with it. Rinse the “gruel” off in 5 min with warm water and then with cool salty/ acidulated water.

Honey

Put a thin layer of honey to the dry skin and massage the place you’ve applied it to with the finger pads until it solidifies. The rests should be taken away by the warm compress. As a result this procedure removes the dead skin cells.

Honey lotion

Take 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon glycerin, 0.5 tbsp whiskey, 45 gr. borax and 0.3 glass of water. Mix up water with borax. Then blend honey and glycerin and add borax water. Put whiskey the last.

Or you can simply mix 1 tbsp honey with 2 glasses of warm water . This easy lotion is very wholesome. Honey water soothes the skin, cleans it and nourishes it well.

Rose extract

Pour almond/ peach oil into 3 cups of dry red rose leaves. Put it onto the water bath until the leaves discoloration. Keep the extract in the tightly closed jar and wipe the face 2 or 3 times a day. This extract cleans the skin perfectly, tones it up and rejuvenates.

Mint tincture

It goes totally well to dry skin. Grind 1 tbsp mint leaves and then pour 1 glass of boiling water into it. Let it draw for 30 min, then filter. This procedure is perfect as a thorough cleaning for porous or aging skin.

Vapor bath

Vapor is very favorable for a blood-vascular skin system; it intensifies blood circulation and perspiration. Under the vapor effect the skin cleans out of the dust, dead cells and so on. Vapor bath is recommended to the coarsened skin or oily acne skin.

Vapor baths are contra-indicated to women with inclination to blood vessels dilation, skin redness, hard heart diseases, bronchial asthma, and blood circulation disturbances.

You job is somehow related to a computer or you spend the bulk majority of your day time sitting in front of this up-to-date machine. So in this case don’t be surprised if you find at your mirror reflection some wrinkles, dark under eyes circles, skin dryness and peeling. This untimely aging is the price you have to pay for the use of the technological progress.

The main reason of the negative influence upon the face skin is an electrostatic field and free radicals around the computer. The electrostatic field affects the acid-base skin balance causing its xerosis and irritation. As for free radicals, they lead to the premature skin aging. No matter what type of face skin you have, its condition deteriorates significantly.

Normal skin becomes dry.

Dry skin turns into the horribly dry one.

Combination skin suffers from broadening and dirtying of pores. There also can emerge some irritation spots.

There are a lot of different skin types. And it’s nessesary to know your skin type for good care and for choosing the right  cosmetics products.

You can determine your skin types at home.

1. Clean your face with a skin liquid cleanser, then wash and clap dry.  Wait for one hour.

2. Make note where your skin senses “tight.”

3. Pressure a separate piece of facial tissue onto each area of your face: nose, chin, center of cheeks, outer cheeks, center of forehead and outer forehead.

4. Inspect each tissue and look for oily mark or flaky skin residue.

5. See results:

• If the whole tissue was oily that indicates an oily skin type.
• If there is oil on only some tissues ( T-zone, which is the center of forehead, nose, chin and center of cheeks)it means you have a combination skin type.
• Flaky residue on all papers,  without oily marks – or a tight feeling in the skin shows a dry skin type.
• No oil and no flaky on any parts of the cosmetic tissue indicates a normal skin type.
