Whether you're experiencing (enjoying? enduring?) snowstorms like we are in Colorado or just general cold and wind, winter can be really tough on your skin.
The consequences of damaged winter skin aren't fun -
> Dry/dehydrated skin makes it difficult for moisturizers to penetrate the skin barrier effectively.
>> Flaky skin leads to blotchy, uneven makeup application (during the season of photos! Ugh!).
>>> Exfoliation is helpful to create a smoother "canvas", but dry skin is more sensitive - and over exfoliating can make the problem even worse.
>>>> Overly dry skin can trigger excess sebum production, leading to an increase in breakouts.
Yikes all around!
