Tips for your skin:
With winter on its way, your skin is going to go through some changes. Heaters and harsh winter winds are going to shrink the pores on your skin causing it to be dry, flaky and more sensitive. To prevent this you need to balance the PH level of the skin. Two ways of doing this are:
Internally: drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day and keeping away from pop, coffee, and alcohol.
Externally: topically hydrating the skin with masks, creams and serums.
If you are a normal to combination skin type, a good way to change your skin care routine for winter would be to change your regular day cream for a thicker, more nourishing one and using a hydrating face mask once a week.
If you are already a dry skin type, try adding a night cream or mix in a hydrating serum into your day cream or mask for an extra boost. Also, remember that when your skin is dry it builds up on the epidermis (top layer of the skin) causing it to flake, peel, and appear dull. Exfoliating once a week will remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin softer and brighter while allowing your creams, masks and serums to penetrate the skin easily.
