Cold winters in addition to hot water we use for our baths robs our skin of all its moisture leaving the skin dull, dry and itchy. The best way to get rid of dry skin is to regularly moisturise the skin. Oil based moisturisers are more suitable than water based or petroleum based ingredients. They nourish the skin making it shinier, healthier and softer.

People usually avoid drinking water during winters due to cold and prefer drinking coffee, hot chocolate or tea. 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.

Use Lukewarm Water

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.

Do Not Exfoliate Regularly
