An A-Peeling Look

By Amy Spagnola

Skin in winter is like a really bad breakfast cereal-dry and flaky. That summer glow of yesterday is now ruddy with cracks and crevices big enough to store suitcases with ease. But instead of slathering skin in loads of moisturizer, which will only mask the fierceness of the flakes, it’s crucial to actually peel away the dead cells to rejuvenate and recharge, thus, allowing moisturizer to penetrate and smooth.
