Relieving Dry Skin in the Winter

As winter approaches many suffer from dry, chapped skin and lips. Here are a few tips to care for your dry skin.

  • Limit your exposure to hot water. Instead, take 5-10 minute showers or baths. Any longer than that your skin will start to dehydrate.
  • Moisturize immediately after bathing. Applying cream or ointment while the skin is still moist will help lock in the moisture.
  • Apply a petroleum-based lip balm frequently and especially at night.
  • Make sure to bundle up when going outdoors. Scarves and gloves will prevent your lips and hands from chapping.
  • Use a humidifier in the home to help relieve and prevent dry skin by adding moisture into the air.

In cases where the skin is severely dry, you can find relief from a moisturizer that contains urea or lactic acid. Two of my favorites are Cerave SA and Amlactin.

Lumivive – SkinMedica’s Latest Anti-Aging System

Lumivive is SkinMedica’s latest anti-aging system. It combines two powerful serums:

  • Lumivive Day works as the defender in the duo by creating a bio-barrier to combat the aging effects of blue light and pollution.
  • Lumivive Night recharges the skin cells while you sleep to repair damage and restore a youthful appearance.

I added Lumivive to my skin care regimen approximately eight weeks ago.

My pigmentation improved after only two weeks.

Lumivive also gave my skin a nice glow and smoothed my wrinkles – including my crow’s feet – despite fighting a sinus infection and laryngitis!
