Cosmetologist told about winter beauty treatments for the face

Winter skin care requires a special approach. In winter, due to the cold, dry indoor air, the skin becomes dehydrated, becomes sensitive, irritations and rashes appear. Therefore, the emphasis in care should be on deep hydration and nutrition. On December 18, Zarema Omarova, a dermatologist, cosmetologist, and co-owner of Dr. Omarov's clinic network, told Izvestia about this.

"In winter, creams and serums with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin can be used in care. For problematic skin or age—related changes in winter, you need a cream with acids, as well as retinol as a skin renewal stimulant," she advised.

The doctor reminded me that protection from direct sunlight should not be neglected in winter. Even in frosty weather, you need a screen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Although the winter sun seems mild, it continues to have a significant effect on the skin condition.

In windy weather, the skin needs additional protection from wind and cold air. Before going outside, protective creams or products with antioxidants can be applied for this purpose.

Skin and hair care during the cold period: proven methods and procedures

With a balanced skin condition, you can move on to more complex manipulations. First of all, we will talk about hardware procedures. They work by damaging the skin, so they require rehabilitation in the form of bruising, swelling, and peeling. Hardware procedures are especially effective in winter in conditions of low solar activity, dry air and cold weather, Omarova noted.

She talked about the procedures that can be done during the New Year holidays. It is noted that the laser rejuvenation procedure is ideal for this time — it will allow you to even out the skin's relief, shrink pores, smooth out wrinkles, remove blood vessels, and traces of post-acne. RF lifting and ultrasonic SMAS lifting are effective for stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, tightening the contours of the face, and reducing local fat deposits, for example, in the chin and flaps. Photo rejuvenation, the dermatologist notes, will remove pigmentation, even out skin tone, remove vessels on the wings of the nose and other superficial vascular asterisks.

"In addition to devices, the skin needs deeper hydration in winter, it is also provided by hardware techniques and mesotherapy. The skin is deeply moisturized, its quality is improved, and the processes of regeneration and renewal are stimulated. Lipolytics also help to destroy fat cells and are indispensable for rapid volume correction. Injections of fillers based on hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite allow you to visually correct the contour of the face," the specialist advised.

To shorten the recovery period of the skin after these procedures, you need to follow all the doctor's instructions, perform procedures in a clinic, and carefully choose a specialist.

On November 30, cosmetologist Anastasia Shibaeva and experts from the Golden Apple told Izvestia about skin hydration during the heated season. According to experts, dryness worsens the appearance of fine wrinkles and exacerbates chronic dermatoses, including eczema, atopic dermatitis and acne. It was clarified that basic home care with gentle cleansing without aggressive surfactants should be established for care. The experts named foams and cream gels as preferred.
