Each winter, I'm reminded just how harsh the cold, dry air can be on my skin. If you've been in harsh cold climates, you know how easy it is for your lips to get chapped or for flakes to appear.
When it comes to keeping your skin hydrated in the winter, keep these tips in mind:
- prevention: getting rid of dry skin is more difficult and painful than preventing it in the first place
- protection: protecting your skin from the harsh winter air is important – cover your skin with clothing, balms, and other protectants when you'll be outside
- hydration – drink plenty of water and use moisturizing skincare products to keep your skin in good shape
I've been making and using my own avocado serum for hydrated skin throughout the winter for years. It's a simple oil blend and it's super easy to use.
