How to Keep Your Skin Hydrated All Winter Long

by Camille Bavera

Hot to cold, yes and no’s for keeping your skin healthy and hydrated as we move into the chilly months! Fall is that awkward, middle-school esque transition from too humid to bone dry, and unfortunately we’re all here for it. Moisturizers and cold cream can be great in a pinch but drinking lots of water and establishing an ever-adjusting routine that keep you glowy

Here are helpful tips for what to eat and wear to survive the cold. Start to lean a little on your new face mist. Hydration is key in combating the dropping temperatures, so besides drinking at least 10 glasses of water per day, start including a topical spritz.

POPULAR HOME REMEDIES INCLUDE:

• 2 cups of strong brewed green tea, chill, then add a few drops of Vit E for an extra boost.

• 1 cup strong chamomile tea, a couple drops of jojoba oil (my personal fav), plus an essential oil for some scent. Up to you.

• 1 tbsp lime juice, ½ cup distilled water, 3 tbsp aloe. Combine and chill.

*remember chilling is key *can add cucumber juice/water to any of these for an extra refreshing boost

In the changing months, here are the best tips for beating those last, random days of heat.

Take a few minutes and ice your face during the day! Using ice cubes will not only hydrate your skin but alleviate the puffiness from any late nights or long days. Other options include frozen face rollers you can grab out of the freezer at a moment’s notice – maybe even keep one in the work fridge.

Lastly, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Some skin types continue to need a face cream all year round while others only need it during the driest seasons. No matter what category you fall into, try to start incorporating it into your daily routine or just keep a good one on hand for the days you need it most.
