5. The Horror of Static Cling
In winter, static clings lies in wait for the moment to embarrass you at your holiday party—meaning cute cocktail dress stuck to your butt! The horror stems from dry air and friction, which inevitably cause things to cling even worse. Instead, arm yourself with a can of hair spray and spritz the underside of your outfit or wear a silk slip. You can also avoid static cling by allowing clothes to air dry rather than using the dryer.

6. Watery, Irritated Eyes
Look at any photo of me outside in winter and it looks like I’ve been crying. Why? Because technically I am thanks to watery eyes due to harsh wind exposure in the wintertime. I’ve learned to protect my sensitive peepers by wearing a pair of sunglasses, which shelter my eyes from the harsh wind and cold.

7. Chapped and Cracked Lips
Puckering up under the mistletoe can be painful business if you suffer from chapped or cracked lips during winter. To maintain the perfect pout, avoid licking your lips when they’re experiencing a dry spell and apply an emollient lip balm with as many natural ingredients as possible.

8.Itchy, Red Eyes
Winter, aka flu season, means an influx of sniffling, sneezing, colds, and flues, which oftentimes lead to red, itchy eyes, and the dreaded pink eye virus. To prevent a nasty, gooey, itchy eye, avoid nose to eye contact following a sneeze or cough. Wash your hands frequently, drink plenty of fluids, and get your beauty rest.
