Dry skin got you down? These 5 Ways to Take Care of Winter Skin should raise you up. The cold, dry, winter weather is here (to stay for a bit long unfortunately). Thus, take action and take care of your skin. From head to toe here are 5 Ways to Take Care of Winter Skin…
5 Ways to Take Care of Winter Skin
Moisturize. I keep a bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Sheer Hydration Lotion beside my bed. Before I hit the sheets I rub it into my feet (I hate the look and feel of dry heels – who doesn’t?!), legs, back and shoulders. That way it can deep moisturize my skin as I sleep.
Face care. Use a gentle facial cleanser, like Aveeno Absolutely Ageless moisturizing cleanser, to clean you skin but also moisturize at the same time. Also, and I know you understood this from my above point…moisturize your face.
Drink water. Yes, those teas and hot chocolates and mocha lattes warm you up in the cold winter months but they don’t replace drinking water to hydrate yourself and your skin. If plain cold water gives you the chills in the winter…try warm water with a slice of lemon.
Put on your gloves. Something I say to my teens often. Protect your hands with appropriate gloves/mittens.
Shower smartly. A gentle cleanser like Aveeno daily moisturizing body wash will give you the clean you need without drying out your skin.
ON THE GO TIP
Carry a small bottle of hand lotion with you in your bag and reapply as needed throughout the day.
AND DON’T FORGET THE KIDS
I give my son a mini back massage with lotion to moisturize his skin. He thinks it’s a fun mom & me moment (OK so do I…sometimes I miss those days where you just cuddled your baby…this gives that experience back to you…as long as they sit still).

My winter skin is horrible! It is dry and cracked. I will do anything to make it feel better. I will definitely take a lot of this under advice and see what works for me.
You had me at Absolutely Ageless! I turn 35 this weekend and am ready to start making my skin a priority.
The winter time is horrible here in Wisconsin. I always make sure to keep our skin hydrated. We really like using Aveeno too.
Aveeno is such a great product! I have used it for decades and love it! We all need to take good care of our skin!
Keeping your skin looking healthy and vibrant is important. I’ve been making my own body butters which have been amazing on my skin!
I definitely prefer warmer water in the winter. Cold water chills me to the bone and I get cranky when I’m cold.
My skin is so dry in the winter. Keeping a small bottle of Aveeno in my purse is a great suggestion!
What great products! It doesn’t get super cold here but my skin does get a little dry when it gets colder.
Winter is horrible on our skin. We have lotion in the purse, in my desk drawer, some in every room of the house… Never feels like its enough
These are all great tips. I’d like to add one more … use a humidifier! My humidifier makes a night and day difference in my skin during the winter.
These are fantastic tips for taking care of winter skin. I always get really dried out with the cold weather. This year I have been trying to drink a lot more water and it stay on top of using my moisturizer.
I will have to try the Aveeno daily moisturizing body because it looks like my body lotion is not enough. Great tips!
That’s a great tip!
These are awesome tips! Moisturizing is def key during the winter months.
