Winter Skin Care Tips

Any where on the world you may be in, you will have to change your daily routine to suit the seasonal temperatures. By changing a few habits and with the knowledge how your skin functions, you will be able to maintain glowing skin even during winter.
Take a Hot Shower
First thing you need to do in the morning is to take a hot shower and follow it with a fifteen second cold shower. Go for a two minute hot shower once more and finish it off with another ten second cold shower.

Now why is this done? This is a skin energizing technique followed in hydrotherapy, which improves the blood flow in your body. This gives your body a dose of new energy and is very good for your skin. The process in itself is not fun on a winter morning, but your skin will radiate the positive effects.
Use a Quality Moisturizer
You need to always use a quality moisturizer. The day cream you apply should be really protective and must have zinc oxide and should give SPF30 protection from the nature. The best ones are the water in oil type emulsions which are more creamier.

Never forget your lips as that will be one of the most noticeable features of a lady. Use a good quality, really moisturizing, vitamin E containing lip balm to keep your lips gorgeous and elastic.
Exfoliate Your Skin Minimum of at Least Two Times a Week
You should exfoliate a minimum of at least two times a week in order to get rid of the dead cells and to let your skin get all the possible moisture it can. You hate the oily skin in summer. But that oil is not generated in winter due to the room heating and cool temperatures out side. This causes in lose of the extra water which is usually stored in the lower skin.

This may cause the visibility of lines on your skin and premature ageing. Your skin may turn puffy and dark too.
There is a Chinese herbal treatment in which you have to drink a glass of hot water mixed with lemon to revitalize your skin. This is known to de-tox you body and even your liver and gall bladder. This helps in faster blood cleaning in your body which further help in removing the blood toxins which are known to give you bad skin as well.
Take Sleep Seven to Eight Hour
You need to have regularly seven or eight or nine hours of sleep. Nothing can give you the peace and rest given by a good nights sleep.

If you do not get regular sleep, the oxygen levels in your body will reduce and cause the slower generation of newer cells on your body. This will cause ageing as well. Nothing can give you the easy benefits of a good nights sleep!!

How To Apply Diffrent Eye Shadows

Powder Eye shadow
The powder type of the eyeshadow is the best to use, because it is usually well pigmented which makes sure that the true color comes out even with a mild stroke.


Also the color doesn’t fade when exposed to bright lighting. The powder eye shadow is available both in matte as well as shimmer finish.

Matte eye shadow is best used to create a sheer texture, while shimmer eye shadow should be used when you’re trying to create a rich and intense texture.

Liquid Eye shadow
At the time of buying this type of eye shadow, you must look for the lightweight texture, so that the application remains easy.

Applying it can be a little tricky; you need to hold your eyelid very still till the eye shadow has completely dried, because the liquid eye shadows are highly prone to flaking and getting messed up around the crease.

The liquid ones are best suited when you are going to be using just one single color, because blending different shades will turn out to be real messy job.

Cream based eye shadows
In case of the cream based eye shadow, you can think about blending but you must avoid blending more than two colors or else you will see a grayish tinge on the crease.

These ones are best applied with your fingertips or a sponge applicator.

Creamy eye shadows can bleed at times, so you should use an eye pencil along the eyelashes, to prevent the eye shadow from bleeding into the eyes.
