Winter brings cold temperatures, strong winds and decreased humidity --- all of which can leave your skin feeling dry, tight and sore. During the winter months, there’s less moisture in the air and your skin’s natural oils can be blown away by the wind. When you combine that with central heating (which is very drying) you have a recipe for blotchy and itchy skin. Skincare regimens are seasonal and it’s import to adjust your routine as the seasons change. Everyone, including those with oily skin, should reassess their skincare routine at this time of year to allow for the season's drying effect.

A recent article on AOL News shows how pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and cranberries can all be used as affordable moisturizing bases for at-home, do-it-yourself skin care treatments.
