Don't worry about wrinkles, says Dr. Swanson.  "Women often see an exaggeration of wrinkles in the winter, because of skins dryness."

So if you look in the mirror and see more fine lines around your eyes and mouth, don't add more stress to your sensitive skin by freaking out. It is most likely a temporary thing. Instead, defend yourself with a hydrating night cream and a good night's sleep.

"It's important to put moisture back in your body," says Dr. Swanson, and he means literally. Dr. Swanson recommends relaxing in a bathtub of tepid water until your fingertips are wrinkled, however long that takes "Your skin has a great capacity for holding water," says Dr. Swanson, "it's important to get re-hydrated."

"Be sure to read the ingredients of the moisturizers you're buying," says Dr. Swanson. Because our skin loses lipids in the winter (the barrier that keeps water in) it's important to use products that contain lipids, like the ever-popular Ceramides. Dr. Swanson also recommends looking for products with Stearic Acid (an animal fat) and Glyco-Lipids, that can also help in preventing moisture loss.

Try to avoid soap. "Many soaps are drying, so it's important to wash with a liquid non-soap cleanser," says Dr. Swanson. In addition, Dr. Swanson suggests looking for cleansers or moisturizers that possess botanicals, plant extracts like chamomile and lavender which are naturally body replenishing. Botanicals are often soothing as well; ideal for wind chapped or exposed skin.
