WINTERIZING YOUR SKINCARE REGIMEN!

Winter weather can cause all kinds of damage on your skin. It can cause dry, chapped, flaky skin both on your face and body. A skin-care regimen that worked during the warm, humid temperatures may not yield the same result in the cold of winter. In order to maintain healthy skin in lower humidity levels, its best to winterize your skin care routine. A couple of tips to do this!

Protect Your Skin
Keep your skin covered as much as possible when outdoors to retain some moisture in your skin. Wear hats, gloves, scarves....

Switch Cleansers
You may need to consider switching from your regular facial cleanser. It may be too harsh for the cold drying air. Consider switching to a gentle non-soap skin cleanser and cut back on exfoliating .

Moisturize Your Skin
Hydration is essential to keeping your skin healthy, especially in winter weather. For your face make sure to apply a good moisturizer after cleansing the skin. You may even opt to add a serum containing hyaluronic acid this will help seal in the moisture prior to applying your regular moisturizer. Don't neglect the rest of your body. Don't skimp on a good moisturizer or lotion for the body as well.

Sunscreen
the sun also rises in winter and winter sun can be just as damaging as in the summer. Make sure to apply suncreen and to use products that contain sunscreen to protect your skin from the damaging sun even in the winter.

Don’t forget your lips!
Make sure to look for a moisturizing balm that contains sunscreen. there is nothing worse than dry cracked, chapped lips.
