Dry Weather, Dry Skin

It's a cold winter day and you take a step outside. As you're looking around you see dry grass, the streets are covered in a white ash and the wind is howling...

Winter is a season that many people enjoy. Whether it's snowball fights, sledding, ice skating or even taking a stroll around the park; people always seem to enjoy themselves during the most wonderful time of the year. One cold winter morning you wake up and go to your bathroom mirror and notice that your skin is dry.

The winter weather can take a toll on our skin. Cold howling wind can damage skin by drying it out. Dry skin can easily tear or feel tight. As you guessed, it isn't healthy for the skin. Keeping your skin moisturized is a HUGE must when winter rolls around. Below I will leave a couple tips on how to keep your skin moisturized during this cold season.

Tip#1

Vaseline

Put Vaseline on your face before going out inside. Vaseline protects the skin from harsh winds and keeps your face warm while you walk in the cold weather.

Tip#2

Moisturize After Showers

People tend to like hot showers, especially during winter. As the hot water hits our skin; it is also stripping us of our natural oils. Using raw shea butter or any other natural ingredient is always what's best on your skin. From experience, I would try avoiding less moisturizing products such as Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret and Jergens; these brands use alcohol in their products which is not really helping our skin during these days of need.

Tip #3

Dress Appropriately

Wrapping your face with a scarf, and wearing both a coat and gloves will keep your skin safe from the harsh conditions of winter. Protecting your skin before the wind gets to it is a very smart move to avoid dry skin.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
