TIPS FOR SKIN GLOWING ALL WINTER LONG

WINTER WEATHER

IT'S HARD ON THE SKIN Winter is coming, which means it's time for holiday vacations and family get-togethers. Unfortunately, for many, it also means that they're about to be hit with dry, flaky skin.

WHY IS WINTER SO HARD ON THE SKIN? There are a few reasons that explain why colder weather is so harsh on the skin, but the two most important are:

• Low humidity – When the temperature drops, the cold pulls moisture out of the air. That means that cold air is dryer and provides less moisture than warmer weather.

• Dehydration – The air isn't the only thing to blame for bad winter skin. During warmer seasons like spring and summer, you're more likely to drink large amounts of water, which keeps the body and skin hydrated. Many people drink less water during winter, which causes them to become dehydrated and their skin to dry out.

HOW TO BEAT WINTER SKIN Luckily, there are several steps that you can take to beat the winter weather and keep your skin healthy and glowing into spring. By sticking with the following steps, you can counteract low humidity and dehydration.

GET A HUMIDIFIER Since one of the main causes of dry winter skin is low humidity, using a humidifier will do a lot to improve your skin’s health. Run a humidifier in your bedroom at night, and the air inside your home will stay moist and skin-friendly.

HYDRATE The second big step you can take to maintain healthy skin is to stay properly hydrated. Many people forget to drink the proper 6-8 cups of water a day during the winter. Those who forget are more likely to have dry, flaky skin. Drink lots of water, and also eat plenty of hydrating fruits like apples, grapes, and oranges, as well as leafy green vegetables.

REDUCE SHOWER TIME There's nothing quite like a long, hot shower or bath after getting out of the harsh winter cold. Unfortunately, all that hot water is stripping the protective oils and lipids from your skin, leaving it more vulnerable to the cold and dry air. By reducing the water temperature and the length of time you spend bathing, you will be protecting your skin.

EXFOLIATE All the skin care in the world can't eliminate every crack and flake. Maintaining healthy, glowing skin means removing the top dead layers once or twice a week. Using a dry body brush will remove dead skin cells, keep pores from being clogged, and improve circulation, all of which improve your skin’s condition.

USE MOISTURIZERS AND SKIN CARE PRODUCTS To get the best-looking winter skin possible, you need to use moisturizers, lotions, acne treatments, and other skin care products.
