Okay to get on with these Winter  tips ,that will have you  looking like a million dollars .
Beat Chapped lips :
With very thin skin and no oil glands, your lips are at high risk of dehydration. Always create a moisture barrier between the air and your pout. Choose a balm that's thick and creamy—not waxy—so ingredients penetrate better. Toss a tube in every purse or coat pocket so you'll always have one handy .
Don't Rinse and Repeat

Seems odd, but too much washing can dry out your skin. Find a creamy facial cleanser that doesn't require rinsing, or use towelettes to wipe off makeup and the day's grime.

Exfoliate Wisely

Buffing your body is a good remedy for flaky skin, but exfoliating your face with scrubs can feel too harsh. Instead, slough away dead cells with a nighttime serum or cream that contains glycolic acid, a natural fruit acid.

Make It Quick

A long, steamy shower might seem like the best solution to counter the bone-chilling cold, but it can compromise the skin's outer layer. Be quick on your feet and shorten your shower to 10 minutes or less. Try washing the important areas—underarms, groin and feet—with lukewarm water and a gentle bodywash. Limit hot-water exposure everywhere else.

Shampoo Every Other Day

Washing hair daily in winter can lead to dried-out, lackluster locks. Skipping a day or two lets your hair's natural oils do their work to restore shine. If you can't bear a full cleansing break, use dry shampoo at the roots for a subtle refresher.

Take Care of The Nails

Healthy nails are about 18 percent water, but when that number drops, they can easily break. To help with rehydration, rub a drop of olive oil into your nails every night, and be sure to use a nondrying, acetone-free remover whenever you clean off chipping color.

Give Yourself a Facial

For a nourishing at-home spa moment, apply a thick layer of your night cream (don't be timid—slather it on). Then, soak a clean washcloth in warm water, wring it out and apply it over your "mask." Let it sit for five minutes.

Soften Rough Heels

Coarse patches are due in large part to dead-skin buildup. Use a rich cream with lactic acid, a component in milk, to penetrate the thick layers that traditional moisturizers simply can't. At bedtime, pull on a pair of socks to help moisture sink in overnight.

Well hope these few tips have your skin and hair looking perfect this winter .

Have an amazing weekend and stay blessed . Bye xx
