From your face to your feet,
our winter survival guide will keep your skin in smooth, supple
shape all season long!
Save Face
Winter worry: Flaking and chapped cheeks with dry
patches, more visible lines around the eyes.
Why it happens: Since your face is always exposed to
the elements, it takes a cold-weather beating. Frosty winds chip
away at the outermost layer of skin that serves as our protective
barrier, leaving our faces vulnerable. This barrier's main function
is to regulate the water balance in the skin, and when it's compromised
by the environment or by aggressive cleansing, itchy skin results.
Skin saver: Wash with a gentle, creamy cleanser.
Even if your skin is typically oily, don't worry. During winter,
your skin can handle it. Try Therapy Systems Aromatic Cleaning
Lotion ($29.50), which is suitable for removing makeup, too;
Soothys Soothing Beauty Milk ($21); or Burt's Bees Orange Essence
Facial Cleaner ($9).
Lips and Hands
YOUR LIPS
Winter worry: Dryness
and chapping, redness, a stinging sensation.
