Sponsored content & giveaway

Taking care of your skin is important year-long, but during the dryer, colder winter months, it’s extra important to properly nourish and care for your skin. If you live in areas prone to colder weather, this is even more important. With the use of a few winter skin care tips, your skin doesn’t have to suffer much during the winter months, though. Check out these simple tips for taking care of your skin this winter and then read on for a fun giveaway that will help you nourish your skin and keep it healthy the rest of the year!

Simple Winter Skin Care Tips for Healthy Skin All Year Long

(*Some tips provided by Eucerin US)

  1. Save the long relaxing bath for the spring. Bathing for long periods in hot water can cause skin to lose natural oils and nutrients, so Eucerin suggests you take short showers in lukewarm water.
  2. Get plenty of rest. It seems sleep is ultra-important all-around for just about everything our body needs and our skin is no exception, as a full night’s sleep helps your skin look its best.
  3. Keep your hands moisturized. Use a lotion like Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Creme after washing your hands with a gentle soap and lukewarm water to relieve dryness.
  4. If in the cold, wear gloves. Protect your hands from the cold weather by wearing gloves when outside – keep an extra pair in your purse for easy access!
  5. Protect your feet too! Help repair and nourish heels and feet with a foot lotion like Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Foot Creme, which you can apply at night before going to sleep.
  6. Clean and moisturize before bed. I like to wash my face at night and apply a face moisturizer before heading to bed. I know my face won’t be facing much at night, so it’s a great time for it to recover and soak up all that moisturizer.

    In the winter, I use lotion and chap stick to keep my skin moistened. I also wear gloves when it’s cold enough in Florida. 🙂

  4. Jen says

    When it gets cold, my hands get chapped. So I put on a thick cream moisturizer and then gloves to sleep in. I look like a goof, but it helps my hands.

  7. Margaret Smith says

    I find that if I drink lots of water during the winter, my skin doesn’t seem to get as dry.

  13. ALPA says

    Winter Skin care tip- sunscreen isn’t just for summertime. Winter sun — combined with snow glare — can still damage your skin. Try applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face and your hands (if they’re exposed) about 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply frequently if you stay outside a long time.

  27. Peter G says

    I always use sun screen and screen for my lips. Even use sun screen on my feet . Living in Florida, you are never safe enough from the sun.

  30. Heather Hayes Panjon says

    My Favorite Skincare Tip For Winter Is To Moisturize Daily And Drink Lot’s Of Water To Hydrate Skin For Glowing Results!

  38. Maria J. says

    My winter skin care tip is to exfoliate the body and even the lips for smooth skin that is isn’t dehydrated and also to moisturize right after exfoliating.

  42. Deb C says

    Before I put on my outdoor gloves, I put on a good layer of moisturizer. So, while my hands are staying warm inside the gloves they are also getting a good moisturizing treatment.

  66. Sharon Rooney says

    I drink lots of water and moisturize in the morning after my shower and before I go to bed.

  71. Suzanna Pickering says

    NY winters are hard on skin -i use lots of hand cream-drink lots of water and shovel lots of snow

  81. Vicki Wurgler says

    the only tip I have is to use a heavy lotion during the winter months and I use that while my skin is still damp from the shower

  89. Elena says

    My tip is to use body lotion every morning after shower and in the evening to keep your skin soft and smooth

  93. Suzanne K says

    put lotion on your feet (and hands if you’d like) and put socks (and cotton gloves) on before going to bed. You’ll wake up with soft and moisturized skin

  99. Danielle says

    Always moisturize your body daily and for your face, I like to do it twice a day – once in the morning and once before bed. I also make sure to put on lip balm when going outside and wear gloves to protect your hands from the gold weather!

  100. Geoff K says

    My best tip for keeping the skin moisturized in the winter, besides using a good moisturizer of course, is to invest in a humidifier and put plants with large leaves about the house — the combination really does wonders!

  103. Tari Lawson says

    I use Gold Bond foot cream and a pumice to keep my feet from being dry and cracked in the winter.

  111. Kimberly snyder says

    I exfoliate once a week, use plenty of great moisturizer like my favorite Eucerin, and Lip Balm is a must

  112. Melissa L says

    During the winter time I try not warm showers (instead of hot), drink lots of water, and lots of Eucerin a bed time and then in the morning. This minimizes my winter rashes I get on the back and arms. Would love to win 🙂

  117. mickeyfan says

    I have already noticed that it’s time to cut back on the heat level of the shower….and get out sooner. My husband has fingers that crack, and his tip is to use Super Glue to seal them when they do.

  118. DESIREE H says

    1. Following you on Twitter! (@heavensangel238)
    Thank you and Eucerin so much for this giveaway!!

  123. Shannon S. says

    my favorite tip is one I have been using for years, when my hands are really dry I put Eucerin on and then socks, it keeps the cream on and the heat helps the cream soak into my skin

  129. ellen beck says

    One of my skin tips is drink plenty of water and eat right because what you put on the inside shows on the ooutside!

  139. REBECCA PIERSON says

    i follow on twitter, like on fb and i use thick lotions in the winter, drink lots of water and vaseline is great too!!

  152. Tracy López says

    My skin is so dry this winter! My best tip is to exfoliate and moisturize consistently. Now that I’m older, if I skip a day, I can tell. Also, drink plenty of water!

    Thanks for the great giveaway! Eucerin is powerful stuff! (And I love those Brookside chocolate-covered berries. I get those sometimes, too.)

  155. Julie says

    My feet get horribly dry in the winter-so I put on lotion and wear socks to bed helps immensely thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  172. Katie Roch says

    My favorite winter skin care tip is to take a skin, hair and nail vitamin to help your skin from the inside out.

  179. Sara M says

    I moisturize as soon as I get out of the shower when my skin is still warm & damp. It absorbs lotion like a sponge & stays soft all day.

  198. Jennifer R. says

    My favorite winter skin care tip is to continue to wear sunscreen daily and to moisturize just as often.

  202. tina reynolds says

    make sure your getting plenty of water also especially like here in MN try and not have any exposed skin when you have to go out

  216. Susan Smith says

    I just drink alot of water, use chapstick with sunscreen and wear a moisturizer every day.

  223. Mary Cloud says

    To keep feet soft put lotion on them and then add socks before going to bed at night

  225. Jamie C. says

    My Winter Skincare Tip is not to use really hot water when cleansing the body or washing the face because it will make it even more dry to the point that it cracks. Another tip is to make it a habit to exfoliate 2 times a week to avoid dry patches.

  231. Tracy Allen says

    Lukewarm shower and lots of moisturizer before bed
    Also a glass of water last thing at night and frist thing in the morning

  239. Stephanie Larison says

    The link took me right to the facebook page, not a community page, but I liked the ModernMami.com facebook page.

  241. Karen Gonyea says

    Turn down the heat in the shower – if the water is too hot, it will rob your skin of moisture 🙂

  248. Nancy says

    I try to remember to always wear gloves no matter how inconvenient it is so that my hands don’t get chapped and crack.

  260. christy colln says

    moisturize daily and often…my lips are hating life right now because I am not used to this weather…southern CA living for 21 years is a bit different from 7 inches of snow and temps in the teens..I am freezing!

  271. Crystal F says

    My main problem in the cold are my lips. I try to always have chapstick with me. I reapply it as needed which is usually pretty often. thank you!

  279. Andrina G says

    I moisturize twice daily during the winter to avoid drying out. I keep lotion in my desk drawer at work.

  286. Sharon says

    My hands get dry, red, and irritated in winter, especially after washing dishes or being in the cold, though I do wear gloves; so I’ve been using Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Creme for the last two winters and it really works better than anything else I have ever tried.

  296. Bryan E. says

    Thanks for the giveaway…we use a body oil a few times a week in the winter (i.e. a light sesame oil) after showering.
