1. Hydrate. If you seem to be cursed with chapped lips during the cold winter months, be sure to drink plenty of water. Not only is it good for your overall complexion, but getting plenty of fluids will keep your lips soft. According to Harvard Health Publishing, you should probably be gulping down four to six cups of water daily.

1. Moisturize. Never underestimate the power of a good moisturizer. Dermatologists and makeup artists recommend it for helping to prevent uncomfortable and flaky dry skin. Try Christina Moss Naturals Facial Moisturizer which has rave reviews on Amazon or It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Super Cream which is favorite pick on Ulta.

2. Eat Healthy. With the holidays, it can sometimes be easy to get off track with your diet. Try to eat foods high in Omega-3 Fats such as nuts, fish, and avocado. WebMD.com shares that Omega-3 Fats have many benefits including fighting wrinkles and being anti-inflammatory.

3. Wear Sunscreen. Even in the wintertime, it’s important to protect your skin from the sun. In a Huffington Post article, Alex A. Khadavi,  Advanced Skin & Hair founder, said that reflection of radiation from snow requires aggressive sunscreen protection, especially if they participate in activities such as snowboarding and skiing.
