My face has felt like dry plastic when getting out of the shower lately. Must still be winter. Because skin is much more sensitive in cold, dry months (hello breakouts, welcome back– I still despise you), I wanted to share a regimen that I like to follow to keep my skin healthy and hydrated in the winter.
