The winter chill can make your skin dry,rough and damaged. Here are few tips to overcome these.
- Avoid long and hot showers as they strip the skin and its natural moisture.Only use luke warm water.
- Replace your regular soap with moisturising body wash.
- Use gentle exfoliating scrubs twice a week,which will remove dead cells and open the skin pores to absorb more moisture.
- After you shower, gently pat your skin partially dry and apply a moisturising lotion to seal the moisture in the skin.
