Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated from the inside out can help your skin stay moisturized.
Indoor heating can dry out the air in your home. Using a humidifier adds moisture back into the air, which can prevent your skin from drying out.
Long, hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for shorter, lukewarm showers instead.
Use a thicker, cream-based moisturizer in the winter. Look for moisturizers with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or glycerin.
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, allowing your moisturizer to penetrate better.
When going outside, especially in windy or snowy weather, cover your skin with scarves, hats, and gloves.
Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on exposed skin, especially your face, before going outside.
Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils.
