The winter months are infamous for bringing havoc on our skin, from the delicate areas on our face to the tougher areas on our arms, backs, and legs. Winter brings extreme temperatures that suck moisture out of your skin, and expose it to the elements. If you don’t want to feel like parchment paper all winter long, here are two things you MUST do on a consistent basis:
1. EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation is the act of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or an at-home scrub used every other day are great examples of ways to get dead, flaky skin off the epidermal layer, revealing glowing, healthy skin underneath.
2. MOISTURIZE
With exfoliation comes moisturization; one without the other only hurts your skin. Protect it with a hydrating moisturizer, and make sure it has an SPF of at least 15. The rays of the sun are still there, even in months with little sunlight!
After exfoliation you want to put only the most gentle skin care products on your skin. For this we use and recommend the Usana Sense product line. There are not harmful chemical preservatives nor any irritating “Natural” preservatives.
