Let’s talk about skin! The skin is the largest organ on your body. Not only does it act as a protective barrier, it keeps vital nutrients in your body. Sometimes it might become difficult to effectively lock moisture your skin, especially when in cold weather. According to the Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Institute, the low humidity and cold weather can be drying. Sometimes it might seem like you just can’t get your skin to love your skincare routine.

There are several reasons why you are getting that dry winter skin. For starters, you could be moisturizing at the WRONG time! Yup, it is recommended to apply your moisturizer right after you shower while your skin is still damp as it is “significantly better” according to New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Joshua Zeichner.

Another reason could be the fact that you are taking long, hot showers that can strip your skin of important oils. So try sticking to short and warm showers.

When it comes to soap, be mindful of harsh soaps that contain sulfates and added fragrances that can be drying and irritating. One more thing to consider, your skin can be dry due to pre-existing skin condition like psoriasis.

But, guess what? I know some great products that can help you control your dry winter skin.
