As the monsoon season ends and winter begins to set in, the colors in every wardrobe change from bold to mellow colors, and from bright to pastel colors. You can use winter beauty and fashion tips for dressing up and looking good during winter season. It is celebration time. As the dry northerly winds brings in bad things for your skin, you must get ready with your army of moisturizers, cold creams and cleansing milk. For these can help you to fight away the elements that can make your glowing skin into a dry and parched piece of dirt.
A youthful and healthy skin enhances beauty. It also makes your personality very attractive. Who would not like to be called as star of the evening! With winter beauty and fashion tips, you can get an attractive look for yourself.
Winter Lip Care
Be sure to keep them covered with a good lip balm applied several times during the day. Warm sesame oil will also soothe your lips.
Avoid licking your lips and don't bite the skin on the surface of your lips. The skin will never have a chance to heal if you chew on it. This is a hard habit to break but well worth the effort. Lip balms are nowadays commonly available and some with a SPF factor as well to protect them from the harmful rays.
Exfoliating Your Lips Easily
If your lips are dried out and flaking, try rubbing a little petroleum jelly into your lips and then rubbing gently with a wet face cloth to remove the dead skin cells. You won't want them to dry out any further, so be sure to cover them with a lip balm to hold the moisture in.
You can also exfoliate your lips with just toothbrush and a little Vaseline. Brush the lips gently and be sure that you don't ingest any of the Vaseline. Rubbing lemon juice will also exfoliate the dead skin cells from smoking, cold weather or whatever has robbed your skin of smoothness and color.
Get rid of those dry patches by rubbing the lips with an anti-wrinkle cream. If you are in a habit of licking your lips, this will break the habit. The cream won't taste like a flavored lip balm.
During the winter, you might be tempted to apply a layer of lip balm followed by a layer of lipstick. Lastly during the winter months, it would be wise to stay away from the lipsticks that claim that they are long lasting. Often they can dry your lips out and cold weather will do that fast enough. Instead look for creamy formulations.
Oil Those Nails
Nails take quite a beating all winter long so here is a little tip for keeping them at their best. Every few days, brush them with cuticle/ nail oil and if you can't seem to find any then petroleum jelly will do just fine. And if you really want to care for those cuticles. Then make it your nightly routine to massage petroleum jelly into them to soften them up. If you don't have petroleum jelly, cocoa butter or a vitamin E capsule was also suggested. Petroleum jelly seems to be a product that we should stock up on.
If your nails are weak, splitting, fragile etc, the problem could be traced back to an inadequate water intake. Most people don't drink nearly enough.
No Red Noses
If your latest cold has done a number on your nose, get out that tube of concealed and apply a little to the tip of your finger. Dot it carefully until the glow has lessened and then set it with a bit of translucent powder. No one will ever know.
Satiny Smooth Winter Skin
If you are hoping to keep your skin satiny smooth this winter, here is a recipe that should help. All it involves is mixing equal parts of olive; mustard oil and sesame oil and then massage it all over the body.
Take an hour or so for yourselft perhaps this is the perfect time to pick up that novel and then jump into the bath. This oil is very good for the skin and leaves it smooth and free from blemishes.
Winter Foot Lotions
The summer foot lotions often contain menthol to cool the feet but at the same time, these lotions can be drying. So, to keep feet soft in the winter, look for a lotion that contains petroleum or glycerin to soften the feet.
Dry Legs
In order to avoid those dry, dry legs during winter. Just remember, after each shower be sure to leave your legs just a little damp and slather on the moisturizer. Your legs will thank you!
Are Bath's A Good Thing?
As much as we love it, taking a hot bath during the winter is not a good habit to get into especially if they are long in duration. As they rob your skin of natural oils so try to limit the time spent in the bath and don't use hot water.
Lower the temperature to something just nice and comfortable. Water that is too hot isn't good for you anyway. Switch to a shower, that is even better. And don't forget a good body lotion and slather it on.
