Keep Hydrated
First of all, make sure that you’re drinking enough water. Not only is this great for your whole body, but it will also help to improve blood circulation to the skin, thereby preventing wrinkles! During the summer it’s a lot easier to remember to drink it, so make a mental note to do so throughout the day during the colder months. Make sure that you’re using a hydrating moisturizer instead of a gel one, which may be perfect for the summer but won’t be quite intense enough to make your skin feel good through winter. Before bed, use a night cream and eye cream so you’ll wake up feeling fresh and happy. If you think your skin looks really tired, check out ideas from KitagawaDermatology.com/botox/.

Protect Your Skin
Obviously you wear sunscreen all summer, right? You better wear it all summer, anyway! It’s important that you protect yourself carefully from those damaging ultraviolet rays that can make your skin dry and lacking in brightness. But during the winter, a lot of people assume that they no longer need sunscreen – but this is absolutely not the case. The winter sun is just as damaging as the summer sun, so it’s important that you apply a layer of sunscreen before you put on your makeup, or that you use foundation or moisturizer with a high SPF. During the winter you should also make sure that you cover up your skin to protect it from the horrible weather – pull a hat over your forehead and make sure that you wear gloves to protect the delicate skin on the back of your hands from cracking and bleeding.

Use Makeup Cleverly
Makeup is one of the best ways for you to make sure that your skin is flawless all year round. First of all, make sure that you’ve moisturized – then use a primer intended for dewy skin, making sure that you rub it into your pores to give your skin an even, smooth finish. This will help you to apply your foundation perfectly. Go for a beauty blender or a makeup sponge to help blend it into your hairline and over your nose, particularly if you’re using a high coverage foundation. You should also make sure that you’re using the right shade of foundation for the time of year – you might need a lighter one than you do in the summer. Use a lighter concealer under your eyes and down the bridge of your nose and up into the center of your forehead, and blend with your beauty blender. Highlighting and strobing is one of the biggest trends lately. In order to do it right, consider which parts of your face the light is likely to hit, and add highlighter there. Your brow bone, the top of your cheekbone, the tip of your nose and the bow of your lips are all safe bets. If you want a more summery glow, go for a highlighter with gold in it, or maybe iridescent white and violet if you’re looking to be more of a winter ice queen.
