3 Essential Tips for a Winter Skin Routine

1. Cleanse In the morning and before you go to sleep, always wash your face. Depending on your skin type: sensitive, dry, oily or combination, picking a cleanser specialized for you is so important. Take me, for example. Because I have sensitive skin, I use Fresh Soy Face Cleanser. Also, washing your face with your hands instead of a brush or a cloth does not do a good job cleaning out the toxins. I use a Clarisonic cleansing brush. It's a great investment and does wonders for your skin.

2. Keep moisturized Even if your skin is oily, it is because your face is acting out against the lack of hydration. Put face cream on after washing your face in the mornings and evenings, and lotion your body after you bathe. In the mornings, I use Clinique Moisture Surge, while at night, I use Lancôme Bienfait Night Cream. For my body, I use Kiehl’s Creme de Corps.

3. Occasional treatments Know when you need repair. Facials, scrubs, peels etc. are all great ways of maintaining healthy skin, but only if you truly need them. Over treating your skin can be harmful, so it is better to do less. Keep your skin happy and healthy this Winter.
