Hydration and protection against cold
Our skin needs different care as the seasons progress. It is important that in winter we maintain a hydration and protection against the continued cold of our epidermis against external agents: cold, pollution and sun. To moisturize and protect the skin against cold, in addition to sun protection to prevent aging, we must seal our skin with a foundation.
In winter, with the descent of mercury, our skin registers drastic temperature changes due to the variations we endure between the outside and the inside of spaces with environments that dry out the skin and age it prematurely.
Nowadays, thanks to the research carried out by the big cosmetics companies, we have in the market products suitable for each type of skin, but we must not forget that our attitude and keeping the treatments day and night, is key to continue showing the Radiant skin, also during the winter.
Protect your skin with a foundation
Unlike what many people may believe, a foundation does not dirty the pores of the skin (always speaking of products tested dermatologically), its function is quite another. On the one hand, it unifies the tone of the skin, that is, it brings the same tone to the whole face, hiding redder or darker areas.
In addition to unifying the skin, it acts as a barrier against external agents allowing the treatment that we have previously applied, work during the time established in its composition. For that reason, it is called "sealer".
How to choose the right makeup base
When choosing a makeup, it is important that it be the same tone as our skin so that it offers a natural look. The color, if desired, is later added with blush or colored loose powders.
First of all, we must know that our skin changes throughout the year and offers different shades. Therefore, the base chosen in winter may not offer us the same results as in the month of May, for example.
It is important to test the product on the face. We apply an "inch" of product in the lower area of the cheek (just above the jaw), we extend it and if the base, it blends with our skin, we will have found the perfect foundation for this time of year.
Take care and look your beauty!
