Warnings
about skin protection abound in summer, but it's important
to maintain proper skin care in winter, too. Dry, itchy skin is common in these
months, so it's necessary to moisturize. This is a perfect time to take
advantage of sunless tanning products for that ski slope glow!
The
American Academy of Dermatology recommends you:
~
Apply moisturizers within 3 minutes of getting out of the bath
or shower.
~
Wear and reapply a sunscreen with an SPF of 15
or higher to combat the damaging rays of the
sun, usually reflected by snow.
~
Use a lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher
to prevent chapped lips.
~
Use a humidifier to keep the humidity in
your house higher in winter months.
~
After washing hands, immediately apply
hand cream to seal in moisture. |
