Hot summer days are already behind, and therefore it's time to change body care and prepare it for the cold autumn and winter frosts.
Cleansers for the skin
Many means for removing make-up remove not only cosmetics from the face, but also skin fat - a natural protection, therefore, in the autumn-winter period, when the skin is exposed to aggressive external factors, it is better to use cleansers on a fat basis.

Moisturizing face skin
Daily moisturizing cream for autumn should be nutritious to resist seasonal dehydration of the skin. For example, it can be a cream with hyaluronic acid present in it - an excellent ingredient that can draw water from the environment and nourish the skin. You can also pay attention to moisturizing serum, which is applied under the moisturizing cream and nourishes the skin all day.
Body Moisturizing
And again moisturizing! From inclement weather and merciless heaters, which "steal" moisture from our skin, not only the skin of the face, but the whole body suffers. You will try right after the shower, a little by dabbing the skin with a towel, apply a nourishing cream for the body or milk. This will help preserve additional moisture.
Adjust the water temperature
Despite the fact that under the hot water spout during the cold weather it's very nice to warm up, it's unlikely to please your skin. Therefore, for the benefit of beauty and health of the skin, take a shower under the warm water.

Avoid alcohol-containing products
When sprays or other alcohol-containing products get on the surface of the skin, we feel cool and fresh, and with it the valuable moisture leaves us, which we try so hard to retain and replenish.
Do not use a hairdryer
Easier said than done. Sometimes in a hurry you forget about all the rules and advice and grab the hair dryer, like a saving straw drowning. But if time allows, it is better to refuse the hair dryer, because the hair is already shocked by the change in weather and central heating, where to injure them even more?
Moisturizing from the inside
Do not forget that humidification is not enough outside. Your hands, feet, elbows and knees require more, so drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily. And if your body milk does not save individual parts of the body from dryness, then try using moisturizing creams with shea butter, tea tree oil, linoleic acid or glycerin.
Lips
Cracked, bleeding lips look very unaesthetic. Use a lip balm with SPF of at least 15, and preferably with antiseptic to repair damage. Also, painful cracks will help to cure lip balms with tea tree oil, phenol, beeswax, aloe, vitamin E and essential oils.
