Temperature changes and the dry air of city apartments are the worst enemies of beautiful lips. Don't let a day go by without gentle care, and you'll make it through the winter without sacrificing!

1. Make sure that winter cleansing is as soft as possible. Remove makeup with a makeup-removing milk or micellar water, and remove dead cells 1-2 times a week with a delicate scrub.

2. Use lipstick and lip balms with natural oils– olive, castor, cocoa– and vitamin E. Be sure to protect your lips not only when outside, but also before going to bed.

All cells of the body are destroyed sooner or later, and new ones take their place. Dying cells emit substances that signal to other cells that it is time to split and fill the vacated space. Cell division begins with the assembly of protein molecules based on DNA code.

Areas of DNA with information about new protein molecules are called longevity genes. They are responsible for the synthesis of collagen fibres and intercellular gel – hyaluronic acid. To start the natural process of skin renewal, the cells need to be given the right signal and need help using natural resources.

Our skin’s surface is a permanent home for many bacteria. That’s a good thing, because these bacteria help the body resist infections and create the acid mantle – a barrier that protects against the external environment.

To preserve the skin’s natural ecosystem, the beneficial bacteria need help. That’s what prebiotics are for.

Prebiotics are substances that normalize the microflora. They serve as a nutritious substrate for beneficial bacteria and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Question: how do night creams work? Is it possible to enhance their action?

Expert’s answer: The main target of the cream that we use in the evening – to help skin get rid of toxins, provide it with nourishment and moisture, support and promote the skin’s natural renewal potential.

Why do I need special winter care? Can I just continue with my ordinary regime when it gets cold?

In winter (especially as we age), skin become much drier, and care needs to be much more nourishing. At this time of year, the protective properties of your day cream should be of more concern than moisturizing – choose textures that are thicker and richer.
