Healing Help for Dry Skin: New Lotions for Face, Hands, and Body

Healthy Hydration Habits

1. Face Friendly: Push your moisturizing routine up a notch. If you normally don't wear moisturizer, start using lotion. Or, if you already use a lotion, upgrade to a thicker, heavier moisturizer.
2. Body-licious: Take lukewarm showers that last no longer than 10 minutes.
3. Lush Lips: Steer clear of long-wear lipstick formulas, which tend to be more drying, and use lip gloss instead.
4. Finger Facts: Wear gloves and mittens! Covering your hands when you're outdoors will help curb moisture loss.
