Guapura 101: Dry Winter Skin & Hot Water

If you’re anything like me, when it’s cold, you want badly to be warm. So, we all tend to take hot showers in the winter. Well, apparently, this has the dual effect of drying out our skin. Hot water saps our skin of our natural oils, making our skin more dry, and requiring us to moisturize even more.

I hate moisturizing, so I’ve been trying to keep my showers short and the water temperature somewhat tepid. This has the bonus of keeping your energy bills lower during the cold winter months. And don’t forget the lip balm! It seems like I can’t get enough lip balm on to keep my lips somewhat non-chapped during the winter!
