When you get out, use coconut oil as a lotion instead of your skin. The sun would have nothing on that glow when you step out.

If there was a certain water measurement you had for the day in the summer, double it in the winter. Your skin needs to have a balanced PH, and because of the winter, that is not possible. The winter is tampering with the PH of your skin already, it needs all the help it can get to have a balanced PH level, and this help can be gotten from drinking water, so drink as much water as possible. Yes, you will have to pee a lot, but that is probably more from the cold weather than it is from your water intake.

More so, the water moisturizes the skin from inside, making it easier for the kin to accept whatever moisture you are sending into it from the outside.

This is going to bring out that glow your skin needs. If you do not do this, not only will your skin turn out dry, you will begin to have breakouts, in the winter, that is something you surely do not want.
