But Baby It's Cold Outside

I have sensitive skin to begin with. So, when the winter months come blustering in, my skin has to be prepared. Here are some commandments I have made for myself to prevent my face and body from turning in to a giant piece of sandpaper.
1. Do not wear clothing that will irritate my skin.
2. Wash with warm water, not hot. (no matter how cold it is outside!)
3. Use a moisturing face wash followed by a moisturizing lotion every morning.
4. Limit exfoliating face wash use to once a week.
5. Lotion my body after every shower, no matter how tired I am.
6. Use a mask once a week on my face.
7. Use a deep moisturizing cream on troubled spots at night.
8. Use lip balm (my favorite is Burt's Bees)
9. Use lotion and make-up that contains sunscreen.
10. Drink plenty of water to keep my skin and body hydrated.
