Protect Your Skin from Winter Weather
Winter weather can be brutal on your skin. Learn how to get your body winter ready with tips from dermatologist, Dr. David Colbert.
-
Moisturize Your Face
The skin on your face is fragile and takes the biggest hit in winter weather because it's open to the air. The result is broken capillaries, larger pores, sensitive skin, and brown spots. Use moisturizer with glycerin and oils to maximize protection. For especially dry skin, try Colbert MD Heal & Smooth. -
Mix Oil into Your Fave Lotion
Dr. Colbert recommends using light facial oils instead of water-based products. To give your favorite lotion an extra boost, mix in a few drops of argon oil before applying it to your skin.

Use Gentle Cleansers
Avoid harsh soaps that pull the oil off your skin. Use gentle cleansers like Cetaphil that moisturize as you cleanse. -
Protect Your Lips
Harsh winter weather can ravage your lips, causing cracks and drying out the corners of your mouth. Protect your lips with lip balm that contains oil to moisturize your smile while shielding it from the wind and cold. Dr. Colbert also warns against biting into acidic foods, such as apples, which can linger on your lips and dry them out. Cut up apples before eating to avoid excess acid on your lips. -
Protect Your Hands
Your cuticles and knuckles are hit hardest in harsh winter weather. Nails also tend to crack more easily, so avoid cutting them short. Moisturize your hands with creams instead of lotions. Lotions have water and tend to evaporate quickly. Cream-based products will help lock moisture in.
