During the harsh colder weathers, it is important to keep your skin from drying out. The cold weather can damage your skin and cause your skin to tighten up or crack. If your skin feels tight or dry you might not be moisturizing enough. If you do moisturize but your skin still tends to dry out easily, you might want to upgrade your moisturizer. Using a thicker moisturizer can make a huge difference in your skin as it allows it to retain more moisture. Look for products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin for maximum moisturization.Â
While it is important to moisturize your skin, it is also possible to moisturize too much. If you apply more heavy cream and lotions on your skin than necessary, your skin can begin to feel oily and your pores may get clogged. The overall use of moisturizers are situational, so test it out before you fully commit to a product!
