TREAT YOUR FACE
This season, dryness, flaking and redness occur due to “weather changes that can dehydrate skin,” says Maya K. Thosani, M.D., a dermatologist at Modern Dermatology in Scottsdale, AZ. As temps cool and humidity lowers, skin “is prone to cracking and irritation,” notes Nicole Y. Lee, M.D., owner of Epoch Dermatology in Garden City, NY.
EXPERTS SAY: To rehydrate skin and reinforce its barrier, switch to a rich face moisturizer at night, or try double moisturizing (use a hydrating serum and then a cream, or apply moisturizer twice, waiting for it to soak in), Dr. Thosani suggests. Use gentle cleansers to prevent stripping skin’s natural oils, Dr. Lee says.
