Changing weather means change in daily skin care routine. No matter what is the type of skin, every skin type requires intimate care with change in weather.
It takes time for skin to adapt the particular temperature.
By the time skin becomes adapted to a type of temperature; change in temperature occurs and makes one to change the daily routine of skin care. Winter is a season that requires very deep skin care.
Skin is required to be moisturized daily and exfoliated frequently in this season. Following are the tips and guidelines that can be followed for the extensive skin care in winter:
* Begin the day with a hot bathe, but switch for ten to fifteen seconds to cold shower. Now again switch on hot shower. Repeat the procedure for about two minutes. This technique is known as hydrotherapy. This therapy revitalizes the skin by exciting the active blood flow throughout the body. It is highly favorable therapy for all types of skin in winter.
* After coming out of the shower, use a nice moisturizer to moisturize the entire body. Apply the moisturizer by gently massaging it on the skin. Massage until the moisturizer is completely observed in the skin. Select a moisturizer that contains zinc oxide and sun protection formulae. Skin requires sun protection in every season.
* Winter is a season when dead and dry skin gets accumulated very fast; one is required to exfoliate the entire body at least twice a week. Exfoliation will allow the skin to soak up more moisture and remain moisturized for a long time. There is no production of oil from oil glands of skin in winter. This is because of the low outer temperature and central heating. In this condition, there is more loss of water from the skin. This might result in premature wrinkled skin. All these conditions can be avoided by skin exfoliation.
* One should drink at least eight glass of water to overcome the water loss from the skin. One can drink warm water with lemon. This is a Chinese herbal therapy, which is considered as absolutely safe method to give an energy boost up to the whole body. The warm lemon water work as detoxifier and detoxifies the entire body system. This therapy enhances the process of blood cleaning and reduces the amount of toxins which are responsible for making the skin dry and chapped.
* Last but not the least is to take at least eight hours sleep at night. This is when the damaged part of skin is healed. One must take enough sleep to get the healthy and glowing skin everyday.

Tips for Healthy Skin
* You should wash your face as many times as you can.
* You should avoid eating fried and cheesy food.
* Rub your face with ice-cubes and you can also try ice water mixed with lime juice and wash the face with this mixture.
Ordinary washing of the face does not remove grease, dust, perspiration, dirt, stale make up and bacteria from the skin which cleansing do. Cleansing creams goes deeper into the pores and wash them thoroughly. Always apply a cleansing cream on cheeks, chin, neck and forehead. It should be done two times a day once in the morning and one before going to bed.
The steaming is done to open the pores. It has the benefits of face scrubs, masks and creams. Take a broad pot and fill it with water, lower your face over the pot, covering your head and pot, so that the steam is directed onto the face. Then dry your face with a dry towel. Steaming should be done once in a week. Apply a moisturizer, and massage the face and neck. Then steam your face. Take a cotton ball and gently wipe your face. This will help to clear off the dead cells and increase the blood circulation.
An astringent helps to stop bleeding and reduce the body secretions as they cause blood vessels and tissues to contract. Shave lotions, cologne and cleansing creams are made from astringents only. As they are antiseptic they are helpful in treating acne. After steaming the face, wipe your face and neck with astringents. They are used to make after shave lotions, cologne and other skin preparations like cleansing creams.
You should tone your skin for youthful and rejuvenated feel because due to age and other things like weather, pollution and other harmful things in atmosphere, the face and other body parts starts sagging and start showing wrinkles.
Dry skin and wrinkles appear on face as the epidermal cells gradually lose their capacity to produce new cells while the dermis that produces collagen loses its elasticity. Toners are used to clean the oil from the skin. They may cause skin feel tighter because of skin irritation. The skin is freshened by skin toning lotions. They help to increase the blood supply to the skin
The main function of moisturizer is to prevent loss of moisturizer and dehydration of the skin. It also helps speed up the process of cell renewal. It must have the ingredients that supply vitamins, minerals to the skin. There are creams that boost the natural waterproofing barrier of the skin and soothe the skin by its natural surface oils.
For the cleaning process of skin care free packs or masks are essential. They help to stimulate the blood circulation, tone the muscle and maintain the elasticity of the skin. They eliminate the dirt and grime from the pores in the skin.
Sun and Skin
We all know we need to protect our skin from the sun's harmful rays. Of course, it's impossible to avoid the sun — who wants to hide indoors when it feels so great to get outside and be active? And the sun's not all bad, anyway: Sunlight helps our bodies create vitamin D. So follow these tips when you're outdoors to help manage sun exposure:
* Wear sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, even if it's cloudy or you don't plan on spending a lot of time outdoors. If you sweat a lot or go swimming, reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours (even if the bottle says the sunscreen is waterproof).
* Choose a sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Look for the words "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection in addition to the SPF of 15 or greater. Select a sunscreen that says "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" on the label to help keep pores clear.
* The sun's rays are strongest between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, so make sure you reapply sunscreen frequently and take breaks indoors if you can. If your shadow is longer than you are tall, then it's a safer time to be in the sun (you should still wear sunscreen, though).
* Apply more sunscreen (with higher SPF) when you're around reflective surfaces like water, snow, or ice.
* We all know that the sun can damage skin, but did you know it can contribute to eye problems, too? Protect your face and eyes with a hat and sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.
* Some medications, such as prescription acne medications or birth control pills, can increase your sensitivity to the sun, so if you're taking medication, increase your sun protection.
* If you want the glow of a tan, try faking it with self-tanners or salon tanning treatments. Avoid tanning beds, though, because although manufacturers claim that tanning beds are free of UVB rays, they still use harmful UVA rays.
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive Skin- is skin that is reacting to some stimuli such as UV radiation, pollution, chemical irritants or allergens (i.e. soaps, detergents, formaldehyde-donning preservatives or even fabric softeners). Any skin type can experience this reaction. In fact, 50-60% of the population consider themselves to have sensitive skin. Several ingredients in the Bello Essentials Product Line—Beta Glucan and the green seaweed Porphyra (more commonly known as Nori)—reduce the tightening, stinging, itching and redness of sensitive skin.
Oily Skin
Oily Skin- has over-stimulated sebaceous glands that produce too much oil. This condition often becomes more severe as the skin becomes over-cleansed, thus stimulating oil glands to deposit extra waxes to protect the skin’s surface from future harsh detergents and alcohols. Over-cleansing transmits the wrong message to the glands, which continue making more oil and making the skin have a shiny appearance. Pores are enlarged and visible, particularly in the T-zone. Generally there are blemishes around the nose and chin, between the eyebrows and on the forehead. Bello Skin Care Essentials helps to balance oily skin by eliminating this destructive cycle.
