The Happy Holidays are here!  And that brings wintery weather, giving some of us dry skin.  These symptoms most always include one or more of the following:  tightness, itching, flaking, burning, stinging, redness; an overall discomfort with the way our skin feels.

1.  Avoid scrubs as these will thin the skin and cause irritation below the skin’s surface and perhaps on the surface with sensitive or overly irritated skin types.

2  Use creamy, non or gently foaming cleansers with lukewarm water.

3. Lastly, you may need to apply moisturizer 4-6 times a day depending on the level of dryness you are experiencing with your skin.  Extremely dry skin, apply a hydrating (non alcohol infused toner) or wet the face with water before applying moisturizer. 

4.  Extra water (drinking) water never hurts.

If after a week there is no improvement, you may need an exfoliation and hydration treatment
