Get your face and body ready for spring.
As the days get longer and temperatures begin to climb, off go the sweaters and boots and on go the shorts and sandals.
But it's likely your skin is still crying out with the winter blues -- dry, scaly, rough, spots on heels, knees, and elbows as well as stressed- out, overheated, undernourished skin on your face and body.
The good news: The best place to start, say experts, is with a head-to-toe moisture treatment -- and you don't need high-priced products to do the job right.
What to avoid: Scrubs that contain walnut shells or apricot pits which can cause microscopic tears in the skin, even brown sugar scrubs can be too harsh. This effect can ultimately make dry winter skin look and feel much worse, especially on your face,
Instead try a cleanser or moisturizer containing an alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acid which is a much safer way to rid your skin of those dull, dead cells.
Cleansing, toning, and moisturizing twice daily, every day, and adding a facial steam with or without a mask about once weekly is probably one of the easiest ways to ease skin into spring and summer.
Finding the right cleanser is also key. Knowing your skin type -- oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone, or menopausal -- and choosing the mildest cleanser you can find, choosing a masque the same way.
