Cold weather and heat will dry and damage the outer barrier of your skin. The way we can prevent this is to “winter-proof” it by sealing in the moisture that those layers need to stay healthy. Here are some winter skin care tips you can use to keep your skin hydrated and protected.
- Lower the thermostat
- Avoid hot showers or baths
- Drink more WATER
- Do not slack off on the sunscreen
Here’s how to get the most out of your winter skin care regimen.
