Winter is the season for chapped lips and dry skin.
Giving your skin a little extra attention can help provide relief from the dryness caused by exposure to the elements and spending extra time indoors with the thermostat turned up. Dr. Kristine Rinn, dermatology resident at University of Washington Medical Center, explains that people react differently during winter months depending on their skin types. Some people have more oils in their skin than others and are not as prone to dry skin. If you do experience dry skin, Rinn stresses the most important thing to do is moisturize it. Apply lubricants, such as lotion, several times a day, especially after bathing, to restore lost moisture.
