The cooler temps have thrown me off my game, causing my combination skin to suddenly become dry and flaky. To get to the bottom of it, I took a trip to Mario Badescu Salon and Spa for a consultation and facial (hands down, best.facial.ever.) and was lucky enough to meet aesthetician Laden (her clients include the cast of Ugly Betty) who gave me some great tips to bring my skin back to normalcy. Lucky for you, these tips apply to all skin types, too.

Tip 1: Exfoliate.
