How to prep winter skin for the arrival of spring? We spoke to New York City dermatologist Patricia Wexler.
After months of snow, slush, and frigid temperatures, spring is finally on the horizon. Winter has left the building , taking with it our dreary moods and dry, itchy skin. And while we’ve spent the first part of 2019warmer air and increased humidity mean our skin is about to be in for a shock. How, then, to prep the face for sunnier days ahead? We spoke to New York City dermatologist Patricia Wexler, M.D., for her tips on getting healthy, gorgeous skin just in time for summer.
Quite possibly the most important piece of the puzzle is spring-cleaning. “Throw out anything over six months old,” advises Wexler, who adds that old products can host a buildup of bacteria, leading to clogged pores and dull skin. Makeup brushes, too, are often overlooked, and can store unwanted germs and viruses. Wexler recommends washing brushes at least once a week with regular hand soap and drying them with a blow-dryer.
Luckily, summer’s makeup routine is perennially simple, and tinted moisturizer makes a perfect substitute for a heavy foundation. Wexler’s final piece of advice for healthy skin? “Carry makeup wipes everywhere you go,” she says. Here’s hoping the chance to do so will come sooner rather than later.
