15 Simple Yet Effective Winter Skincare Tips For Managing Dry And Oily Skin

Change Makeup Products

Some makeup products protect the skin during the winter whereas others damage it. As winter approaches, go through makeup products at home and look for those with a high alcohol content; set these products aside for the summer because they can make the skin dry out during the winter. In addition, avoid damp makeup because it can clog pores in the skin. The best products for winter are light, hydrating makeup products. Aside from protecting the skin, they do not 'cake' on the skin as do most damp products during the winter. Another strategy for locking moisture into the face is to mix foundation or primer with a few drops of moisturizer.

Invest In Lip Balms

The lips are as susceptible to the effects of cold temperatures as is every other part of the body. Therefore, they should be moisturized at all times. One of the best ways to do this is by investing in a hydrating lip balm. Use it on the lips before applying lipstick or other products. When buying a lip balm for the winter, look for unscented products because they tend to be heavier and more effective than their scented counterparts. Avoid lip products with alcohol and other ingredients, which can dry out the lips and cause chapping.
