In the cold winter months there is no such thing as too much moisturizer. Battling the elements outside and dealing with the dry heat indoors can leave skin parched. Use a good night moisturizer before you hit the sack and a lighter moisturizer for day time, plus don’t forget the delicate area around the eye calls for some added moisture. Same goes for lips – apply a good lip balm at night and underneath makeup in the morning.

It’s a must for dry skin. Before applying foundation use a face primer to plump up the skin and allow foundation to glide on smoothly. You can even mix the primer in with your foundation to save time.

During the dry months of winter powdered foundation is a big no no. Instead opt for a liquid, or cream foundation that will provide extra moisture to the skin. Apply with a dampened beauty blender by pressing the foundation into your skin, and if your face is extremely dry try adding in a tiny amount of vitamin E oil, almond oil or argan oil.

With the rest of your body looking so pale, go easy on bronzer. Instead opt for a blush – a cream blush will give dry skin more of a glow than a powdered blush – and cream blush is less likely to settle in the cracks of dry skin.
