With the holiday season just around the corner, your schedule is probably filling up fast with parties, gatherings, and shopping trips. Amid all the excitement, you’ll want to look fresh and radiant—even if you don’t always feel that way. That’s why taking care of your skin is essential. After all, when your skin looks great, you feel more confident and ready to take on the festivities.
Cold, dry weather can be tough on your skin, leading to breakouts, dullness, redness, or irritation. The key to keeping your skin happy is to be gentle with your skincare routine, avoiding excessive use of products, hot water, and even indoor heating.
If the idea of switching up your skincare routine feels overwhelming, don’t worry—these are simple, easy adjustments. For instance, long, hot showers might feel amazing, but they strip your skin (and hair) of natural oils. Instead, opt for shorter showers with warm water. Not only will your skin retain more moisture, but your hair will thank you too.
Indoor heating, especially forced air, can also dry out your skin. Try lowering the temperature or setting a timer to turn the heat off at night to help maintain your skin’s hydration.
