Most get dry skin as winter approaches.\u00a0 But for those with more sensitive skin \u2013 redness, irritation and even breakouts come with it.\u00a0 I fall into this category and just stocked up on my winter skin care essentials.<\/p>\n
The first thing we tend to pick up when combating dryness is a thicker moisturizer.\u00a0 While this is the obvious choice, and a vital part of cold weather skin care, we need to take a look at our overall routine.\u00a0 What type of product are you using to cleanse your face?\u00a0 When skin is dry and irritated go with a cleanser that is mild and soothing, like Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion<\/a>.\u00a0 And, unless you really need to, skip cleansing in the morning and either use warm water or a mild toner instead.<\/p>\n Now for that moisturizer.\u00a0 I swear by Weleda Almond Intensive Facial Cream <\/a>for the chilly season.\u00a0 This rich, soothing cream not only deeply moisturizes skin but nourishes and protects from harsh weather.\u00a0 If it is a bit thick for your daytime needs, try using it at night and substituting Weleda Calendula Facial Cream<\/a> for day.\u00a0<\/p>\n Exfoliation is important in keeping skin feeling good and looking great year round.\u00a0 Just be sure not to over do it and never exfoliate irritated skin.\u00a0 Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream <\/a>contains sweet almond meal to gently slough away dry, dead skin cells without stripping away moisture.\u00a0 Use twice weekly.<\/p>\n Brewed green tea makes a perfect toner this time of year.\u00a0 Pour a glass over ice, use a bit on a cotton pad on face and eyes and drink the rest.\u00a0 Soothing and refreshing without being at all harsh.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lots of filtered water is always essential for happy hydrated skin.\u00a0 And adding flaxseed oil to your diet also helps to combat dryness.\u00a0<\/p>\n When skin is upset the best rule of thumb is: Less is More.\u00a0 Add a few nurturing products to your regimen, be careful not to over-cleanse and (try to) get lots of rest and eat a healthy diet.\u00a0 Your skin will thank you.<\/p>\n Image:\u00a0 by squacco at Flickr.com, Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most get dry skin as winter approaches.\u00a0 But for those with more sensitive skin \u2013 redness, irritation and even breakouts come with it.\u00a0 I fall into this category and just stocked up on my winter skin care essentials.
