Respect What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You
"When your skin is dry, you have to respect what your skin is trying to tell you," says Dr. John Paul Tutela, a celebrity and board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City and New Jersey. You will want to decrease the use of some of the more aggressive skin care products like acid cleansers and retinol, he adds.

Remember, a Good Skin Care Regimen Is Unique to You
"In my opinion, good skin care is a combination of something that agrees with my patient, her needs and her lifestyle," says facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman, MD. It's important to change up one's skin care routine with the seasons and to challenge the skin regularly, she says.

Exfoliate With Caution
"It's tough for your winter skin to transition from the dry indoor environment to the outdoors as ambient humidity increases," says licensed dermatologist Dr. Jessie Cheung of Cheung Aesthetics and Wellness. Exfoliation with a gentle scrub or glycolic acid wash will help to peel off the dead skin cells that have built up during the dry winter season, she says.

Be Aware of Any Skin Changes
"You may notice flares with acne, rosacea or dandruff as the seasons change," Cheung says. See your dermatologist if your skin doesn't calm down.
