Purchase a humidifier to
restore the skin’s moisture
levels, and use a good lotion

damp, because the lotion
will help lock in moisture.

Try to avoid using a blow
dryer in the wintertime. While
the hot air can easily dry your
locks, it could also dry out or
irritate your scalp. In addition

your thermostat set to a cool,
comfortable temperature,
between 68 to 72 degrees.

8. Protecting your insides is just as
important as taking care of your
outside. The easiest starting point
is to drink plenty of water to keep
yourself hydrated from the inside
out. In addition, it’s beneficial to
maintain a diet filled with healthy
oils and fats. You can also try adding
some of these foods to your winter
diet to help maintain healthy skin:
