10 Cold Weather Skin Care Essentials
Check out these products and tips for keeping your skin healthy and moisturized during the colder months.
Fall has finally arrived — and while it might be the favorite season for some, its cooler temperatures can leave us with dry, cracked skin. Fortunately, there are a few simple things you can do to keep your skin healthy and protect it from the cold.
In the colder months, harsh soaps and skin care products are typically not a good idea. It's important to incorporate gentle cleansers, moisturizers and healing products into your skin care routine. Avoiding long, hot baths and showers, as well as adjusting the humidity levels in our homes with the help of a humidifier, can also promote healthier skin.
Looking for some recommendations when it comes to actual skin care products? We've got you covered. Here are 10 products that will help keep skin healthy through the fall and winter seasons.
