5 Ways to Safeguard Your Skin This Winter
Harsh winter weather doesn't have to wear on your skin. Try these handy hydrating tips from Costco.com for a complexion that glows, even when the forecast is gloomy.
1. Moisturize the skin you're in
Central heating can result in dry, cracked skin. To combat it, apply body lotion immediately after showering to seal in moisture, using an oil-based ointment (often a night cream) sparingly on your face.
2. Defend your skin against sun damage
Sunblock isn't a summer-only necessity – winter days may be shorter, but the sun is still mighty. Use sunscreen daily; the glare from snow can amplify the sun's rays.
3. Help raise the humidity
Chapped lips and temperamental skin are common cold-weather conditions. In addition to your daily regimen, add moisture to the air by placing a humidifier in your home or office.
4. Manage conditions with a mask
Skin care is self care, especially during the winter. Say "hello again" to healthy, radiant skin with a nightly hydrating mask.
5. Let there be light
Promote cell growth with infrared light. Light therapy brightens the complexion while aiding the absorption of skin care products.
