What to Do About Dry Skin in the Winter

Dry skin is a friend to no one and can be downright intolerable in the winter. It’s itchy and with frequent scratching comes bleeding. Thankfully, with a little extra care, you can give your skin the moisture it needs and deserves this winter.

Say Goodbye to Wool

While wool can keep the skin very warm, it is also irritating to the skin. Instead, dress in warm layers made of cotton when you get cold. This will also help to protect the skin from the damaging impacts of cold wind.

Invest in a Quality Lotion

The best thing you can do for your skin is to keep it moisturized. The most straightforward way to do this is by using a thick lotion. It’s harder to apply in the winter when you are already wearing many layers, but it’s the most important time of year to keep on it. Apply it before going outside and before going to bed.

Many dry skin sufferers have found relief through moisturizers like Sween24 which is great for moisturizing the skin and lips. Lactic Acids help to seal in moisture. Try to seek out moisturizers with added lactic acid to help even more. Atrac-Tain® has lactic acid and is very soothing to the skin.
