How to Prevent Dry Scaly Skin in the Winter

Cold weather dries out our hair and skin. There are a few ways you can prevent your skin from becoming dry and scaly in the winter. Try a few of our tips.

1. Exfoliate your skin in the shower 1-2 times a week. This will get rid of the dead and dry layers of skin.

2. After exiting the shower, pat your skin with a towel until you are damp then apply a creamy moisturizer. Be sure not to dry yourself off completely. Your damp skin will help lock in the moisture from your lotions and creams.

3. If lotion doesn't do the trick, try a product with a thicker consistency, like cocoa butter or raw shea butter.

6 Winter Beauty Tips

1. Moisturize your face: Make sure your face is hydrated before applying make-up.

2. Exfoliate your skin: To get rid of dead skin cells and enhance it's overall appearance, it is important to exfoliate.

3. Condition your hair: During the winter months, there is less moisture in the air which can make your hair and scalp feel dry and brittle.

4. Choose a protective style: Adding hair extensions are a great alternative to wearing your natural hair in the winter. Also try to avoid flat irons, blow dryers and curling irons if possible.

5. Get a humidifier: This will produce extra moisture into the air and prevent dry skin and eyes in the winter.

6. Drink plenty of water: Drink lots of water and let it run through your hair often to restore any lost moisture.
