The weather outside is frightful, so here's 4 helpful tips to keep your skin delightful.

Winter air brings a lot more than just rosy colored cheeks. The cold winds bring dry, flakey skin. At Aesthetica Chicago, we offer complementary skin consultations. This is a great way to identify your skin type and find the best products for your skin.

1.Get into a good skin care regimen! The weather changes and so should your skin care routine. In the winter months, drier skin needs creamy cleansers and really good moisturizers. Good moisturizers should help form a protective barrier against harsh weather. Don't forget to exfoliate! You should exfoliate twice a week. This allows the skin to shed dead skin cells and in return it will absorb more moisture.

2.Never leave home without your SPF on! Just because its cloudy out does not mean the sun went away. Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to your face and hands about 30 minutes before you leave the house.

3.Moisturize the air around your home! Dry air is a large contributor to dull looking skin. Try sleeping with a humidifier on in your bedroom. This will help your skin to stay hydrated.

4.Don't forget your hands!
The skin on your hands have fewer oil glands than most parts of the body, making it harder to keep them moisturized. So after you wash, towel dry and apply a heavy cream.
