Chill factor: Dry skin reflects less light and appears dull. Makeup can look cakey, compounding the problem.

1. Apply a creamy tinted moisturizer.
2. Blend an apricot cream blush on the apples of your cheeks.
3. Dust a translucent powder with a bit of sheen over the cream blush to set it.
4. For a very natural, three-dimensional glow, sweep an apricot powder blush from the apples of your cheeks to your temples, layering it over the cream blush.Moisture as Makeup

In the morning, apply a rich face oil on the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, even your eyelids, to give your complexion a subtly dewy finish. Oils that come in stick form, like Boom! by Cindy Joseph Boomstick Glo, make the process easy.The Key To Lush Lipcolor

Lipstick looks terrible on lips cracked by cold and wind. So before bed, smooth them by mixing sugar with olive oil and rubbing it on your mouth. Wash that off and then apply a petrolatum-based balm like Aquaphor. In the morning, use just a tinted lip balm. For more color, layer a creamy lipstick on top. Avoid formulas with shimmer, which accentuate crepiness, and liquid stains, which aggravate dryness.Shiny Hair
Chill factor: Cold temperatures and dry air make hair brittle and susceptible to static.
The Secret to Silkiness

Even if your hair is fine, use conditioner every time you shampoo. To smooth thick hair, use a mask as your regular conditioner. Keep thin hair soft with a lighter, silicone-based conditioner.Silky Skin
Chill factor: Low humidity outside and dry heat inside sap moisture from the skin, leaving it flaky, rough, and red.
A Shorter Shower
Jayne Forston, MD., Dermatologist
Hometown: Anchorage, Alaska (Average winter temp: 17°F)
Hot water is drying. So is soap. When you're covered up all day, water is enough to get your arms and legs clean. Keep your showers lukewarm and lather up only the areas where you sweat.Double-Duty Protection
Eric Bernstein, MD., Dermatologist
Hometown: Ardmore, Pennsylvania (Average winter temp: 36°F)
A sunscreen with zinc or titanium dioxide protects you from the wind as well as the sun because it creates a physical barrier on top of your skin. Apply it liberally even if you're going to be outside for only a few minutes, because you're exposed to plenty of UVA light through the windows in your home, office, and car.A Refreshing Cure For Redness
Vera Kuts, Aesthetician, Ritz-Carlton Spa
Hometown: Moscow (Average winter temp: 22°F)
Steep chamomile in hot water, then make ice cubes from the infusion. Before you moisturize, gently run one of the cubes over your face. The chamomile, a natural anti-inflammatory, can help reduce redness; the ice also calms inflammation.The Fastest Way To A Smooth Body

Use a salt scrub on your dry skin before you turn on the shower. Look for a formula that contains oil. When you rinse the scrub, leave on some of the oil. After your shower, apply lotion while your skin is still damp to trap the moisture.
