8 Solutions for Your Winter Beauty WoesYou've heard it a million times before: You need more moisture in the winter. But when you're suffering from cracked nails or a scaly scalp, it's too late for prevention -- it's all about solutions. Here are cures for all your winter woes |

Problem: moisturizing isn't cutting it Solution: Change your diet.
If you've reached a point where all the heavy creams and milk baths in the world can't get you hydrated, then it's time to look at what you're eating -- or not eating. It's sad to say, but drinking a ton of extra water isn't going to do much to moisturize your skin. However, certain foods can help. Choose foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids like wild salmon, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. These can help increase your overall moisture level from the inside out, says nutritionist Peggy Kotsopoulos.

Great article! I put flaxseed in my fruit smoothies too...I love using Nivea's Essentially Enriched or Extended Moisture lotions during the winter! They're awesome!
