VOL. 12, DEC 2002 : Winter Weather Skin Tips

★  Keep your lips smooth and healthy!

1. Obtain a Chap Stick that is wax or silicone based, and use it often.

2. Don’t forget to use the Chap Stick before you apply lipstick.

3. When you use a face scrub, do not forget to wash your lips as well.

4. Apply Vitamin E oil capsule (open the capsule with scissors) as soon as you come out from the shower or bath (when your skin is maximally hydrated) so that it will penetrate your skin better.

5. Apply a thick layer of SHIZUKA new york’s silicon based Cemistri, or Vaseline before you go to bed.

★  Caring for your fingers, cuticles and heels!

1. Apply Vitamin E Oil (open the capsule with scissors) to your fingers and heels after taking a shower or bath.

2. Apply Cemistri (SHIZUKA new york) or Vaseline to your hands and heels when you watch TV or go to bed. For best results, wear cotton gloves and socks to increase the effectiveness of the moisturizer.

3. Try to avoid using anti-bacterial soap when you wash your hands. These products are generally too strong for the skin.

4. Apply a comfortable, non-sticky and effective hand lotion that you can use frequently during the day, especially after your hands have been in water.

5. Try to avoid using hot water when you wash your hands and body. Use lukewarm water instead.

6. When you wash dishes, use plastic gloves to avoid touching water and detergent. A sponge with a handle, is also useful for additional protection.

7. Have a professional manicure and pedicure to remove excess cuticles and calluses.

For sensitive and dry skin, trigger factors to avoid

1. Sudden changes in temperature or humidity.

2. Cosmetics containing lanolin, mineral oil, S.D, alcohol, artificial fragrances or D&C colors.

3. Constant stress or hormonal imbalance.

4. Environmental pollution, including ozone exposure.

5. Unprotected sun exposure.

6. Over-processed food with synthetic ingredients.

7. Reduction in the Stratum Corneum from harsh cleansers or excess, exfoliation.

8. Internal and external dehydration.

Extra tips for dry skin

1. Apply hydrating masks once or twice a week.

2. Change your basic skin care products from summer to winter.

3. Try an oil mask in addition to bath oil when bathing to heal dry skin or just for relaxation. Do not apply the mask on oily or acne prone skin.

4. Apply eye cream or jel morning and night.

5. Too much scrubbing can make your skin sensitive, especially if it had been treated with chemical or laser peels.

6. Do not use harsh soap when you take a shower or bath. Antibacterial soap is generally not necessary unless one has body odor.

7. A hot shower or bath can feel great, but it also can remove natural body oils. Adding bath oil to the water will help keep your skin well hydrated.

8. It is best to apply moisturizers to damped skin. After a shower or bath lightly towel dry and immediately apply your skin care products.
