With the arrival of winter comes more than just cold weather, the holiday season, and glistening snow. Winter also brings plenty of skin problems. While not everyone is affected by the discomfort of chronically flaking, cracking, and dry skin, it is still a problem for many people. That's why Heibel Dermatology, Lincoln's leading center for psoriasis treatment, chemical peels, and more, is here to share some helpful skin care tips for winter.

Moisturizing the skin is an important aspect of maintaining healthy skin through the winter months, but many people experience no real difference even after moisturizing religiously. Every person has a unique skin type that requires varying levels of attention. Talk to a dermatologist at Heibel Dermatology about different types of lotions, natural alternatives, and other moisturizing products that will have the most potent effect.

Many people would never think of using sunscreen during the winter, but it is just as beneficial to use it during this season as it is during the summer. The skin still needs protection when the sun is out, even during the winter. When the sunshine and glare of snow hits the skin, it could be damaging when it isn't protected. Keep the face and hands covered in a layer of sunscreen to avoid dry, irritated skin.
