Hydrating the skin in the winter takes more effort, but it can be done! Here are some skincare tips to help your skin offer that dewy glow even when the temperatures are sub-zero outside.
Thicker Moisturizer
Think of your moisturizer as a coat for your skin. You want to ensure that you use a moisturizer that is a bit thicker and more hydrating than your summer beauty regimen. This is a hydration must-have. This applies to your body moisturizers as well as face care moisturizers. Reach for shea butter or moisturizer with glycerin to help protect your skin against the brittle cold air.
Exfoliate
Using an exfoliator will help reduce the chance of that flaky skin you want to steer clear of. This will help freshen up the skin, plump, and hydrate while moisturizing your skin. Consider this like a spa night at home!

Humidifier
Embrace the use of a humidifier in your home or even office. Allowing more humidity in the air will help combat dry air. Adding humidity to the air is a must for your home, and it is also excellent for your sinuses during the winter months.
Cooler Showers
I love a hot, steamy shower, but it can sabotage your skin. Too hot water can strip away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and flaky. Aim for cooler showers that are short and sweet. Then, moisturize your skin directly after hopping out.
Sunscreen
Putting on sunscreen every day is essential all year round. With the harsh winds, snow, and other winter elements, you need sunscreen to help protect your skin just as you would in other seasons. Apply it to your arms, hands, face, and the rest of your body.
Lip Balm
Chapped lips are very common in the winter months. They are almost like the mascot of winter, which screams frigid air. Don’t let those lips be anything but soft and kissable. Grab a hydrating lip balm that will help create a protective layer over your lips. Aim for shea butter, beeswax, or even hyaluronic acid.
Hydrate
Water is your best friend, which might not surprise you. Staying hydrated and ensuring you get your water intake in is a must. Doing so allows the cells in your skin to function at their best, and that alone will help leave your skin feeling hydrated.

Vitamins
Vitamin E is a fantastic vitamin to add to your daily regimen. This can help repair your skin and help you have healthy-looking skin for the winter months. Vitamin A is another great one. You will want to consult with your doctor to ensure that adding these to your daily vitamin regimen is a good option.
Vaseline
Vaseline or petroleum can be applied to cuticles to hydrate dry skin, etc. Also, applying it to your hands and feet before bed can help with any cracked skin issue you might be struggling with. You can even apply it to your lips.
Softer Body Washes
Skip the harsh scrubs and scented soaps that can cause irritated and dry skin. You will also find those types of products can also flare up eczema. Reach for unscented soaps, and use a gentle body wash on the skin.

Hair Care – Wrap Hair
Are you craving shiny, stunning hair all year round? Do not rub your hair with your towel when you get out of the shower. That can cause breakage. Wrap your hair in an absorbent towel and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Then, if you prefer, use low heat to dry your hair or air dry.
Serum
The superhero serum is your skincare weapon to combat the winter blues! Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or even a serum with vitamin C will help brighten, protect, and keep that skin protected like a layer over your skin. You will want to use this along with your favorite moisturizer.
