9. Home Remedies.
If you don’t want to run to your nearest beauty supply store to stalk up on winter creams, Dr. Gordon suggests using petroleum jelly as a moisturizing solution for extra dry patches like your elbows and knees, and even your lips. Petroleum jelly also can help keep unruly eyebrows in order, so it’s great to have around. Products designed for children work wonders on adults too, like Nature's Baby Organics Soothing Stick for chapped and dry skin.
10. Healthy Habits.
Even just making sure to eat right and drink lots of water will help keep your skin looking great. “The skin is the largest organ, so the same things that make our bodies healthy will make our skin look healthy,” says Gordon. For most people, that means eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, moderate amounts of high quality and low fat protein and reducing or avoiding sugary sweets. Even in the winter you need to stay active, and of course, get enough sleep. “We all look better after a good night’s sleep – a fact we often forget,” says Gordon.

| I have the exact same problem. Not fun. I use Neutrogena's oil-free anti-acne moisturizer and it works wonders. You should check it out. | |

| I have dry patches on my face in the winter and my face is usually oily. Does anyone have recommendations for brands of moisturizers good for my skin type? | |

| I went skiing this past weekend an my face is ridiculously chapped. I recommend that anyone who goes skiing (or snowboarding) invest in one of those face masks. They make you look like a creeper, but they are so worth it - for keeping your skin looking good. | |
