Got that itch crawling under your skin again? Don't let the dry, cold air of winter get the better of your skin. Here are five easy tips from Susan Perry, a Medical Aesthetician hailing all the way from London. She has personally tested her favorite skin remedies, and here's what she recommends!

1. Skin feels drier when there is less humidity in the air especially in harsh winter conditions, dry winds, mountain air or inside with central heating. Treat your skin to some humidity with a hydrating water mist; your skin will love it. Make your own with distilled water and a few drops of lavender oil or look for Evian water or Thermal Spring water by La Roche Posay.

2. Mild AHA’s are very helpful in moisturizing the skin. They gently lift off the impacted dead skin layer that impairs the skin’s ability to retain moisture. Schedule an in office AHA treatment or use some mild AHA’s at home like REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel.

3. Boost your moisture level. Add a hydrating gel or serum that contains hyaluronic acid (it's a naturally occurring molecule found in the body) to your regime. It attracts moisture and holds it close to the skin.

4. Instead of gritty, abrasive scrubs switch to a gentle buffing cream for weekly exfoliation. Removing dead skin build up will allow your skin to retain moisture and brighten the surface. Try Caudalie Creme Gommante Douce.

5. Get ready for dry skin on the body. Use a loofah sponge twice a week with a mild shower gel and moisturize with a cream or oil while your skin is still damp. If you get keratosis pilaris (rough goose bump like skin on arms and legs) use a lotion like AM Lactin to get rid of the dead skin cells while moisturizing. Hands and feet get a treat with rich moisturizer and overnight gloves. Treat yourself to a really good quality lip balm that heals and moisturizes. Use it often – before you get cracked lips.
