Masks That Will Keep Your Face Glowy and Dewy During The Dry and Cold Months
By Claudia Langella
Unfortunately, it is almost that time of year––dry skin season, that is. We wait for the arrival of winter all year long because there are so many fun things to look forward to: snow days, holiday parties, gift giving… Although the holiday season is going to look a little different this year, the one thing that’s going to stay the same is the arrival of super dry skin. Depending on your skin type, some dryness can cause so much uncomfortable pain, which is why it’s important to prepare for this season.
According to Penn Medicine, what causes your skin to flake and itch during the winter is the lack of moisture in the air. It’s also caused by the amount of dry air that comes from indoor furnaces. Moisture in the upper layer of the skin is lost, causing you to dry out.
As we prepare for dry skin season, make sure to stock up on some seriously hydrating face masks that promise to revitalize and save your skin from the wintery weather! You won’t want to harm your skin with harsh chemicals, which is why we’ve rounded up some pretty great products that will help your complexion during these months!
