Skincare Tips for Winter
Skincare is never more difficult than during winter, when there is an excess of cold and dry air. When this air comes into direct contact with the skin, it leeches moisture and causes irritation (cracking, chafing, inflammation, etc.). However, there are several simple lifestyle habits you can adopt to help keep your skin healthy, even during the harshest winters: 1. Invest in a humidifier The purpose of a humidifier is to add moisture to the air, especially once you turn your forced heating on and the air is dry.
