Are you using a moisturizer?

Are you using Vaseline?

Are you protecting yourself from the sun during winter?

Are you protecting your hands during winter?

Are you taking vitamin D supplements?

You should keep using a moisturizer during the winter can be so effective because that can help trap needed moisture in your skin. You should look for those with shea butter, olive oil, jojoba oil, or mineral oil. You should try CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, Eucerin Moisturizing Face Lotion or Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream.

Vaseline is an effective moisturizing product that can be used as an everyday moisturizer. Vaseline creates a barrier that helps skin retain moisture while it prevents bacteria and other elements from getting in. You should apply a thin layer before you go outside in the winter to protect your skin from windburn and other harsh elements. If extreme temperatures have given you dry skin in winter, you should look for Vaseline Intensive Care™ Cocoa Radian.

You definitely need to cover your face and start using a petroleum-based lip balm, because skin protectants that include petroleum and creams with ceramides are effective as well.

You need to know that winter sun can also be dangerous to the skin. You should wear sunscreen of 15 or greater even in the winter if you plan to be outdoors for prolonged periods. Try La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer UV or Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Dry Touch.

You should protect your hands from the elements by wearing mittens or gloves whenever you go outside. You should also apply a non greasy moisturizer after washing your hands with a natural soap because it will keep your skin feeling smooth. You should try eos Shea Better Hand Cream, Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Hand Cream or L’Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream, 5.2 fl. oz.

You should continue taking it because this vitamin plays an integral role in skin protection and rejuvenation.

During the summer, your natural vitamin D production increases as a result of daily sun exposure, but when winter rolls around that exposure decreases.
