The cold weather is here and I am sure your skin is really feeling it. Just like our clothing choices, our skin care routine needs to change with the weather. We often neglect our nails and cuticles when caring for our skin, but at this time of year- the cold and wind can make them dry and crack. Below are some tips for keeping them happy and healthy during these cold, bitter months.

Keep them clean! Use unscented soap and warm (not hot) water to wash your hands. Scented soaps and lotions can strip your hands of their natural oils.

Avoid biting and picking! Your hands are already fighting the weather and wind- don’t make matters worse!

Stay moisturized! Moisturize your hands throughout the day- especially after washing! A great product to use for moisture is our Aveda Beautifying Composition Oil.
