Are There Natural Ways to Keep My Skin Healthy?

More Health Info & Answers

A: A combination of frigid temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating can leave your skin dry during the cold winter months. Take care of your skin with these simple techniques.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
Moisturizer will fill in gaps and cracks, restoring elasticity and giving your skin a smooth, supple appearance. Look for helpful ingredients such as glycerin, petrolatum, lanolin, wheat germ oil, jojoba, mineral oil, or safflower seed oil.

Don’t forget the sunscreen
Remember, the winter sun can give you a sunburn—especially if you’re out on the bright ski slopes. Lather on a moisturizer with SPF 30.

Wash wisely
Water strips the oil from your skin, so wash sparingly during the winter months. Use mild soap-free cleansers, wash your face only at night with a warm water wash and a cool rinse, get in and out of the shower as quickly as possible, and apply moisturizer within three minutes of washing to seal in moisture.
