Winter Skin, keep it real this winter
It may come across a bit cliché to say that your wardrobe isn’t the only thing you should be switching come winter—but hey, that doesn’t make it any less true. Those lightweight gel moisturizers and charcoal cleansers that worked just fine in September might not cut it come December. As colder temperatures approach, dry air, frigid winds, and constant exposure to indoor heaters suck the moisture from your skin and strip it of oils essential for healthy skin barrier function. These elemental conditions can also spark skin sensitivity, redness, and irritation. Bottom line: A regimen shakeup is due.
