These light mists are mainly water based and have a bunch of minerals to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Not only do these help with dry skin but they’re perfect for the summer or any spring break destinations you are thinking of traveling to.

It’s a win-win!!

Body Scrubs
Let’s be honest. Dry skin is not fun not matter what season it is. By adding one little step to your shower routine, you are guaranteed to have smoother and soft skin this winter. Body scrubs are extremely helpful for exfoliating the skin and removing any dead skin cells. I know it sounds gross but you’ll thank us later! Often times, the dry skin we see is really dead skin cells that just need to be cleared. By rubbing a body scrub into your skin, you are allowing for new skin cells to surface faster for healthier looking skin. However, with any good exfoliation, there should be a great moisturizer that follows. Be sure not to abuse these scrubs, there are some that are less abrasive that can be used daily and others that should only be used 3-4 times per week (check the labels just to make sure). Â
Popular scrubs include St. Ives, The Body Shop, Soap & Glory, etc.
