cozy up

It's easy to write off winter as a season to survive before you get to the good stuff.

Sure, the days are short and the heating bills are high. But there is no other time when life can switch from dreary to fluffy and white in the blink of an eye.

When you come inside from swimming, do you get hot cocoa? Can you make forts out of fall leaves? Heck no. That's the winter wonderland, baby.

Embrace snow days. Celebrate warm drinks and cozy sweaters. When life gives you snow, make snowmen.

Dry Skin Be Gone Protect your skin from the winter blues with this routine.

The changing seasons can mean changes to your skin and skin-care routine. When winter weather rolls in, you may find your skin becoming dry, itchy, cracked and even wind-burned. But you can protect yourself from the elements of winter—wind, bitter cold or even indoor heat. These few simple steps can help improve the way your skin looks and feels.

• J ust because it’s cold doesn’t mean you can skimp on the SPF. The sun’s rays can bounce off snow and ice, making you more susceptible to damaging UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen should be worn 365 – or, in the case of 2012, 366 – days a year.

• S witch out your normal cleanser for a more moisturizing one.

• I f you have dry patches, spot-treat them with a heavier moisturizer day and night.

• Skin care shouldn’t stop at your face. When bathing, use warm instead of hot water, which can strip your skin of moisture. Also, consider slathering on a thick moisturizer while your skin is moist.

• D on’t forget your lips! To prevent dry, cracked lips, use a balm with an SPF of at least 15.

• Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water (at least eight 8-ounce glasses per day are recommended). You may find it beneficial to use a humidifier in your home during the colder months to put moisture into the air.
