Beat Winter Dry Skin
There is nothing worse than dry, flaky, itchy, cracking skin and the colder it gets, the drier your skin can end up. From your toes and heels, all the way up to your face and lips, and everywhere in-between Beauty Blvd. is here to help keep that dry skin at bay!
In the Shower: When you are in the shower, try using Lowila Care Cleansing Bar (Amazon.com
) It is a dermatologist recommended, soap free cleanser that helps relieve dry, irritated skin that is so common during the winter months. It’s different from other cleansers because it is soap-free, which means that it works to hydrate skin more so than bar soaps do, making it ideal for anyone with skin sensitivities – adults and children alike. I love that it has no scent and thoroughly lathers to cleanse my entire body without any irritation. 
Moisturizer: Once you hop out the shower, try LAC-HYDRIN FIVE Moisturizing Lotion, (Amazon.com)
it is a non-greasy, alpha-hydroxy-acid lotion formula that has been clinically proven to relieve the dryness and scaliness associated with dry skin. The AHA in the lotion helps restore moisture to the skin by repairing the skin’s natural barrier. For those rough patches bust out the Seaweed Bath Co. Wildly Natural Seaweed Body Butter, www.seaweedbathco.com
. The packaging reminds me of a stick of deodorant but the buttery formula glides over your roughest areas to make them soft and smooth in no time. 
Face: Mama Mio Clean Slate Cleanser is a paraben-free cleanser infuses skin with essential oils, firming proteins, pre- and pro-biotics and omegas to gently cleanse without over-drying, unbalancing or irritating skin. It's highly fragranced but luckily it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, it actually smells like the spa. After cleansing my skin, I immediately apply cream. My favorite for right now is MD Forte Moisturizer, it's my when all else fails moisturizer.
Lips: Keeping your lips soft and smooth in the cold blistering weather can prove to be a little bit of a challenge, especially since you tend to go from dry heat, to the cold, to dry heat and back again. I always have a stick of lip balm on me at all times, my favorites are Yu-Be, Bliss Fabulips, and MoistStick. At night I always coat my lips with Waxelene, the petroleum jelly alternative.
Skin Expert Dominique Tinkler of OMIC Skincare provides tips on what foods to avoid when you have Dry Skin. Drinks like coffee and black tea dehydrate your internal tissues and skin. Most fried foods contain trans fats and hydrogenated oils which can often deplete levels of good fats and can lead to dry skin. Instead you should focus on drinking lots of water and eating foods with good fats (which will help to keep cell walls strong and prevent water loss) like avocado and olive oil as well as citrus and kiwi (the potassium they contain regulates the body’s water levels). Cabbage has sulfur which can help to prevent dry, irritated skin.
