March 17, 2026

Spring is here — but is your skin still stuck in winter? Cold, dry air can do a number on your body’s largest organ. These quick tips from Renown Dermatology, Laser & Skin Care will help you bounce back with soft, hydrated skin.
11 Miraculous Moisturizing Tips
- Always apply sunscreen: Wear broad-spectrum SPF, even during winter months.
☀️ Are You Using the Right Sunscreen? - Protect your lips: Don’t forget to use an SPF lip balm, too.
- Combat dry air: Heaters dry out your skin. Use a humidifier to keep moisture in the air.
- Moisturize more often: If your skin is dehydrated, try using a nighttime moisturizer during the day.
- Mask up: Use a hydrating or moisturizing mask twice a week.
- Care for hands and feet: Apply a rich cream at night and cover with gloves and socks to restore moisture while you sleep.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Boost with serum: Try adding a hydrating serum to your morning and nighttime skincare routine to heal the skin.
- Exfoliate gently: Use a gentle exfoliant once a week to remove dry skin and help your moisturizer absorb better.
- Lock in moisture: Apply body oil or lotion in the shower while your skin is still damp.
- Cool down showers: Hot water dries out your skin, so turn down the temperature in the shower and bath.
