How to Take Care of Your Skin During Cold Days
This year’s winter isn’t pampering us at all. Even if we can only dream about the white landscape outside the window, we can sometimes get surprised by the chilly mornings and evenings. Therefore, we should not forget about proper skin care, because our complexion during this season has specific needs and requirements.
Oiling
The hydrolipid coat is the outermost layer of the epidermis. It’s composed of water and fats, and it affects the skin’s elasticity and hydration level. Wind, snow and frost tend to damage this coat, and that’s why we should choose cosmetics that will restore it. The best choice will be oils that not only deeply moisturize and oil but also soothe irritations and protect the skin against low temperatures. It’s worth to pick oils with low comedogenic rating, namely, those that don’t clog pores and don’t contribute to the formation of blackheads and pimples. These are oils made from, for example, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, avocado seeds, apricot kernels.
Moisturizing
Another element of hydrolipid coat restoration is providing it with moisturizing ingredients. It’s worth to equip yourself with creams that contain hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, because they regenerate and deeply moisturize the skin. When it comes to the consistency of a cosmetic, our choice should be guided by the type of skin on which we want to use it – a thick cream is perfect for a dry skin, whereas a light cream or emulsion are ideal for oily/combined skin. Another way to moisturize and restore the skin is to use face masks. Sheet masks, for instance, ideally fit to the face, helping ingredients get to the deeper layers of the skin, and we can notice the effects right after the first use. We would like to recommend you our set of seven face sheet masks,
in a handy metal bag.
Cleansing
We should pay particular attention to what we use to cleanse our face in winter. It’s worth to choose delicate products (without SLS and SLES) and those that prevent water loss. In our Quin Face series, you’ll find, among others, Moisturizing Facial Cleansing Gel (smooths and conditions the skin, while the contained in it sodium hyaluronate has a protective and an anti-aging action) and Nourishing Micellar Water (moisturizes, nourishes and makes the skin elastic, while the complex of vitamins A, E, F and B accelerates its regeneration).
Warning – UV radiation!
Most of us are aware how important it is to protect the skin against the UV radiation. With the arrival of summer season, we equip ourselves with sunblock creams and sunscreen milks in order to avoid getting our skin too dry and damaged. However, many people forget that sun protection is important in winter, too! Even though the risk may not be so great during current weather, but we should remember about photoprotection when going, for example, skiing. The sun’s rays reflect off the snow crystals and intensively affect the skin, speeding up its aging process. Thus, it would be a good idea to prepare a preparation with a high sun protection factor (minimum SPF 50), which will provide us with an effective protection.
Lips – exfoliation and moisturization
The skin of our lips gets dry mostly during winter due to the fact that sebaceous glands aren’t present in this part of the body. That’s why our lips should be covered with a layer of a moisturizing cosmetic. It can be a lipstick or Vaseline, however, to ensure a comprehensive protection to our pout, we recommend you our lip oils – Quin Face So Juicy & Natural. They are available in two versions – orange and blueberry – and they can nourish even the most chapped lips thanks to vitamin E and a complex of oils: soybean, argan, coconut, macadamia, castor, avocado, green olive, grapeseed. The oils add a delicate shine to the lips. A regular lip scrub will complement the lip care, making it effective by removing flaky skin as well as smoothing and preparing your lips for an eventual lipstick application. Our lip scrubs from Quin Face Sweet & Natural series (also available in two versions – orange and blueberry) contain natural exfoliating particles (sugar crystals) and help the lips to regain their appropriate level of hydration, nourishment as well as healthy color.
If you will not forget to properly take care of your skin during winter, it will surely repay you with smoothness, softness and beautiful shine!
