Keeping skin soft and supple is more about what you’re not doing than doing something wrong. Discover the five culprits ruining your routine and how to fix them.

Mistake #1: Unintentional Dehydration
It’s not the temperature that decides how much your skin care regimen should change, it’s the wind and humidity levels. During the brisk winter months, a thick, emollient hydrator will last the day and provide skin with protection from the elements.

Tip: Even during the winter months, drinking water throughout the day will help combat unintentional dehydration too!

Mistake #2: Using Powdered Formulas
During the “-ary” months, switch to cream foundations and eyeshadows in lieu of traditional powder formulas. This will help maintain your look against the winter elements. I love using COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation and COVERGIRL Bombshell ShineShadow by LashBlast.

Tip: Just like foundations, switching blush from powder to cream makes skin look plumper, more youthful and more hydrated. Sweep on a little cream blush using a synthetic brush on the apples of the cheeks for a pop of color.
