Physically. Cold air can dry out skin. Overheated rooms and scratchy wool clothes can worsen conditions such as dermatitis. To restore your skin's natural moisture, try an invigorating exfoliating scrub once a month, says dermatologist Carolyn Jacob, MD. A routine often neglected in cold-weather months, sloughing off dead skin cells makes way for plumper, moisture-packed cells underneath. While you're in the shower, gently rub on a mild exfoliating product made with sugar or microbeads, and rinse thoroughly. While you're still damp, seal in the moisture with a body lotion that contains shea butter, glycerin, ceramides, or stearic acid.
Mentally Holiday stress can take a toll, too, by raising levels of the hormone cortisol, which can increase oil production. That can lead to breakouts in people prone to acne.
