The weather in March is about as predictable as what’s going to happen next on an episode of The Bachelor. While hints of spring are popping up in flower boxes, another snowstorm could be right around the corner.
Cold, windy weather can accelerate the evaporation of moisture in your skin, leaving your face feeling tight, dry and flaky. Even if you choose to hunker down away from the cold, indoor heating and cooling systems can dry out your skin, leaving chapped lips and dry throats in their wake.
Scaly skin is not a look any of us are striving for. Whether your face is naturally parched or sloughing off from the windchill, here are three quick tips to relieve dry skin.
Choose Skincare That Emulates Mom’s Best Qualities
As kids, Mom’s gentle and soothing nature saved us from meltdowns over bumps and scrapes. As adults, gentle and soothing is what we crave when combating dry skin.
The Fresh Faces by Frances Soothing Chamomile Milky Cleanser is gentle enough for daily use to cleanse skin and remove make-up. It’s ingredients, including chamomile oil and Vitamins A and E, provide necessary healing moisture to prevent dry, red irritations. Follow up your cleansing with a mild exfoliator that sloughs dead flakes off the surface of your skin and allows other products to absorb quickly. We recommend the Fresh Faces by Frances Antioxidant Exfoliating Blueberry and Papaya Fruit Cleanser.
To tone, choose something hydrating like the Fresh Faces by Frances Gentle Nourishing Toner. This multi-functional hydrating toner refreshes and rehydrates the skin while enhancing its natural repair process.
