It is really important to stay hydrated to avoid dry patches on the skin as they cause itchiness. A glass or warm water with few drops of lemon juice are not only hydrating but also refreshing.

During winters instead of using hot water for taking bath or for washing face, it is suggested to use lukewarm water. Using lukewarm water does not dry the skin or robs body of its natural oils.
