How to keep your skin glowing all winter

  Don't let harsh, bleak winter weather leave your skin looking the same way! Make your skin glow all year long with these 3 simple steps.

Here's how: 

1. Exfoliate. While exfoliating at least twice a week is super important for fresh, glowing skin, you still must be careful when doing so. Over-scrubbing will strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving your face super dry and dull-looking. What's worse, you skin may overcompensate by producing extra oil, causing you to break out. To ensure this doesn't happen, use products with round granules rather than sharp ones that will create tiny tears in the skin. Also, make sure to scrub gently by cleansing in a circular motion starting at the jawline and working your way up.

2. Moisturize. Use a heavier, age-defying moisturizer at night and a lighter one with SPF during the day Make sure to use oil-free products if you're acne-prone. And don't forget about moisturizing your neck as well! Also, make sure to dot an eye cream in the morning and at night all around the eye bone to prevent lines from forming.
