When the weather's frosty and dry, skin becomes dryer, flakier and more irritated. So how is it that some women look so darn supple and healthy, even in the dead of winter, while you're all dry and chapped? We're here to help with 10 tremendous tips to keeping beautiful in winter.

Hello! This means that even if you're at home, driving or in the office by a window, you'll need full-spectrum (both UVA and UVB) coverage. This is true on even the cloudiest winter days.

Don't linger in the bath or shower: Healthy skin has a protective superficial layer called the stratum corneum ‑- essentially, a natural "lipid barrier," and as temperature and humidity drop, this natural barrier becomes vulnerable to damage. So forgo prolonged bathing, especially with hot water, because the water will sap moisture from this superficial layer, leaving the skin drier, flakier and more susceptible to damage and irritation.
