Let’s face it — your skin takes a beating, day in and day out, whether you work inside or outside. Both hot and cold temperatures dry out skin, as can chlorine and salt water. Keeping your skin moisturized is important for overall skin health and to lessen the chances of cracks in your skin that can lead to infection. But before you moisturize, exfoliate!
