Lately, there have been a lot of articles out there about how to keep skin protected from the winter winds. Recently, DailyGlow.com commented on some of the things that you should avoid doing to keep yourself from getting dry, cracked skin for Christmas.
First, try to avoid being around furnaces, fireplaces and woodstoves without a humidifier. While these things will keep you warm, they'll also suck moisture out of your skin.
Next, although a nice, long, bubble bath can be comfortable on a cold day, you might want to avoid them if you're concerned about dry skin.
"Extended exposure to too-hot water can strip skin’s natural oils, leading to - you guessed it - dry skin! So modify your routine by keeping bathing rituals to 15 minutes (max) and keeping water temps moderate," according to Daily Glow.
Oprah Magazine adds that you should avoid exfoliating in the winter, because it will make dry skin problems worse. Instead, use a moisturizing facial cleanser to get rid of dirt, oil and dead skin.
