Between heading out on dog walks, running errands around town, shovelling snow and scraping ice off the car, and generally breathing drier air from central heating (the joys of living in Canada, eh?), my skin always takes a beating this time of year. I protect my face and hands as best as I can from the cold and harsh wind with warm clothing (hello balaklavas, tuques, scarves, thick gloves and heat-holding socks), but I still cannot escape dealing with dry skin. With frigid weather settling in, I've brought my reparative skincare must-haves to the front of my vanity. These are products I have used for the past few years, and I can attest that they have made a difference in keeping my skin less irritated from the elements.
