First, don't make the mistake of over-scrubbing, over-cleaning, and over-treating. Frosty temperatures may have damaged the outermost protective layer, exposing facial skin to irritants and bacteria.

Hydration and exfoliation are the keys to smoother skin for spring. Slough off dry skin cells with a gentle exfoliator like Olay Skin Smoothing Cream Scrub, which combines a conditioning beta-hydroxy acid formula with microbeads. Beta-hydroxy acids loosen the dead cells of the epidermis, making room for new growth.
A mild unscented soap that won't strip away natural oils, such as Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, will reduce moisture loss and maintain a healthy outer-skin layer. Skip the washcloth and use a cleaning device like the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System for a deeper clean. The brush has hundreds of bristles that lift and whisk away dead skin and dirt.
Rebuild your skin's outer layer with a barrier repair moisturizer such as Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Moisturizer, which boosts hydration and reduces water loss. Don't forget to add sunscreen -- SPF 30 or higher. Then add a makeup packed with moisturizers and vitamins (and more sunscreen).
