As the days get longer and temperatures begin to climb, off go the sweaters and boots and on go the shorts and sandals.
But while your spirit may be singing the praises of spring, it's also likely your skin is still crying out with the winter blues -- dry, scaly, rough, spots on heels, knees, and elbows as well as stressed- out, overheated, undernourished skin on your face and body.
"Nothing is worse for skin than a long, cold
winter -- the low humidity in conjunction with hot air, heat, and less
fresh air often can leave your skin looking dull, dry, rough, and even
wrinkled and older," says Cheryl Citron, MD, the past president of the
New Jersey Dermatology Society.
