Winter is on the horizon, which means colder temperatures and dry skin. Dry outside air combined with warm, dry indoor air drains moisture and can cause our skin to become dry, flaky, itchy, dull, rough and even cracked. Not glamorous at all. The good news is that there are easy and affordable steps we can take now and throughout winter to ensure healthier, more comfortable skin long into spring.
My absolute favorite moisturizer for dry skin is AmLactin. AmLactin Alpha-Hydroxy Therapy Moisturizing Lotion made our list of top beauty products to try in 2014 and we have been using it every since. The entire AmLactin family of moisturizers contains alpha-hydroxy therapy, which gently exfoliates dry, dead skin cells, and intensely hydrates. Creamy emollients help skin retain moisture, and rich humectants draw water to the skin so it looks and feels soft and smooth.
