It&#8217;s time to start taking care of your face for the cold season. Here are some products that will help you through the season and keep your face looking radiant.<\/p>\n<p>-Lip balm: The weather will dry out your lips much more than they are used to so be sure to use lots of lip balm. Carry it around with you everywhere as well.<\/p>\n<p>-Face wash: Using a gentle cleanser on your face will help to not strip away natural oils. It also can clean off any dirt that may have gotten onto your face in the day.<\/p>\n<p>-Body lotion: Applying body lotion right after you shower can keep the moisture locked into your skin and prevent it from drying out. Choosing a thick cream lotion over a thin one will work better.<\/p>\n<p>-Moisturizer: A good moisturizer that fits your skin type will help to keep dry patches from showing up on your face and keep it from feeling too tight from dryness.<\/p>\n<p>With the cold winter season coming up, it&#8217;s important to make sure that your face is prepared. We all know what the cold can do to our faces &#8211; dry skin and chapped lips just to name a few. To help you get ready for winter, I&#8217;ve compiled a list of five must-have products that will keep your face looking its best in the cold months ahead.<\/p>\n<p>1. Moisturizer: This is one item that you should use year-round, but it&#8217;s especially important in the winter when your skin can get very dry from being exposed to cold temperatures outside and indoor heating systems inside. A good moisturizer will keep your skin soft and hydrated so you don&#8217;t have to worry about it flaking or cracking from being too dry.<\/p>\n<p>2. Lip Balm: Chapped lips are a common problem during winter months because of dry air both indoors and out, so make sure you&#8217;re prepared by keeping some lip balm handy at all times!<\/p>\n<p>3. Sunscreen: Yes, even though it&#8217;s cold outside doesn&#8217;t mean UV rays aren&#8217;t still harmful to your skin; they just might not feel as warm on your face when there&#8217;s snow covering the ground instead of grass or sand beneath it (which would absorb some heat).<\/p>\n<p>Winter is the harshest season for your face. Sun damage and dryness can cause havoc on your skin, so it is important to take care of your face during the winter.<\/p>\n<p>Use a gentle cleanser: To start off, you should be using a gentle cleanser in the mornings and evenings. You should also be washing your face whenever you come home from outside to get rid of any germs that may have accumulated on your skin during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Apply moisturizer: Moisturizing your face is vital in order to maintain that natural, dewy glow. If you have oily skin, use an oil-free moisturizer, but if you have dry skin, use a moisturizer with SPF to prevent any sun damage.<\/p>\n<p>Apply sunscreen: According to Dr. Ariel Ostad, &#8220;You need to apply sunscreen when there is sun exposure whether it&#8217;s winter or summer.&#8221; When applying sunscreen, make sure to do so at least 15 minutes before going out into the cold so that it can penetrate and absorb into the skin properly.<\/p>\n<p>Combat Dryness: Try exfoliating twice a week to combat any dryness caused by the cold weather outside.<\/p>\n<p>During the winter, the weather can be incredibly harsh on your skin. The cold and dry air can strip away moisture and leave your skin flaky and irritated. One of the best ways to combat this is to use a lotion every day after you wash your face. Follow these steps to find a good lotion for you:<\/p>\n<p>1. Only use a lotion that has been dermatologist tested and approved. Many products might make false claims, so try to avoid those!<\/p>\n<p>2. Use a lotion that is thick and creamy when you apply it, but dries quickly once it is rubbed in, like our Mary Kay moisturizer.<\/p>\n<p>3. Try using a lotion with SPF if you can, especially if you are going to be outside all day.<\/p>\n<p>Winter can be a tough time for your skin. The cold, windy weather outside and the dry indoor heat can zap moisture from your skin. To help prevent dry, itchy skin and protect sensitive skin, dermatologists recommend following these tips:<\/p>\n<p>* Limit time in the bath or shower.<\/p>\n<p>* Apply moisturizer immediately after washing your hands or bathing to &#8220;seal in&#8221; moisture.<\/p>\n<p>* Use gentle cleansers and avoid those with alcohol, fragrance, or other harsh ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>* Wear gloves to protect your hands from detergents and other irritants. (You can also apply a protective cream before putting on your gloves.)<\/p>\n<p>* Wear an over-the-counter moisturizing lotion, cream or ointment to protect your hands and body throughout the day. Consider using a heavier ointment at night. Some good choices include petroleum jelly (Vaseline), cocoa butter and mineral oil.<\/p>\n<p>* If you have very dry or cracked skin on your hands, ask your dermatologist about prescription medications and other options.<\/p>\n<p>During the winter season, your skin is more prone to dryness. This is because the cold weather tends to strip away moisture from the skin. As a result, it becomes rough, flaky and chapped. To keep your face and skin looking great, you should exfoliate twice a week and moisturize immediately after washing your face. In addition, a humidifier can help you maintain moisture in the air of your home or office.<\/p>\n<p>Exfoliating is a necessity during the winter months. Sloughing off dead skin cells can help prevent clogged pores and breakouts while also making your complexion smoother and softer. You should exfoliate at least twice a week using gentle motions with either an exfoliating cleanser or a washcloth. Additionally, use warm water instead of hot water, which can actually irritate the skin more during this time of year.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping moisture in the skin is important for preventing dryness, which can lead to itching, redness and even infection if left untreated. After cleansing, be sure to apply a moisturizing lotion that contains ceramides to strengthen the skins barrier against dry air conditions as well as antioxidants like vitamin E or green tea extract to protect against free-radical damage caused by pollution and other environmental stressors<\/p>\n<p>You have to take good care of your skin to keep it looking healthy and fresh. The winter season is particularly harsh on the skin and you will need to adapt your skin care routine. In this blog post I will talk about the best things to do for your skin in winter.<\/p>\n<p>During the cold winter months moisturizing your skin is very important. It&#8217;s helpful to use a moisturizer with an SPF of 30 or higher, especially if you&#8217;re out during the day. Moisturizing will help prevent your skin from drying out or getting irritated by the cold air outside. You should also make sure that you drink enough water to keep your body hydrated throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>It can be difficult to get enough sleep when there&#8217;s so much going on during winter, but it&#8217;s important for your overall health and well-being. Try going to bed earlier each night and waking up later in order to get around eight hours of sleep per night.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to avoid alcohol in the evening if you&#8217;re trying not to gain weight over winter because it makes people feel hungrier than usual so they eat more food than they normally would otherwise do so. Avoiding alcohol at all costs can also help with avoiding hangovers which are terrible when you have work or school<iframe width=\"100%\"\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XTXCQc5KpZY?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is here and the temperature is dropping!
