Save Your Skin from the Winter Cold

The air has finally turned chilly here in the South. The mercury has started to fall now that December has arrived. Along with the cooler temperatures comes drier air. This can mean itchy, flaky, dry skin. As the seasons change, your skin routine should change with it. We have our top 3 skin survival tips for winter.

Top 3 Skin Survival Tips

1. Exfoliate! – Dry and flaky skin often come with the drop in humidity, but one of the best ways to combat dry skin is through exfoliation. Putting makeup and moisturizer on top of dry, cracked skin can clog pores and be a waste of product. Everyone’s exfoliation needs will vary, but starting with a gentle daily exfoliator with an exfoliation treatment twice a week is a great place to start.
2. SPF – Just because those warm summer rays have vanished, doesn’t mean your spf should too. Harmful UV rays are present all year round. If you are prone to forget or want to simplify your routine, look for products that multi-task. There are many lotions and makeup that have spf, try those and your future self will thank you.
3. Moisturizer – If you have a moisturizer that is a go to product for you and you can’t live without, try using it in the morning and a heavier one at night. Many skin care lines have moisturizers with different intensities. This time of year can also be a great time to pamper yourself. Try an intensive moisture treatment once a week to help melt away holiday stress. Consult your beauty professional about other moisturizing options that will work best for your skin.
