We’ve all been there; you’re primping for that annual holiday party, but your skin just won’t cooperate. It’s no secret that the cold winter weather can leave your complexion feeling dry, irritated and less than glowing. While a good moisturizer can go a long way, there are many lesser known measures to keep your skin looking and feeling its best all year long.
1. Stay hydrated
We’ve all heard it – but do you really know how many cups you’re getting each day? Try tracking with apps such as Daily Water which make it easy, even sending intermittent reminders straight to your mobile device.
2. Increase intake of healthy fats
Essential fatty acids play a critical role in creating and maintaining supple, hydrated skin, hair and nails. Opt for snacks like walnuts, avocados, and olives for an easy boost in your dietary intake of healthy fats.
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliation is a key element of any skincare regimen. Gently massage past that dead, flaky outer layer of skin. In turn, your moisturizer will be able to penetrate more deeply, rather than sitting at the skin’s surface.
4. Purchase a humidifier
Do you live in a dry or harsh climate? Incorporate a humidifier into your home for an easy way to add some moisture back into the atmosphere. (Read more about the benefits of a humidifier here.)
5. Avoid harsh cleansers
While clean skin is important, some cleansers can excessively strip away necessary natural moisture. Cleansers such as CLn Facial Cleanser keep moisture levels in check while removing the day’s makeup and build up of dirt and oil.
