Reviews on Cold Weather and Dry Skin Care Problems

Colder Weather and Dry Skin Problems

Not only do I have to deal with fighting the wrinkles and lines, but I have to find solutions to dryer skin during the winter months. Skin care problems for myself are worse during the colder weather.

The winter months can be especially damaging to the skin. The wind blows harder and colder, the temperature drops, and moisture becomes depleted in the skin causing skin dehydration, scaling, and flaking cracked areas. Areas such as the lips, elbows, knees, heels, and hands become particularly parched during this season. UVA rays in winter are as intense and cause as much damage as UVA rays in the summer months. So you see the skin care problems increase in winter times for most.

My face gets so much dryer during the winter time. My regular face care products doesn't seem to work as well then. I also have problems with dryer skin on my legs.

I know that I'm not alone with this problem. After shopping around at local stores and trying out various skin care products, I found that they just don't offer what my skin needs.

Once again, I went in search online for the "miracle" cure. I know there isn't just one skin care product that will do it all, but it would be nice to find something close.

Here are a few face and skin care products I found worthy of sharing with you. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of the things I am putting on here.

The following are some pointers to help alleviate and prevent these conditions, whether in the dryness of winter or in an arid climate.

First, and foremost, cleansing should be done with tepid water and a lathering gel rather than with hot water and soap. Hot water and soap are too harsh and can strip our Natural Moisture Factor and cause flaking of the skin.

Secondly, be sure to exfoliate the skin at least three times a week with a gentle non abrasive scrub.

A hydrating mask should be used at least three times a week.

A Vitamin C Serum is powerful at combating wrinkles, which are much more prominent in the winter months.

During winter months (no matter what skin type) we should be applying a hydrating booster with hyaluronic acid before our moisturizer, which will help draw moisture to the upper layers of the skin and replenish hyaluronic found naturally in our skin.

Always choose a moisturizer with anti-oxidants to help protect from free radicals, especially Vitamins A and E.

The following site I'm about to share with you, also has some great products for both your face and skin care problems.
