Dr. Gamboa's Winter Skin Do's & Don'ts ❄️🧴
Do:
- Hydrate- Dry skin is a key indicator of dehydration, so it's best to get your H2O on before you crave it.
- Exfoliate- Delicately dry-brush twice a week with a small, soft boar-bristle brush, which clears dead skin naturally.
- Protect- Sunscreen is a must 365 days a year.
- Detoxify- Once a week, apply a mask to tighten, tone, and purify.
- Combine- Give your skin (and schedule) a break by using an all-in-one coverage, anti-aging, and SPF product.
Don't:
- Overkill- Because your skin is more prone to irritation during drier winter months, it's best to keep to a simple routine.
- Overeat- We crave rich foods this time of year, but too much of a good thing can show up as clogged pores and breakouts.
- Undereat- On the flip side, too few calories can leave you looking sallow and haggard.
- Undersleep- Skimping on sleep results in puffy eyes, dark circles, and ashy complexions - not a great look.
