To understand why we need different products for our skin during the dry winter months than what we need during the hot summer months, we examine what happens to our skin during this frigid time of the year. According to dermalogica, a best-in-class skin care educational company:

The harsh weather can strip the skin’s natural protective barrier, creating gaps in the outer most layer, allowing water to escape (dehydration) and irritants to get in (sensitivity). The dry environment may be responsible for the itchy sensations, as the inflammatory response kicks in and releases histamines. It can exacerbate inflammatory skin diseases such as rosacea, eczema, ichthyosis, and psoriasis, which suffer an impaired barrier function.

Say goodbye to dry winter skin with these 5 FABULOUS PRODUCTS!

3) The Soap Opera Company Sea Salt Scrub

The Epsom salts exfoliate dry skin, relax stiff joints and muscles, and support detoxification. Our scrub also contains jojoba oil—which is in fact a wax similar to sebum that your skin readily absorbs. And while many moisturizers and creams contain lanolin, which make acne more severe, jojoba, with its non-greasy texture and anti-inflammatory properties, can help acne and even soothe sunburn.
