Going to a good dermatologist or cosmetologist can change the way you look-giving your skin a glow and giving your face a rested appearance. But all the efforts of professionals will be in vain if you neglect daily home care.

According to Who What Wear, it is better to choose products together with a professional - there is a great variety of them for all needs and budgets, but the rules of care are quite universal. Dermatologists advise to follow them regardless of your skin type, age, or the weather outside.

Less is more, but better

Grooming can be extremely enjoyable and a 10-step procedure with a host of products can be a lot of fun. But the tricky thing about such care is that the ingredients in different creams, serums, gels and masks can conflict with each other and cause skin irritation instead of improving skin condition. Therefore, it is better to pick up the necessary minimum of means, but so that all of them were the most effective and useful and suitable for you.

Never skip evening cleansing

In the morning wash can be as simple as possible, but in the evening cleansing the skin of the face should be given more attention. During the day it has time to collect makeup residue, sebum and dust from the city. All together, they can clog pores and cause comedones. In addition, this "armor" will reduce the effectiveness of any skin-care products.

It is best to use lukewarm water, not hot, for evening washing. If desired, it can be done in two stages: first oil-based means to cleanse the skin from greasy impurities, and then foam or gel to wash away all the rest.

You need UV protection all year round

After experiencing several waves of fashion for tanning, dermatologists have come to the unanimous opinion that the sun's ultraviolet light is not very beneficial for the skin. On the contrary, it significantly accelerates the rate of photoageing. Therefore, sunscreens are a must-have in any makeup bag. And the more so because type A rays are all around us all year round, regardless of the weather. Sunscreen will prevent them from causing redness and spots of hyperpigmentation, so your skin tone will be more even. So SPF should be with you all year long.

Don't forget about your neck

So often when we take care of our faces, we forget about our necks. And yet the skin on it is just as delicate, even thinner and more sensitive, and needs just as much care. Moreover, the neck tends to age earlier and give away age, regardless of how well-groomed the face is. Of course, you can splurge on special products for the neck - the cosmetics industry offers them too. But if you don't want to overcomplicate your care, apply the same products to this area and the decollete zone as you do to your face. Including sanscreen.

Adjust your care to the seasons

The need to change something in our care is most noticeable in winter, when we have to expose our skin several times a day to cold and humid outdoor air and warm and dry homes. This leads to dryness, tightness and irritation. The skin loses moisture and looks dull. Therefore, in winter we need milder cleansers and moisturizers thicker in texture. Especially for the lips and hands. And in summer we need deeper cleansers and lighter textures.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, beautician Stephanie Belusiak advised what you should change in your facial care in winter.
