Skin Care tips for Spring

According the beauty experts, there are several easy ways to get rid of the telltale signs of winter on your skin before spring is in full swing...here's some good advice:

- Use a mild exfoliator to remove dry skin cells that clog your pores. A simple mask made from cooled instant oatmeal can be applied for ten minutes to slough the surface of your complexion without stripping it.

- Choose a light moisturizer that is suitable for your own skin type. As the weather is getting warmer and warmer, because heavy moisturizers tend to clog your pores.
