How to tackle dry skin when temperatures drop

Multiple factors cause dry skin in the colder seasons, from the brisk cold wind to the change of humidity when the indoor heating system is switched on.

With a basic knowledge and a bit of patience, you can quickly put an end to flakey or oily skin.

First, strip the dry skin cells, grit, and excess oils built up within the pores of your skin. You can do this by using a facial cleanser when you wash your face at the end of the day.

Once stripped back, you can hydrate your skin and apply a protective moisturizer, forming a barrier between your skin and the harsh weather conditions.

Here are our top picks of facial cleansers and moisturizers that you might want to include in your skincare routine.

Cleanser 

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser

Cleanse your skin and remove the dead skin cells, grit and oils left that build up throughout the day. Apply when washing your face at the beginning and end of the day. The formula will cause a foamy texture to get into the small pores, leaving a clean slate for your moisturizer to form a protective barrier.
