How should you alter your beauty regimen as winter approaches?
- Wash your face with a mild cleanser and rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid antibacterial soaps and very hot water.
- Apply a water-based moisturizer while your skin is still damp to seal in moisture before it's lost. For dryer skin, use a heavier cream
- If you have really dry skin, avoid toners as they dry it out even more. If you have oily or normal skin, try an astringent
- Exfoliate once a week to remove flaky skin.
