6 Ways to Ditch Dry, Rough Winter Skin

There's a certain Sex and the City episode where Samantha Jones ends up with a crazy red face from a chemical peel gone wrong. Jones's end result is enough to make anyone never want to go anywhere near skin-resurfacing treatments or products, but in reality they can be your remedy for seasonal roughness and dryness.

If you're a victim of dehydrated post-winter skin with flaky rough patches, a smoothing chemical or physical exfoliant can help even out skin texture, in addition to refining pores and fine lines. But, unlike Jones's experience, just because a product is effective, doesn't mean that it can't be gentle, too.

Tatcha Classic Rice Enzyme Powder

This creamy, water-activated enzyme exfoliant cleans and tones skin to improve surface texture. If you find most physical exfoliants irritating, this powder will likely be the exception: It's spiked with crushed-pearl extract to minimize redness and sensitivity.

Kiehl’s Epidermal Re-texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion

Sure, microdermabrasion might be a foolproof way to improve texture and tone, but regular in-office facials can get expensive. This tiny Kiehl's tube is an affordable alternative. Apply it three times a week to minimize dark spots, fine lines, and pores.

Olehenriksen Transforming Walnut Scrub

Walnuts aren't just a solid afternoon snack, the nut is also an effective exfoliator. In OLEHENRIKSEN's scrub, walnut powder lifts and loosens dead skin cells and impurities.

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial

At-home peels have a bad rap for causing post-facial redness and breakouts. Although Drunk Elephant's Babyfacial is packed with a whopping 25-percent AHAs and two-percent BHAs to refine skin texture, gentle antioxidants like matcha green tea and apple extract help prevent a splotchy aftermath.
