Moisturize: Use a rich moisturizer and apply it after bathing to lock in moisture. Look for creams with ingredients like petrolatum, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides.

Adjust your bathing habits: Avoid long, hot
showers, as they can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead.

Protect from the elements: Wear layers with
natural fibers as the closest layer to your skin and use a humidifier in your home or office to add moisture to the air.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells that can build up during the winter.

Use gentle cleansers: Choose mild cleansers that won’t further strip your skin of its natural oils.

Staying hydrated in the winter is important because dry, cold air can increase fluid loss, and thirst cues are less reliable.

Tips for staying hydratedDrink warm fluids: If you dislike cold drinks, opt for warm beverages like herbal tea, warm water with lemon, or broth, which all contribute to your fluid intake.

Eat hydrating foods: Incorporate foods with high water content into your diet, such as soups, fruits, and vegetables like celery, cucumbers, and leafy greens.

Limit dehydrating drinks: Be mindful of caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase urination and lead to fluid loss. Drink them in moderation and balance with plenty of water.

Carry a water bottle: Keeping a reusable water bottle with you, perhaps an insulated one to keep it from getting too cold, can serve as a constant reminder to sip throughout the day.

Set reminders: Use a phone or computer alert to remind you to drink fluids regularly, especially if you find you often forget.
