Cold weather calls for chilly moisturizer


Rx for Borwn Skin for African American skin care products

Ladies, you know that winter can be the most difficult time to take care of your complexion, even if you've found that perfect African American skin care product. Recently, Inside Toronto spoke to dermatologist Vince Bertucci who had some interesting tips for how to keep looking flawless during these chilly months. 


First, the skin care expert suggesting chilling your moisturizer before you use it. Moisturizer is particularly important in the winter, when your skin is most likely to dry out, and keeping it cold can help reduce the appearance of puffy eyes while providing a soothing effect on the skin.


Nest, Bertucci made a suggestion for the best time to apply that moisturizer.


"Water can weaken and impair the skin's protective barrier function, so it's important to moisturize immediately following a bath or use a lotion after hand washing to guard against dryness and irritation," he said, quoted by the news source.


WebMD reminds people who are concerned about the health of their skin in the winter to avoid wearing wet socks or gloves. These can cause itching or even a flare-up of eczema.
