SURVIVAL GUIDE
Noticing a few changes to your complexion this time of year? You’re not alone. Skin is hydrated primarily
from the outside rather than the inside, which means climate plays an important role. Fight back against
winter skin woes with a few simple changes to your routine; use this handy how-to survival guide to combat
some of the season’s worst-case scenarios. Mother Nature has officially met her match.
1
HOW TO defy dull skin.
With dryness and weather, your
skin’s natural shedding process
is more visible. If dry, flaky skin
is getting you down, try gentle
exfoliation to clear the clutter
and reveal a younger-looking
complexion. Expert tip: Not all
skin is created equally. Use a
combination of macro- and micro-exfoliation tools, along
with gentle exfoliating skincare products targeted for
specific areas of skin, including lips, face and body,
and leave the dullness to your kitchen knives. If, in
addition to dullness, your skin has you seeing red, try a
moisturizer with peptides to build up your skin’s barrier.

HOW TO prevent raccoon eyes.
Raccoon eyes can be the unfortunate consequence of
ski goggles and high-altitude sun exposure. Seasoned
skiers come prepared with a generous amount of
broad spectrum sunscreen over all exposed skin.
Don’t forget to repeat throughout the day. Expert tip: To
make reapplication easier, be like MacGyver and use
a sunscreen stick on the face and neck, so you can
keep your gloves on—and the sun off.
3
HOW TO lock in moisture.
Taking long showers and soaking in hot tubs won’t
hydrate your skin. Instead, take quick, lukewarm
showers and apply a heavy moisturizer to damp skin
immediately afterwards. Maintain a skin-friendly
environment indoors by using a humidifier to keep the
humidity around 50%. If winter dryness still tries to
make its mark, outwit your environment by applying a
moisture replenishing cream in the cover of night.
4
HOW TO beat winter blues.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D. Syndrome) is a
form of depression that often occurs in the winter. It
affects up to 20% of people and is four times more
common in women. Because skin is a reflection of
your inner health, when you’re depressed, it often
shows on your face. Beat the winter blues with
non-UV blue light therapy for 30 minutes a day to
replicate the sun’s mood boost.
5
HOW TO toast to your health.
Ski slopes and sleigh rides
invite toasts with hot toddies
and spiced cider, but dryair-induced dehydration and
sensitivity make drinking
alcohol a risky choice. Outsmart
facial redness by sipping only
one glass of red wine before
calling it a day. If you have imbibed, halt the telltale
inflammatory cascade with a soothing lotion powered
by peptides to calm inflammation and reduce redness.
With this skincare survival guide, you’ll be well equipped to handle whatever the season throws your way.
Skin—it’s a beautiful thing. Wear it well this winter.

3. SKIN FACT VS. FICTION
With common assumptions often shared as fact, it’s no wonder we often get confused. Here’s the skin-friendly
truth behind some of the most common skin-fictions.
FICTION
“Sun exposure is the best
way to get your daily dose
of vitamin D.”
“You need to drink at
least eight glasses of
water a day to keep
skin hydrated.”
“Tanning beds are safe
because they filter out most
of the UVB burning rays.”
FACT
EXPLAINED
Get vitamin D from fortified milk,
orange juice, fatty fish or a weekly
multivitamin containing
10,000 IU of vitamin D3.
Sunlight does stimulate vitamin D
production, but the Skin Cancer
Foundation recommends getting it
from non-sun sources to reduce risk
of skin cancer.
Skin is hydrated from the outside
in, not the inside out. You need only
91 ounces of fluids a day to get your
fill and much of that comes from
foods like fruits and vegetables. Use
a moisturizer and a humidifier to
prevent skin dehydration.
You can stay hydrated with
your daily food and drinks. By
overhydrating, you could flush out
critical vitamins and electrolytes.
Getting your glow from a
bottle, tube or handheld
spray is the safest way to
simulate a tan.
Sun lamps emit significantly
greater quantities of aging UVA
rays, contributing to premature skin
aging and increasing the incidence
of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.
