Hello.

One of winters biggest beauty challenges is dealing with dry, static-y conditions created by the combination of very low moisture in the air and cold outdoor temperatures. Typically worst from November through February, static is the culprit behind clinging trousers, flyaway hair and the snap-crackle-pops that occur when you take off your winter coat and scarf.

When the outside temperatures dip and the inside heat cranks up, its vital to have a few tricks up your static-free sleeves. The makers of Static Guard anti-static spray, who created the Static Index to help consumers recognize and prepare for high static conditions in their area, offer the following tips on how to stay stylish during the harsh winter months.

Women on the go should consider keeping a multiple use lip/eye/cheek pencil in their purse for touch-ups during the day. And always keep a tube of lip balm handy in your pocket to ward off chapped, dry lips.

Stop hair from frizzing by spraying combs or brushes with Static Guard then running it lightly through hair after styling and before hairspray. The versatile product is essential for cutting static on the inside of hats and jacket hoods, too. For a one-two punch, spritz the inside of your pants legs and skirts to further prevent static cling. Be sure to keep a handy tote-size can in the purse or car for static emergencies.

For a dewy, youthful look, mix cream or liquid blush with a dab of petroleum jelly and apply to dry cheeks.

Dont forget your hands! Lock in moisture by slathering on a good hydrating lotion before bed and after the mornings shower.

Water works: Drink lots of water to moisturize from the inside out, and lightly mist facial skin with distilled water in a small spray bottle after applying makeup to keep it fresh throughout the day.

again i agree. i have another anti static tip. use a dryer sheet to smooth on your hair and clothes. static comes out. you are right to keep skin moiturized but also to keep sunscreen on your face and uncovered parts of your body. even in winter the sun can do damage. apply chapstick constantly until the winter weather becomes spring.

Great tips! Another good thing to do is use a humidifier or placing a pot of water on your radiator: [ Link Under Review ]

It's also very tempting to skip the sunscreen.....DON'T do it....even though you may not be outside as much, those UV rays can still damage your skin, along with the reflection on the snow. Suncreen on the face, neck and hands are a good idea according to WebMD.

Dry skin? you could try using some natural oil that is from your kitchen. Olive oil is the best choice...before going to bed at night, dont forget to massage olive oil all over your body, face, feet and tummy... then apply milk lotion lavishly...in the morning, your skin will feel much softer and firmer...You'll love it more and more... I got addicted to this regimen...

For dry skin on the face use Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Moisturizing Treatment cream...so love the smooth feeling...you can also check out reviews on some nice products on eyecreamreviews

avoid hot water baths or even washing hands with hot water. Hot water removes the skin moisture making it dry.
Moisturize after a bath or even after washing hands.
Exfoliate your skin on a weekly basis
Avoid regular soap use moisturizing face/body wash.
Use these skin care tips and avoid dry skin

Changing temperatures mean a change of routine, no matter which part of the world you live in. Knowing a little about how skin functions in the winter, and tweaking a few habits, can make all the difference between a dull winter complexion and glowing radiance.

It is right.Use a good moisturizer. Choose a highly protective day cream which contains zinc oxide, and provides SPF30 protection to form a barrier against the elements. Creamier, water-in-oil emulsions are best.
