Winter weather presents special challenges to the skin, as chilled air tends to be devoid of moisture and can leave lips and cheeks chapped, flaky and dry.
As a result, women may want to re-think their skin care regimen when the temperature begins to drop.
"The biggest battle in winter versus summer is skin getting dried out and losing its luster, so you want to think about switching products," advises New York dermatologist David Bank, M.D., quoted by Elle magazine.
This may include swapping the oil-zapping toner that you use the summer for a hydrating gel version, according to the source.
An article in the Journal Standard reports that battling winter dryness may be a matter of using a rich moisturizer, eating a healthy, vitamin-rich diet and avoiding stressful life events, which can exacerbate skin problems from saggy jowls to acne.
Additionally, individuals should still remember to visit their dermatologist regularly in order to prevent malignant skin cancer. Many people forget to make these important appointments during the cooler months because the sun's rays are not as intense.
