Winter brings with it one or two beauty-related challenges. Little sunlight, dry heated air and too little fresh air make many of us look tired and pale. Spending so much time indoors may have caused dark circles under the eyes to form and the skin to become dry and flaky. So it’s not so easy to look fresh and fit even in the dark season! If you try to make the most of it, winter can also be a real beauty season! We explain what you can pay attention to in order to survive the cold days and still shine.
The right skin care
In winter the skin needs different care than in summer. Due to cold and dry air, it tends to dry out much more quickly. So use particularly rich moisturizers this time of year to take good care of your skin. A moisturizing mask once a week can also work wonders. Don’t forget to protect your lips with a good lip balm. To make the skin appear fresher and more vibrant, you should also use a regular peeling. This ensures that old, dead skin cells are removed. For normal skin, mechanical peelings with small abrasive grains are suitable, which you can also make yourself at home. However, if you have very dry or impure skin, it is better to use gentler enzyme peelings. Then use a gentle bronzer to create a radiant complexion in winter. Together with the right highlighter, you can say goodbye to pale winter skin.
Gentle tan
If you have light skin type, you don’t have to look tanned every season. By the way, elegant paleness is also in trend. If you still want to help a little, then self-tanner is a good choice. Visits to the solarium, on the other hand, put unnecessary strain on your skin and promote skin cancer. Make sure you cleanse and exfoliate your skin well before applying the self-tanner. This way the result will be beautifully even.
Exercise in the fresh air
Moderate endurance sports such as cycling, jogging or walking are also a good idea in winter. Not only does exercise keep excess pounds at bay during the Christmas holidays, it also stimulates blood circulation. This in turn leaves your face looking fresh and rosy. You can also get some vitamin D on nice days. If it’s too uncomfortable outside, indoor sports are a good alternative. Home workouts, yoga, Pilates or a few laps in the swimming pool are also suitable for boosting your metabolism.
Beauty comes from within!
A healthy and balanced diet not only ensures that we get sick less – it also makes us look fresher overall. Fruit and vegetables should occupy a central place in the diet. They are rich in essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Cranberries, for example, contain a lot of vitamin C and are therefore real boosters for the immune system in the cold season. Another key aspect of healthy eating in winter is adequate fluid intake. Cold temperatures and dry heated air can easily lead to dehydration, even if we are less thirsty than in summer. Therefore, drink enough water, herbal teas or warm soups to keep your body hydrated.
Sufficient rest and sleep
It’s not called “beauty sleep” for nothing. When we snuggle up in bed at night, the body regenerates and compensates for the exertions of the day. The skin also needs these hours to regenerate. A restful night’s sleep is all the more important for a radiant complexion. To give your skin additional support, you should clean it well before sleeping and remove all make-up residue. Also apply a nourishing moisturizer that can work overnight. If you tend to have trouble falling asleep, get into the habit of falling asleep. Various things can help you relax better in the evening:
- Make sure to turn off your smartphone and avoid blue light from screens at least two hours before bed.
- Stop confronting yourself with upsetting or upsetting content before bed.
- Write down your thoughts in a journal as they pop into your head.
- Do a little meditation.
- Surround yourself with calming scents like lavender or sandalwood.
- Take a hot bath or drink your favorite tea before bed.
- Only go to bed when you are really tired. If you can’t fall asleep, get up for a moment and do something else before trying once more.
How much sleep we need varies from person to person – but for most adults, seven to eight hours is ideal. Listen to your body and your biorhythm to find the right bedtime for you.
