The cold and frosty air outside and hot, dry air inside cause problems for skin health and affect the appearance of the face. The Face Rx team wants to remind you about a few skin care tips that are handy in winter and will allow you to enjoy holiday festivities without worries about your looks.

2. Use gentle cleansers and avoid toners with alcohol.
3. Hydrate your skin! Most people with dry, sensitive or normal skin will require creams rather than lotions during the day, and definitely night-type creams at night that have a higher percentage of natural oils that will lock the moisture in and will not cause clogging of pores. Avoid Shea butter products – there are some reports that Shea butter can cause more clogging. Lotions and lighter type moisturizers are advised for oily skin.
