Chapped, Irritated, Rashes Oh My! Do you suffer?

Winter brings dry, cold air that makes it hard for your skin to stay hydrated. Even someone with the oiliest skin can find their hands painfully chapped from washing, heels can crack and your lips can be chapped.

Others that already suffer from dry skin will find they need even more moisture and without enough skin hydration they’re left with itchy, flaky skin and can even develop chapped skin & lips – so bad that painful skin cracking can occur.

If you have sensitive skin you’ll notice you have to be even more cautious in the winter with what you apply on your skin. One cold can send your chapped lips and nose into a firey-red anger while your eczema flare ups cause extra issues.

All of these situations are common problems we face during the dry winter months. We’re going to look at how you can avoid the dry moody skin and how to help calm and soothe your skin during the driest months of the year.

Be Proactive

A girls best friend when it comes to winter skin problems is being prepared and taking action before it gets bad. Have a variety of hydrating products on hand for your skin and face so you can be ready to tackle whatever winter throws your way.

When in doubt, over hydrate instead of leaving your skin parched.

As the weather changes, start changing your skin regiment. Slowly increase your product hydration to prepare for the most common skin issues you have during the winter.

Always be consistent with your hydration. Apply your face lotions, hand & body creams and lip balm DAILY. This will nourish, hydrate and protect your skin before the harsh weather comes. If you can prevent chapped, irritated or cracked skin the battle will be easier!
