What cosmetics should not be used in the fall and winter: it is harmful to the skin

The cold season is not only about hot drinks, holidays and warm clothes but also about special skin care. Some products that were relevant in summer can cause dryness and flaking of the skin in winter.

To prevent this, you should follow some makeup rules in the fall and winter seasons. The Health Site shared what cosmetics you should give up and what you should take a closer look at.

Toners

Avoid toners with a high alcohol content as they can dry out the skin. Over time, the use of these products can weaken the skin's natural barrier and make it more vulnerable to environmental factors such as UV radiation.

Clay masks

Face masks that work wonders in the summer can be the enemy of your skin in the cold season. If you like clay masks, use them less often or not at all in the winter as they cause dryness.

Soap for washing

According to experts, the pH level of soap is usually high, which can dry out your face too much. Use a gentle cleanser instead.

Scrub

You can continue to use scrubs even in winter, but do so with caution. Excessive exfoliation can damage the skin barrier.

Powder

Powder additionally dries out the skin, so if your skin type is close to dry, it is better to avoid it during the cold season. If your face is prone to oily sheen, apply the powder with light movements to set your makeup.

Blush

Refrain from using bronzer as blush is much more appropriate in winter. It is better to use creamy textures that will help moisturize.

Eyes

For eye makeup, use more long-lasting products. This is especially true for mascara. The ideal option is thermal mascara, which can be washed off only with warm water without micellar and other auxiliary products.

Lips

Lip care in winter should be especially careful. In the cold season, it's better to avoid pigments because they are very drying, and gloss because it contains a lot of moisture, which looks bad at low temperatures. It is better to use creamy hygienic lipsticks with vitamin E and other nutritional components.
