Get Your Skin Ready For Winter

1. Drink Plenty of Water- Recent research and studies have shown the importance of water in the skin. When skin cells divide, repair, or any biochemical reaction it all takes place in the presence of water. If there is not enough water present in the skin these biochemical reactions in the cells do not take place properly. Water not only acts a solvent but helps to aid in energy production within the cell. When you have good energy production the cells repair themselves better.
2. Wear Sunscreen Everyday: Sunscreen is the most important step in any skin care routine. Also, with the increase in skin cancer among adults it is important to protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays. The look of the skin will improve as well, since it will have a chance to heal and repair itself rather than fighting off the suns harmful rays.
3. Get Into a Facial Routine: Facials can really help to improve the look of skin by putting hydrating and active ingredients to calm, moisturize, and nurture the skin.
4. Be Sure To Have A Good Home-Care Routine:  Products we use everyday can really help to improve the look of the skin.  Ingredients to look for to hydrate the skin in the winter are lactic acid, aloe (aloe gets absorbed into the skin more quickly than water and will help other ingredients to penetrate better), hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and shea butter to name a few.
