Winterizing Your Skincare Routine Tips To Help Avoid Dry Skin

(Undated) -- Winterizing your skincare routine will help avoid getting that dry skin and those chapped lips this cold season. Cleveland Clinic Dermatologist, Jennifer Lucas, says a thick moisturizer during the winter months will help keep your skin nourished, along with products that contain ceramides to give back your body's natural moisture barrier. She also recommends a thick cream or something real greasy like petroleum jelly for nighttime. She also suggests buying a humidifier to deal with drier conditions when the heat is cranked up, and opting for warm rather than scorching hot showers when coming in from the cold. Drinking plenty of water and wearing suncreen are other ways to help keep skin hydrated during the winter time.
