1. Dry Skin Type

 If you have dry skin, winters can be nightmare because your skin gets itchy in the season. No matter how much you apply moisturizing cream, your skin stays dry all the same. For these skin types, you have to do a decent base makeup job otherwise you would end up seeing unset makeup and a lot of dead skin cells on the skin surface. All you can do is to provide ample hydration for the skin. Use skin toner to prime the texture every morning after facial wash and apply moisturizer for base in gentle massaging motion. Leave it for five minutes for better dermal absorption and start your makeup. The heaters inside your office can dry up the moisturizer you put on in the morning so put a drop of facial oil in the base foundation (BB cream, CC cream etc.) for makeup correction during the day. Apply another layer of hydrating cream near the eyes and the mouth where it gets drier than the rest of the areas. Take an ample amount of cream or balm to gently apply on the dry areas and remove dead skin cells during the day when your face gets all fluffy and dry.

2. Complex Skin Type

Complex skin types are tricky to handle all year round. In the winter, the T zone remains oily yet the U zone around the facial contour gets dry. It is crucial to strike a balance between moisture and oil for these skin types. Apply moisturizer around the T and U zones before putting makeup on and apply another layer of hydration for areas except U zone. Use sponge to apply it on the T zone and use hand for application on other areas. Put cream or balm moisturizer on the hand and cover your face with both hands for dermal absorption mid-day when your face gets all dry. Use oil paper film for T zones before putting on correction makeup.

3. Oily Skin Type

People with oily skin end up putting up too much of everything because their derma feels dry while the skin surface seems oily. It can create vicious cycle to put on oily cream too heavily on the skin for these skin types in the winter. It is essential for these skin types to reduce oiliness yet to offer ample hydration. Prime your skin texture with fresh skin toner after facial wash and apply gel-type moisturizer. After dermal absorption, apply yet another layer of moisturizer if you still feel dry on the skin. Apply effectively setting and covering base makeup and mix it with hydrating skin essence for application. Apply another layer of it if you feel you need more coverage. The skin surface may seem oily yet the skin beneath the foundation layer can be dry during the mid day. Use oil paper film to remove the floating oiliness and apply moisturizer and skin essence to provide hydration. Wait a while for absorption and then put on the base makeup.

1. How Liquor Affects the Skin

Drinking alcoholic beverages makes you feel good and hazy but still you are not far away from being surprised at how red your face has become after a couple of drinks. Some people are immune to this but most of us experiences reddening and hot face after drinks. Drinking expands your blood vessels and tears up the capillaries. Continued excessive drinking can lead to chronic facial blushing so it requires caution.

Once you start drinking, the alcohol gets degraded inside your system. Along the process, your skin gets deteriorated and dry, ending up becoming red and irritated by contact-induced allergies. When a large amount of alcohols gets inside your body, enzymes are secreted to detoxify the alcohol and the whole process requires a lot of water. This means drinking a lot of water while drinking alcohol can be effective otherwise you cannot avoid having rather dry skin the day after you drank much. Keep a cup of water close by while you drink to retain skin moisture.

2. How to Take Care of Your Skin After Drinking

Drinking can increase sebum secretion and androgen generation, which lead to skin troubles. So, your skin requires special care after you drank a lot.

It is extremely bad for your skin if you go to sleep without cleaning and washing your skin after drinking session. It is also crucial for women to remove makeup thoroughly too. Drinking heats up your skin and expands your skin pores, so if you don’t wash your face, the makeup residue as well as other contaminants get into these pores and block them, winding up to generate skin flaws and troubles.

It is best to wash off with water of the similar temperature to your body. Make sure to apply light gel first so that the heat of the face can be let out for a while before applying heavier and thicker moisturizing cream layer.

Your face can be fluffy, dry and swollen after a heavy drinking session the night before, especially worse if you drank liquor a lot with salty snacks. Put the cooling pack on and wash gently off with warm water if the face is excessively swollen. Using a facial mask pack the next morning is another effective method to relieve swelling.

1. What’s Good with Liquor

There are two types of cholesterol, HDL that prevents artery hardening in the blood and bad LDL that accelerates it. When you drink moderate level of alcohol, it boosts the HDL levels in the blood, preventing heart-related diseases and blood clots. A modest level of drinking before meals facilitates secretion of digestive fluid to boost digestion ability in the stomach. It also clears your head and relieves depression and anxiety

But even the modest level of drinking can be bad for some people. It can be fatal for those suffering from high blood pressure and liver diseases. Drinking is also bad for those taking sleeping pills, anti-depression pills, anti-histamine pills, aspirin and arthritis pills. You should avoid drinking before going to bed to good night’s sleep as this may cause sleep disorders in the long term.

2. Diseases Related to Excessive Drinking

Habit of excessive drinking can cause diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer and other symptoms, including gastritis, pancreatitis, oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, malnutrition, obesity, and high blood pressure. Psychologically, it can cause sleep disorder, depression, amnesia, forgetfulness, illusion, and dementia. It can arise to social issues such as domestic violence, homelessness, unemployment and DUI.

3. Right Way of Drinking

Now, let’s look into the right way to drink moderately. Empty stomach before drinking can lead to stomach damage and faster absorption of alcohol. As such, it is important to drink liquor with ample healthy food. You should also drink slowly and keep drinking water during the drinking sessions as the water can dilute the alcohol. You should never drink with high-caffeine energy drinks.

1. Mixing Cream with Balm

If oil alone cannot resolve extremely dry skin, mix balm with the cream to enhance the moisturizing effect. Mix them in the ratio of 1:1 and apply the mixture gently all over the skin. Apply it on the elbows and ankles that are overly dry.

2. Oil Facial Pack

Drop four to five drops of oil on the cosmetic cotton soaked with skin toner, apply the cotton on the dry parts of the face for ten to 20 minutes and take it off. It will offer velvety and hydrated skin.

3. Applying on Scalp and Hair

The hair and scalp get very dry and sensitive in the winter due to cold winds. Apply an adequate amount of oil to protect them. It will not only nourish but also moisturize your scalp and hair.

4. Applying on Lips

Apply the oil mixed with either cream or balm on the lips. In the winter, it is sometimes tricky to apply lipstick on the dry lips because it may generate dead skin cells. Put a drop of oil on the lip brush before applying the lipstick with it to alleviate dry dead skin cells on the lips.

5. Mixing with BB Cream and Foundation

I believe a lot of people already know about this tip. Apply one drop of oil in the BB cream and foundation that you took out from the container. Put just a right amount of oil to balance between the moisturizing effect and the coverage effect of the cosmetics.

6. Applying on the Fingernails

Apply the oil thinly over the cracked fingernails or dry skin around them. It will nourish as well as protect the fingernails with hydrating shield.
