As the days goes smaller and nights become long , winter is coming is what it shows.The skin which is the main victim for this weather has to save so that its creamy and moisture never fade.
A luminous complexion makes us feel young, confident and exuberant -- a light in the dark days of winter. If your skin is shimmering on a wintry day, others notice .
So here are some tips to make your body resistant to this chilling weather :
Upgrade your cleanser: If you've been using a normal skin cleanser, you'll probably need to upgrade to something a little creamier or foamier to handle the dry skin winter weather tends to provoke. Look for cleansers that remove impurities, but do not strip.
Keep hydrated : Upgrade to a richer moisturizer. If your skin tends to be dry, you may also want to consider layering another product that will amplify the effects of your moisturizer.

2. Get a professional facial. If you have the time, this is the best way to reevaluate your skins needs and pick out the best products for your "seasonal" skin.
Dietary suggestions to help promote winter skin hydration:
1.Stay away from dehydrating foods such as caffeine, sugar and alcohol.
2.Think hydration. Beautifying foods that hydrate are fish, flax oil, nut butters and plant oils.
3.Snack on natural nuts, a few seeds or use oils that contain essential fatty acids and antioxidants like vitamins A and E. Try almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds and walnuts.
4.Eat fresh fall/winter fruits that contain antioxidants, such as vitamin C -- try apples, bananas, blood oranges, clementines, cranberries, grapes, grapefruit, kiwi, persimmons, pomegranates or tangerines.
5.Drink plenty of water.
6.Get a good night's sleep. Nothing is worse for the skin than sleep deprivation.
7.Ever heard of tea bags on puffy eyes? A strong tea facial with the steam from the tea is another soothing, hydrating treatment. But not just any tea will do. Go for green chamomile tea. It can both relax and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
8.Yogurt is beneficial and may help maintain a youthful glow. Use yogurt with active cultures to maintain regularity.
Winter Skin Helpers:
1. Dry Skin -- Massage a natural oil, such as almond, sunflower or light sesame oil, into your skin before bathing or showering to help soften skin. Also try not to overdo hot showers -- they can dry skin and hair.
2. Chapped Lips -- Protect lips with a rich lip balm made from melting together equal parts coconut oil and cocoa butter. This can be used under your favorite lipstick color.
3. Windburn -- Moisturize at night before going to bed with a good natural cream. A facial mask made of cooked oatmeal and a teaspoon of honey is naturally hydrating and soothing to chapped skin.
4. Dry cuticles -- Massage a small amount of olive oil into your cuticles daily to condition them and also boost circulation, which will result in healthier, stronger nails.
Scrubs: Create a gentle scrub to buff away dry surface cells, achieve softness and leave the skin feeling healthier. To get the skin glowing, massage into damp skin in the shower.
Soaps: Use only vegetable soaps.
