Dr. Edward Miranda, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, tells his patients how to combat dry winter skin: “Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Look for products formulated with natural antioxidants, peptides and natural amino acids to hydrate, nourish and illuminate the skin when exposed to cold winter weather.” By using any of the lip care products or body moisturizers below, your skin will be able to take on the bitter cold in no time.
Screen Your Lips
“A must is a moisturizer that also contains a sunscreen as the temperatures will start rising,” says Dr. Howard Sobel, Director of the New York Institute of Aesthetic Dermatology and Laser Surgery. Products like Mario Badescu’s Skin Care Lip Wax and Fresh’s Petal Tinted Lip Treatment moisturize, protect and smoothe your lips from all types of harsh weather and even add a little pop of color to your lips. To immediately relieve dryness and soothe your chapped lips, try Aquaphor Lip Repair. It works fast in order to heal your lips back to health.
Full Body Protection
It’s almost that time to hit the beach again but until then we have to survive the harsh, cold March weather. Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, leading plastic surgeon and founder of RéVive Skincare, says “Colder temperatures actually shunt blood away from the skin, causing blood vessels in the skin to constrict which decreases blood flow. This is your body’s way of keeping its temperature up and heating itself. As a result, the sebaceous glands (the organs that make oil and sweat) aren’t working as much because there is less blood flow going to them, so your skin won’t secrete as much oil. This is why you need more moisturization in the winter; it’s not that the air is dry, it’s that your body is conserving heat.”
Eucerin’s Daily Protection Moisturizing Face Lotion and Body Lotion should do the trick in solving your dry skin problems. You can even replenish the moisture lost from skin by using Ponds’ Luminous Moisture Day Lotion. If your worried that this unpredictable weather will be another factor in your aging process, then try Olay Age Defying Sensitive Skin Day Lotion. You can balance and smooth your skin with these long lasting products.
