With the drop in temperature comes drop in humidity level. This weather change can cause the skin to experience much dryness, leaving the body with the uncomfortable feeling and unappealing look of cracked cuticles, flaky skin, and chapped lips. However, by exfoliating now, you are fighting those effects as well as creating a perfect, holiday glow throughout your skin.
Because of the dry and cold air, our skin cells tend to die much faster than in warmer months. Therefore, it is important to scrub away those moisture-blocking dead skin cells to allow the skin underneath to beautifully shine through. After exfoliating, layer a moisturizer on top to add staying power to the exfoliator’s hydration. Your scrub should be applied twice a week unless the directions state otherwise.
If you’re looking to add a scrub to your weekly skin care routine or just wanting switch-up your old exfoliator, give some of our favorites a try. Get ready to stun at your next holiday party or New Years Eve bash with the most radiant skin in the room.
