Solve Your Winter Skin Problems -- Stat!Chapped lips and scaly dry skin are no match for these expert tips and hard-working products |
When the weather turns from sunny and mild to cold and blustery, our skin often turns too -- from supple and hydrated to cracked, flaky and ashy. We know that adding moisture-infused products to our skin will help hydrate it. We also know (and have heard a thousand times) that in the winter we usually need to switch from lighter moisturizers to more intensely hydrating ones, right? Right.
So why is it that the moisturizers we slather on don't always work? Are we using the wrong products? Is moisturizer alone not enough? And when our skin goes from simply feeling dry to looking alligator-like, what do we do then?
These are questions we hear often, which is why we decided to sit down with Arielle N.B. Kauvar, M.D., director of New York Laser & Skin Care and Liz Earle, natural skin care expert. Here, they address some of your most pressing winter skin problems. They share solutions on everything from crusty lips to painfully cracked skin. Best of all, they share the key ingredients we should look for in our skin care moisturizers so we don't waste another precious dollar on products that don't work. Pretty nice, huh?

It never gets to cold where I live so my routine doesn't have to change.

I'm sorry but there's no way I'm avoiding my hot winter baths. Honestly I would die without them. Plus I feel 100 times better after taking a bath and putting on lotion. That's my winter routine and I'm sticking to it.

I'm surprised L'Occitane Shea Hand Cream isn't mentioned here. It is rich in vitamin E and shea butter is incredibly moisturizing.
