In which direction do the Egyptian pyramids face?

Answer 1

Perhaps you’ve already made arrangements for your winter vacation at a ski resort and partook in some holiday cheer. The gifts are wrapped, cookies are baked and your middle name doesn’t even come close to Scrooge. Sure, winter can be a fun time of year, but it still has its trade-offs. From chapped lips to dry, cracked skin, the winter climate can take its toll on our beauty as everything cries out for serious moisture. Well continue reading to get the dish on how to maintain our skin amid the blizzards and wind chills.

1. Put back your gel cleanser in the cabinet and reach for a cream cleanser instead. Gel-based cleansers are best suited for oily skin, while cream-based cleansers are formulated for normal to dry skin types. And since the winter season tends to dry out the skin, a cream cleanser will provide extra hydration that your skin may be lacking during this time. Try Aveda Crème Cleanser ($20).
2. Don’t skip the sunscreen. Sure, maybe you’re not Surfing the waves or basking in the sun this time of year, but our skin is still exposed to UV rays all year round- and regardless of the chilly temperature, skin is still susceptible to sun damage.
3. Exfoliate your face and bod. You may not feel the urge to exfoliate your skin since it probably feels and looks dryer, but that is no license to skip the scrub. So continue to slough off dead surface cells by using quality exfoliation. For your face, try Lancome Pure Focus Exfoliator ($24.50)- it’s a deep pore scrub with microbeads that is sure to get down to the nitty gritty in your skin. For the rest of your body, simply mix sea salt (or sugar) and olive together in a jar and create your own thrifty albeit effective body scrub. The salt or sugar is sure to remove dead skin cells, while the olive oil will saturate that skin of yours with some exceptional moisture.
4. Of course, these are common sense tips, but this step is one that even the manliest guys are aware of, so lets just state the obvious: moisturize! Any quality, ultra moisturizing body lotion will suffice, but try Dove Cream Oil Shea Butter Body lotion ($8).
5. Don’t neglect the eye cream. Our eye area is fragile. Period. Now is especially not the time to ignore that part of our face.
6. Whip out the classic Chapstick or Carmex. Your lips will love you for it.

With winter-prepped skin, you can fiercely face the cold and not have to dread what the meteorologist says (beauty wise).
