Look, I live in mostly sunny, virtually non-seasonal Southern California. The rest of the country does, however, enjoy something we Los Angelenos loosely term as "winter". Everyone's skin , no matter what type (oily, dry, combination) needs shielding from harsh winter conditions.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but the first thing you must do is wear sunscreen. Sunscreen when there's little visible sunlight you say? But it;s winter!? A good sunscreen, SPF 30 or more is vital to shielding your skin from UVB/UVA rays that are MAGNIFIED during overcast, cold, wintery days. These rays deplete the skin of moisture and breakdown essential elastin/collagen fibers that form the matrix of your tender skin. That's why winter skin gets so dry and aged. It's not only the temperature change, it's also the fact that we don't normally think we need to wear sunscreen in winter. We need sunscreen all year long on any exposed skin. Period.
Drink plenty of water to plump skin tissues. Seal in moisture by applying water soluble creams and oils all over the body directly after a shower or bath while your skin is still damp. Any good skin lotion will do. It's best to prepare the skin after bathing with a mildly abrasive sugar or salt body scrub, rinse it off, and then slather on the lotion. Your skin will glow, be super soft and fully moisturized. No ashy, flaky, dry winter skin anywhere. You can even do this routine on your face and throat in the shower, but instead of the body lotion finish with your favorite sunscreen and moisturizer. Pay special attention to the backs of your hands, following the same steps. Always carry a hand lotion that has sunscreen in it and slather that on many times a day, especially after hand washing. Once you go outside, your hands are exposed to winter sunlight and that's a bad recipe for age and sunspots as well as chapped, raw, dry skin.
Happy, healthy winter skin. Very easy.
I promise to live beautifully.

I created ONE as an answer to the many skin care products on the market that offer performance in ONE area, but not in all areas of skin care. ONE has a unique blend of natural ingredients (Botox alternative, cosmeceuticals, botanicals, amino acids and vitamins) that when combined, synergistically boost and enhance each separate ingredient's potential and performance. The result is a cream that will temporarily relax facial muscles, allowing wrinkles to flatten. DMAE combined with Hyaluronic Acid will increase water retention in connective tissue, simultaneously moisturizing, plumping and tightening skin. Marine Collagen will thicken skin fibers, repairing as it firms. Combining MSM (Methol Sulforyl) with Ester C will help stimulate collagen synthesis and CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid combined with the botanicals and Vitamins Ester C & E with Glucosamine HDI will further help retard collagen degradation and guard against free radical damage. Fine surface lines are smoothed, the skin is given a matte finish, yet it is very plumped and fully moisturized. Over time, with continued usage, the deeper wrinkles will become softened and less noticable.
Having worked on the public's skin for over 15 years, I formulated ONE to be an all purpose item that can be worn on both women and men. Skin is skin, and aging, sun damage and environmental stress doesn't differentiate between the sexes or ethnicity. This product can repair existing damage and it can help to prevent further damage from occuring. What's fascinating is it's application: it can be worn under or over sunscreen, moisturizer or makeup, and that it acts as both a mattifier and a primer for any other product ONE wishes to use with it.
Thanks for your time. Enjoy the product.
