SKINCARE
By Emily Heath
As cool breezes and sunshine turn to bone-chilling winds
and frost, don’t let your skin fall victim to the transitional
slump. While it’s easy to blame our dry skin woes on the
frigid temperatures, it’s not just the weather that’s got
our skin all out of whack. Low humidity levels inside and
outside draw moisture from our skin, leaving it flaky, dry
and sensitive. Hot showers, the only saving grace during
icy winter mornings, can also cause major problems — the
extended exposure to water actually washes away skin’s
natural protective oils. Pro tip: If your skin feels tight
after a hot shower, you’ve been in too long. Then finally,
some of our favorite warm-weather products can be totally
damaging come wintertime. What were once our go-to
soaps and light moisturizers become our skin’s worst enemy
once the temperature drops.
Not to worry, though; we’ve got plenty of tips and tricks
to help you keep your skin healthy and glowing once winter
rolls around.

DRINK WATER: Stay hydrated. It
will keep your skin elastic and healthy
and serves as your first defense against
cold weather.
CLEANSE: Cleanse your skin with
a simple, non-irritating face wash
such as Cetaphil, Cerave or First Aid
Beauty’s Face Cleanser. Use lukewarm
water and don’t wash your skin more
than twice a day to avoid stripping its
natural protective oils.
