Zandy MangoldWe beauty editors are always answering skin-care questions from our co-workers and friends. Whats the best antiaging moisturizer? How do I get rid of a pimple quickly? Do I need to see a doctor for this thing? (Yes, were asked to check out friends scaly patches more often than wed like.)<\/p>\n
We also get a ton of questions from you. So we thought: Wouldnt it be great if we could bring all our readers into Healths Beauty Closet for some real-world advice? Since that wasnt possible, we did the next best thing: We gathered your top winter skin problems, then pooled our collective wisdom to help you solve them. Read on for our straight talk (no topic is taboo in the Beauty Closet!), quick tips, and favorite winter product picks.<\/p>\n
Skin problem #1: “I have rough, dry skin all over my body.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Colleen<\/strong>: This happens to everyone in the winter because of the colder, drier weather. Ive found that it helps to shower every other day. Skin problem #2: “My complexion gets really dry.” <\/strong><\/p>\n Jenn<\/strong>: Even people with oily skin can have this issue in the winter. Skin problem #3: “My skin is so sensitive in the winter.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Melanie<\/strong>: I can relate. As soon as the weather changes, my complexion becomes red and itchy.
Jenn<\/strong>: Thats a good idea because water—especially hot—dehydrates your skin. It seems counterintuitive, but every dermatologist Ive asked says its true. If you cant go a day without showering, keep showers short and turn down the water temperature.
Colleen<\/strong>: An aesthetician once told me dry body brushing helps, too. Before I shower, I run a body brush over my skin using upward strokes—it removes the flaky dry skin cells so moisturizer penetrates better. After the shower, I apply Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream.
Melanie<\/strong>: But the trick is you have to put on lotion when your skins still warm and damp from the shower in order to seal in the moisture.
Jenn<\/strong>: I know thats what youre supposed to do, but I always forget!
Colleen<\/strong>: I put the lotion in my shower next to my shower gel, so I remember to do it before I get out.<\/p>\n
Colleen<\/strong>: My derm told me dry indoor heating is actually a big part of the problem. Ive found that running a humidifier at night really helps. And switching to a richer formula of face moisturizer makes a huge difference.
Melanie<\/strong>: So if you use a gel, step it up to a lotion. And if you use a lotion, get a thicker cream.
Jenn<\/strong>: Most people dont think of this, but you should also switch to a creamy cleanser because theyre less drying than the high-foaming gel ones. I like Neutrogenas new cream cleanser. It takes off my makeup without making my skin feel tight and dry.<\/p>\n
Jenn<\/strong>: One derm told me when your skin is drier, the protective lipid barrier is compromised, and things that normally dont cause irritation—like pollutants in the air or the lanolin from a wool sweater—can cause sensitivity. Fragrances in products can also be irritating for some people. So he suggested switching to fragrance-free products in winter.
Melanie<\/strong>: I have a fragrance-free soap and moisturizer, but I like serums, and its hard to find one that doesnt have some sort of scent.
Colleen<\/strong>: Oh, the Olay serum that I like is actually fragrance-free. I put it on right before my moisturizer.<\/p>\n
