Even if you're using the best African American skin care products on the market, winter winds can find a way to leave you with a cracked, dry complexion if you're not doing all you can to protect against the chill. Recently, skin care experts from The Peer Group, a collection of cosmetic and plastic surgeons based in New Jersey, offered some tips for staying moisturized during the cold season.
First, the doctors recommended drinking plenty of water. Doing so has been shown to keep your skin hydrated, and so the physicians suggested making a habit out of having water with you during very meal, especially if you're drinking dehydrating beverages, such as coffee or alcohol.
Next, the experts suggested getting rid of dead skin with gentle exfoliation.
"You can find a good product for this at local drug and grocery stores, but be sure to avoid rough, granular scrubs for the face and body," said the physicians.
Finally, the doctors said that you should avoid hot showers, which take moisture away from the skin. Instead, they recommended taking a warm soak in a tub with some oatmeal to soften skin.
