1. On the west coast, the driest part of the year is from October to February. On the east coast, because of the cold weather, heater is often used which also dries out skin. Therefore, no matter where you live, use a humidifier at night. This will add moisture to the air which helps relieve dry skin, chapped lips and sore throats.
2. Take shorter showers. Your skin can be stripped of moisture during long, hot baths. Limit the number of showers or baths to one a day and only use soap on body parts that produce odor.
3. Apply moisturizer right after shower. Use cocoa butter and products such as Alba Hand & Body lotion.
4. Always apply sun block after your moisturizer.. yes, even in the winter you should make sure you use sun block!
5. Exfoliate. Get rid of that dry flaky skin. Sabon makes a great body scrub which is only available online or in NYC.
6. Take cod liver oil from Nordic Naturals. This oil has the best after taste and is very easy to take.
