\u201cCold weather can be very damaging to the skin. It can also contribute to aging the skin as cold weather can leave the skin looking dry due to less moisture in the air. In addition, the use of indoor heat can leave skin dehydrated. During cold weather, your skin needs two types of moisturizers. The skin needs a moisturizer that acts as a barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss. Also, the skin also needs a moisturizer that keeps the skin cells hydrated,\u201d says Dr. Michele Green<\/strong><\/a> Dermatologist and Haute Beauty Anti-Aging Expert from New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the winter months, the skins sebum production is typically less. As the temperature gets colder the skin produces less oil. Avoid over washing the skin and using cleansers which contain acids or exfoliants,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

By switching to a creamy cleanser that contains humectants your skin will feel more hydrated. And, keeping the temperature of the water below 99 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid dryness and dehydration of the skin.<\/p>\n

Dr. Green<\/a><\/strong> says to look out for these common skin conditions that occur from exposure to cold air are Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Chapped Lips, Rosacea, Windburn, and Cold Urticaria.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle Adjustments<\/h3>\n

Dermatologist Dr. Amanda Doyle<\/a> <\/strong>from Russak Dermatology Clinic<\/a><\/strong> based in New York City also says to wash with lukewarm waters, no more than once per day with a very gentle soap.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the shower, immediately applying a moisturizer to the body will help to lock in extra hydration to avoid dry, winter skin. Using humidifiers at home also help and staying hydrated by drinking 8 glasses of water per day,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso avoid harsh masks and exfoliants. If you really want to exfoliate, try Karyng Illuminate Mask which gently exfoliates with enzymes and quartz and hydrates the skin at the same time,\u201d says Dr. Karyn Grossman<\/a><\/strong>, Haute Beauty Skin Expert from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

She also says if you are using a gel moisturizer, you may need to switch to a lotion, and if you are using a lotion switch that out for a thicker cream. And if you are already using creams, add oil over the cream.<\/p>\n
