No matter what skin concerns you have, the winter season can make them appear worse:

If you are concerned about:

Lines, wrinkles rough or loss of firmness - the dry indoor heat dehydrates your skin, making it lose suppleness and elasticity.

Sensitive
skin - the dry indoor heat strips your skin of it's natural barrier
protection making you more vulnerable to itching and redness.

Acne,
large pores or rough texture - in the winter, your skin's natural
exfoliation cycle slows down leading to clogged pores and breakouts.

Uneven
skin tone or discolorations - in the winter, your skin is exposed to
intense sun due to the glare from the snow which can darken the look of
spots and discolorations.

Here are 6 Essential Winter Skin Care Tips:

1) Moisturize daily.  Apply up to 2-3 times a day as needed.

2) Exfoliate at least once a week.  Be gentle especially if you have sensitive skin.

3)
Keep showers short and warm.  Long, hot showers strip the natural oils
from you skin.  You should spend no more than 10 minutes in the shower.

4) Wear sunscreen.  Apply SPF 15 sunscreen everyday.

5)
Consider using a humidifier in your home.  Indoor heaters can can
reduce the humidity to as 10 percent.  To counter this, place a
humidifier in the room which you spend the most time.

6) Stay hydrated.  Drinking adequate amounts of water benefits your overall health and helps hydrate your skin from within.
