Winter Skincare Survival Guide
Here’s how to look – and feel – beautiful all winter long.
At home
- Over-cleansing can strip your skin of natural oils, so only use your cleanser at night and simply splash water on your face in the morning.
- Hot water can strip skin of moisture, so keep showers short and the water lukewarm.
- Exfoliating becomes extra important for removing dry skin cells in winter. This will also allow your moisturizer to better penetrate skin.
- Unless you have really oily skin, switch to a richer moisturizer, and apply it while skin is still damp to help seal it in.
- It can get a little warm inside those Uggs so take care of your tootsies with a peppermint foot cream. And a peppermint spray will cool them off after a long day. Try The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion and Foot Spray, $10 each.

I was diagnosed with a very mild case of roseacea and my dermatologist recommended the La Roche Posay line of cleansers. So I use the cleanser and the moisturizer.
Once a week I use Avene's gentle purifying scrub and about every three days I use Nuxe clear mask. All purchased at Shopper's Drug Mart.
When my skin gets a bit rosy from the weather, I use a prescription cream, Metrocreme to help take the redness away.
