As the seasons change and the weather grows colder, the air also begins to change. The air becomes crisper and drier, meaning one's skin will begin to feel the effects of the weather shift.

  Drier weather equals drier skin, which is never the best feeling. Dry skin is caused by many different factors, but in winter months it is due to the change in temperature.

  One way to keep skin feeling plumped is to double up on moisturizer. Everyone should always use a standard moisturizer to keep their skin soft. This can help keep the oils in your face balanced.

  Another product to use is sunscreen. In the winter, being outside in the sun is pretty rare, but sunscreen has so many benefits that it is completely worth using. The conception that sunscreen is strictly for sun blockage is false, in the sun or not, sunscreen will continue to better the skin.

  “Everyday in the summer, my mom makes sure that I have my sunscreen on,” said Mckenzie Eisenriech, senior.

  Along with keeping the face moisturized, another skincare tip to make the winter months better is masks. There are hundreds of different face masks out in the world, and there is one for any concern you have. If someone’s skin is looking a little dull, there are tons of masks in different forms to help.

  Sheet masks are masks made out of a cotton-like sheet saturated in the product. These are

typically better for people who do not like the hard feeling of clay masks, or if they are too lazy to peel off a mask.

  “Sheet masks are the best masks. They look kind of weird, but they are my favorite masks to use. I feel like they really get the job done,” said Eisenriech.

  Clay masks are typically better for teenage skin because they are usually geared towards problematic skin. The hormones of teenagers are running haywire, and clay masks are the perfect thick product that can slow down the crazy changes.

  Peel off masks are masks that are meant to help extract dirt from the pores in the face. These masks are most likely used to pull out blackheads or whiteheads in the nose pores.

  Having a set skin care regime is probably one of the most important things in the world. Keeping up with your skin can dramatically increase how someone feels about themselves, how they view themselves, and how they act. Confidence can change a person’s attitude.

  This winter, having a set skin care routine to demolish concerns should be a top priority.
