As crazy as it sounds, the sun can be just as harsh to your skin as it is in the summer. Before leaving the house make sure to bundle up (scarf, gloves, hats) to avoid showing your skin to the cold air and put a layer of sunscreen on. Especially on your face.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exfoliate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Exfoliating your skin can help wash away dead skin cells, which are plentiful in the colder months. Dead skin cells can keep moisture from getting to your skin. This isn\u2019t supposed to be part of your daily skin routine because of how harsh it can be on your skin. Once or twice a week would be fine!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hydrate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t limit to only hydrating your skin, but also eating and drinking hydrating foods such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Watermelon<\/li>\n<li>Oranges<\/li>\n<li>Kiwi<\/li>\n<li>Tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Cucumber<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vitamins are also a good way to get hydration.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Omega 3<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin C<\/li>\n<li>Zinc<\/li>\n<li>Flaxseed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Change the temperature of water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using lukewarm water can help your skin hold in its natural oils more.

With these few tips, and many more on the internet, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing. You might have a good skin care routine for the summer, but just because it works for you then doesn\u2019t mean that it will work for you in the winter. Climates change and with that so does your skin. Do some research and find out what cleansers are good for your skin in the winter vs. the summer and get yourself a humidifier.
