The winter is approaching at a fast pace, and if you want to look just perfect, you have to prepare your skin for it. Even though winter is absolutely beautiful once the temperatures drop and it starts snowing, you risk getting dry skin if you don’t prepare properly. We will talk about winter skin care tips and show you how to properly care about your skin.

Winter is coming: skin care tips for winter

Now, before we talk about essential gear and make up, let’s focus on skin care tips for winter. Winter, although beautiful, is harsh for our skin. The cold air makes our skin dry, and without proper care, it will take months to repair the damage caused by it. Because of this, it’s of utmost importance to hydrate and protect your skin on a daily basis, especially if you go out every day (and most of us do, either to work or classes). Depending on your skin type, choose an appropriate moisturizer and apply it after washing your face and drying it with a towel. Do this on daily basis. Finding a good moisturizer may take some time. The best way to choose one is to go to the drug store and check what Uriage, Vichy or La Roche. These three will most probably have what you are looking for, but you should know that they also cost a pretty penny, so don’t be surprised when you hear the prices.

Makeup

If you wish to look like a queen of winter, you most definitely need Sigma Beauty. For the most dazzling look, you should definitely lookup their fantasy palettes. You will get the most out of the Aquataenia and Palette D’Antoinette if you wish to go for that winter fairy look. Add some metallic silver, blue milk or pure white eyeliner to it, and you already have the most dazzling look there is. We suggest that you try them, as you won’t find better and brighter colors. Of course, you will also require the proper tools to apply the make-up. If you haven’t heard of sigma yet, you are missing on some of the best brushes out there. They may be a bit pricy, but these are all the brushes you will ever need for your make-up and with proper care, they can last for years. You can choose a whole set, or if you prefer to test them first, you can order a single brush and see why they are so good. We suggest you take a travel kit to check all the different brushes. You can also choose their make up, be it the brow design kit or the eye shadow palettes. Check out different beauty blogs to see how to properly apply your make-up.

Skin care tips

As with any other make-up, you have to make sure to properly remove your make-up in the evening. Sleeping in with make-up is the worst thing you can do.. Also, cleansing your face and proper exfoliation from time to time can make a difference. The most important of all skin care tips, no matter if winter or summer, is to remove your make-up before going to bed, wash your face thoroughly and apply some night cream for deep moiturization. When you wake up, your skin will be soft, firm, with no blemishes and no dry spots.
