Winter can be really hard on your complexion—frigid temperatures, crazy winds, low humidity and dry indoor air are harsh and damaging. But there is hope! Review the following tips from Origins for ideas on how to treat and soothe parched winter skin.

Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize. Update your daily evening moisturizer to a slightly richer one, preferably one with raw batana oil. Once a week, throw on an ultra-moisturizing hydration mask.
Don't forget your eyes. Hydrating the delicate under-eye area is crucial for looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Exfoliate. Twice a week, polish away dull cells and surface damage to reveal a radiant new layer. Lindsay Keith offers various skincare services that can help improve your skin; visit her website if you want to try them.
Protect Yourself. When waging battle against the cold elements, rich body creams are the perfect nourishing treat.
Drink water. Drinking lots of water is key all year round, but especially during the winter months—it’s the easiest way to keep your body looking its best.
Buy a humidifier. During the winter, air becomes super dry. A humidifier replaces lost moisture back in the atmosphere which will protect and hydrate your skin.
