WINTER DRY SKIN
If you have dry skin, the cold winter months can take their toll. Fine lines appear more noticeable. Makeup application seems difficult. Your skin is dehydrated, resulting in a lifeless and flaky surface. These concerns are due to the slowing down of oil-gland production and your skin's inability to retain moisture.
My great-grandmother used fresh snow from the windowsill as a hydrating facial mask. With today's air pollution, I wouldn't recommend that technique! Almond milk, coconut oil, and olive oil are all wonderful foods for winter restoration.
Please note: In the winter, people with dry skin should not use a toner.
