Fashionable clothes, shoes and accessories are great but the last thing you want to do this winter is pair them with dry skin or brittle hair. So, here are some things to avoid in order to keep looking your best as the weather hits its coldest temperatures of the year (brrr!).

Treat your skin well

In order to achieve healthy and supple skin all winter long, remember to moisturize your body immediately after showering. You might not have time to do this every day (especially if you’re rushing off to work in the morning), but even if you can manage to fully moisturize a few times a week you should notice a difference in your skin and ward off any would-be dryness.

Additionally, if you tanned in the summer sun (tisk, tisk, you know it’s unhealthy), then you’ll want to cover up your skin and shield it from the elements as much possible. Also, if you are going out with exposed skin then make sure to tend to it with protective creams before it encounters the winter winds. Doing so should help you to avoid the dry, irritable skin that many of us have to overcome in winter.

Winter Hair Care

The prime cause for dull hair in winter is the fact that it is exposed to extreme temperatures which dries it out. One way to combat this is to avoid frequent shampooing which can contribute to over-dry, brittle hair. You can also consider replenishing your hair with some moisture to get back the shine after shampooing by using a conditioner that keeps the health, shine and vitality locked in your hair strands. Furthermore, try to cut down on the usage of curling irons and blow dryers as we all know these damage our luscious locks. 

Treat Your Clothes Well Too

When it comes to taking care of your clothes in these incliment months, don’t forget to treat your leather well by using appropriate treatment sprays. Letting the elements take their toll on your leather garments is a guaranteed way to lessen their lifespan and make them appear dull!
