	Cleanse your face with Daily Face Wash and lukewarm (not hot) water.

	Within a few minutes of washing and drying your face, apply a thin layer of Advanced Face Lotion. Feel free to reapply 2-3 times a day if skin feels dry, and reapply a final time before bedtime.

	Although rays are not as strong, you are still susceptible to burns at high altitudes and from snow glare, so apply a thin layer of TiO2 Sunblock if you are going to be doing outdoor activities.

	Apply Advanced Lip Protection SPF 30 to lips to keep them hydrated.

	Cold, dry air can dehydrate skin, so drink plenty of water throughout the day. For very dry skin, avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can reduce skin’s moisture levels.

Tips:

Resist using a lot of antibacterial gels and hand wipes; they can dry skin out with their alcohol content. For very dry skin, try using a humidifier at night.
