If you're like me, cold weather tends to make you lazy. Who wants to
do anything in the winter except snuggle under a warm blanket and watch
TV? The laziness also extends to beauty regimens - most people don't
want to spend any extra time moisturizing but this might change your
mind:
When asked by
Allure magazine what her beauty secret was, Demi Moore said, "I moisturize, moisturize, moisturize..."

| Clearly,
moisturizer is not the ONLY thing that has made Demi Moore look 37 for
the last decade... but any piece of advice from age-defying Demi is
worth taking. |

During the winter, keeping your skin and
body hydrated could prevent early wrinkles. Hydrating keeps skin supple
and maintains elasticity. That said, here are five products you should
never skimp on during the colder months:
1.
Eye cream
- Even if you're too young for wrinkles, the skin around your eyes
needs some extra hydration to keep it smooth and soft when it's cold
out.

2.
Body cream
- Definitely apply lotion right after a shower, the best time for skin
to absorb it. Use a creamier formula rather than a lighter one for
maximum hydration.

3.
Hand and foot cream
- You probably noticed that your hands and feet get drier during the
winter, especially since most people wash their hands excessively to
avoid catching colds or the flu. Apply hand cream every time you wash
your hands and keep travel sized tubes in your purse for on-the-go
application.
4.
Face moisturizer
- Gloves cover your hands, boots cover your feet, a hat covers your
head and clothes cover your body but unless you wear a ski mask every
day, your face is more exposed to the cold air than the rest of your
body. Choose a richer face moisturizer for the winter than you would use
in the summer or, if you can afford it, have one for daytime and a
richer one for night.

5.
Leave-in conditioner
- Cold weather wreaks havoc on hair. Make sure to use a leave-in
conditioner to help hair stay soft instead of drying out and turning
into straw.
