the norm for you, limiting exfoliation to twice a month may be beneficial during dry months.
4. Stay Hydrated!
Drinking water during the cold season is just as important as when the sun is blazing. Your skin is the largest organ your body has and plays a vital role in your health. It provides a protective barrier for your internal organs and muscles while serving as an avenue for your body to get rid of toxins.
Drinking at least eight, 8-ounce glasses of water daily will provide your skin with what it needs to do its job.

5. Rest Up!
With our busiest holidays during the cold months, it can seem nearly impossible to get enough rest. Rest is an important component of having healthy skin. Without adequate sleep, our skin has a hard time regenerating from the damage done by harsh winter weather conditions.
Sleep deprivation causes a decrease in blood flow to the skin which can lead to inflammation and premature aging.
Setting a time to unplug from your newsfeed or favorite show can help you get to bed earlier. Putting your children on a sleep schedule will help cut down on endless hours of trying to get them off to sleep.
