For many, winter is in full swing. The question is, have you taken care of your hair and skin as the weather changed? Temperatures dropped and with the heater going and everything, your house has probably gotten a little drier, meaning you need to take some extra precautions in order to stay your beautiful self!

For winter-friendly hair care, think about adding a weekly deep conditioning treatment, like Biolage's Ultra-Hydrating Balm. It smells yummy and helps get your hair back in shape. And, on a daily basis, think about a leave-in conditioner or detangler, like Healthy Sexy Hair's Soy Tri-Wheat Conditioner -- I swear, my hair has never been as soft as when I've used that.

As far as skin goes, different products should be used for different parts. Of course, you should always use a lotion with SPF 15 or so, just for daily sun exposure, but you should also consider treating your face with something soothing -- after all, your skin is dealing with a lot of changes with winter weather. Renee Rouleau offers a lightweight Stress Recovery Lotion that works for all skin types, ridding you of redness and uneven color. VedaMama has a fabulous Scrumptious body cream that's ultra moisturizing (and all natural) for the rest of your body, but if you're looking to save some cash, I've always had good luck with Eucerin's line of products.

Of course, you don't need to wait until you're out of the shower to get your skin in shape. Try a moisturizing body wash, like Olay Body Body Wash, Ultra Moisture With Shea Butter to get things started. Or, if you're more interested in a nice, long soak in the tub, maybe a bath oil, like Aveeno Moisturizing Shower and Bath Oil is more your style.

Whatever products you choose, remember that it's far easier to keep your skin in fabulous shape now than to try to repair it later. And super dry skin doesn't just look bad; it feels yucky, too.
