Baby, It's Cold Outside - Winter Skin Care

Are you feeling the chill of winter? I'll bet your skin is feeling it too. Dry winter air can also mean dry skin.

 

Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean our skin has to suffer. Here are 5 tips to help your skin continue to look and feel soft, healthy and have that rosy glow - and not from the cold.

1. Use a Humidifier - This helps to add much needed moisture to the air.
2. Drink Water - Keeping your body hydrated is not just good for your insides, it's also good for your skin.
3. Skip the Hot Shower - instead go for lukewarm. Long hot showers can dry out your skin.
4. Moisturize - ASAP - lather on the lotion right after your shower or bath to lock in that moisture.
5. Don't Forget the Sunscreen - Winter sun - yes it's still there, can be just as damaging to your skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Older skin tends to be thinner and drier. For even more tips on caring for aging skin during the winter, follow this link to AgingSkinNet. Be sure to come back and tell us what you think.
