Cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin, especially those areas that are constantly exposed to the elements such as hands, face, and lips. While a good moisturizing routine can help combat against variable weather conditions, other dryness-inducing culprits may be irritating your skin, despite your best moisturizing efforts.  Understanding what causes dry, chapped lips and hands and adding the right products to your moisturizing routine can help alleviate dryness and irritation and help reveal soft, beautiful skin. Dehydration Dehydration can have serious ramifications for your overall health, not just your lips and skin. Not drinking enough water can result in dry, irritated skin. Fortunately, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is an easy way to not only maintain your overall health but also protect against dry skin and lips. While water intake is unique to each individual, that adage of eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is a good goa...

The skin care industry tends to focus on the face, with issues like acne, dryness, signs of aging, and more. But the rest of your skin needs care too. Your hands can be a sensitive area, prone to infection, heavily used throughout the day, and often drier. Here are a variety of common issues and easy ways to treat them throughout the day. Dryness Because your hands can be more sensitive than other areas, regularly hydrating your hands with glycerin is essential to prevent cracking or peeling. If you struggle with eczema or psoriasis, an unscented vitamin E lotion is your best bet for soothing easily irritated skin. Glycerin lotion is the best for dry hands because it locks in the moisture that it deposits. Filled with humectants, glycerin attracts water from the air and retains it in the skin. Maintaining the water balance encourages healthier and stronger skin. Keep a pot of lotion at your desk at work or throw one in your bag to keep your hands moisturized throug...

As you pull out your favorite sweaters and store your sundresses, summer is quickly transitioning into fall. Your skin might still be recovering from the effects of increased sun exposure and the heat. Just like you transition your closet toward a different season, it’s important to take a good look at your skin care routine and recognize how your needs change. Here are a handful of home spa rituals to introduce to your autumn care routine to nourish and hydrate your skin at every level. Thicker Lotion While summer weather calls for lightweight lotions and hydrating serums, drier and colder fall conditions require more moisture for your skin from head to toe. Creamy glycerin lotion made with sweet almond oil and cucumber extract deliver the potent moisture your skin craves to heal from the summer sun and dryness of fall. While your face might need a lighter lotion or oil, your hands, feet, and elbows need a high-performance cream with a thicker formula.  Ap...

Caring for sensitive skin can be difficult when searching for products that actually work. While most skincare is focused on the face, the rest of the body needs and deserves the same attention when it comes to formulas, best production practices, and routines.

For extra hydration, imm...
