Feeling All Dried Up by Winter Weather?
By Lee Rector
The skin is the largest organ of the body that is often neglected. During the winter and cold months, the behavior of your skin reveals the characteristics of your skin type.
Remember, your skin profile changes seasonally with age and your environment. The best solution is to consult with a skin care specialist to recommend the right skin care products for healthy -looking skin, at every age.
Since the skin is usually always dry during this time of the year, here are some characteristics that you will find in dry skin:
- No oil in T-zone
- Cheeks are uncomfortable or slightly dry
- Dryness may be present around the eyes
- Your face may feel a bit taut in areas without a moisturizer
- Blemishes are rare to occasional
- Possible visible flakiness
The objective to the dryness would be a monthly hydrating seaweed facial; and for a daily routine to add moisture and comfort to the skin would be to use a milky cleanser, an alcohol-free toner, a hydrating moisturizer, boosters, hydrators and exfoliators to target and restore the ph balance of skin cells. Both of these recommendations would be the perfect solution to protect your skin from the cold winter months.
