Patch Blog: Soothe Winter Dry Skin with Steam!

A warm bath or hot shower will open up your pores and let the moisture in while allowing your skin to soak up a heavy dose of moisturizer during the cold months of winter.

Steam your way to soothe and soften dry skin. Dry weather can wreak havoc on our skin during the cold days of winter.  Although snuggling up to a warm fire or cranking the heat up to 72 sounds like a great way to get comfy, it can also be a leading way to dry out your skin.

Set your sights on a hot bath, or a long steamy shower on a cold winter's night to embrace your body with moisture.  The warm temperature will open up your pores and allow your body to accept a luxurious dose of a good body moisturizer--my favorite Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion by Exuviance is a great way to lather up with a helping of serious humectants. Their patented ingredient, Gluconolactone, along with Vitamins A and E, provide triple-antioxidant protection making it ideal for all skin types and recommended by most local dermatologists.

A soothing soak at bedtime not only aids dry skin, but will also help soothe the soul. Take 10 minutes each night to soak your troubles away, allowing your mind and body to unwind from the daily stresses that life can bring.  Then treat your skin to a double dose of lotion and wrap it in a wonderful soft blanket for a night of sweet dreams.
