Wintertime

This season is the hardest on skin.  The air is drier and our skin gets very dry because of it.

If you suffer from oily skin, maybe this isn’t as big of an issue for you.  Still, you may notice certain parts of your body get drier than when the air is humid.  On the other hand, if you already have dry skin, now it’s even drier and that doesn’t feel good.  You itch – ALL THE TIME!
