My skin always feels too tight after I wash it...

Cold winter weather can really dry out your skin. To fight the freezing temps, cleanse twice daily with a moisturizing or gentle cleanser, like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. Moisturizer is a must! Make sure you lube up twice a day, after your a.m. and p.m. wash, with a moisturizer that has an SPF of 15 (try Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion with SPF 15). Your morning application will protect your face against the outside frost, plus, make putting on makeup a breeze — it lets makeup glide on smoother and keeps it on longer. Lathering on the lotion before bed saturates your skin while you snooze and helps combat the dry air emitted from in-home heaters. You should also cut down on drying acne treatments, like cleansers with salicylic acid, until your face feels rehydrated. If your fronting more serious signs of dehydration — red, itchy patches — heal it with a hydrocortisone cream for sensitive skin. Remember, beauty starts within — quench your thirst, inside and out, with at least 6-8 glasses of H₂O each day.
