Livingly – Winter Beauty Tips

Winter Beauty Tips

1.  Add Some Lotion To Your Shower Caddy  – “To up your moisturizer effectiveness, apply it to damp skin rather than towel-dried skin,” says Dermatologist and contributor to online community RealSelf, Dr. Joel Schlessinger. “This will help keep moisture from evaporating at the skin’s surface, and lock it in long-term.”
2. Try Not To Shower In Hot Water Frequently – “As the weather starts to change, and the humidity levels drop outside, your skin’s moisture levels drop, too,” adds Dr. Schlessinger. “Taking a hot shower or bath isn’t the answer, as standing or soaking in hot water for long periods of time will only dehydrate the skin more.”
3. Use A Humidifier – “In the winter months, there is no amount of water that you can drink that will hydrate the surface of the skin,” says Dr. Tabasum Mir. “Buy a humidifier with a timer and set it to go off an hour or two before you sleep. Leaving it on all night can hydrate your skin from the outside in.”
4. Gentle Exfoliation Is The Quickest Way To Glow – “Alpha Hydroxy Acids accelerate cell renewal to brighten skin tone, remove dead cells, and smooth the skin’s surface,” says Dr. Jessie Cheung, director of the Jessie Cheung MD Dermatology & Laser Center. “Apply an AHA mask for a few minutes, and rinse off to reveal a fresh, radiant complexion.”
