 Since cold winds blows and causes dryness of the skin, you need to moisturise more than normal. Switch to oil-based moisturiser as it will help put a layer on your skin and protect it.

Choose Oils Carefully

Whole Body Massage 

 Give your entire body a massage at least once a week. This will make your skin smooth and rejuvenate it as well. Apply and massage your body with a good lubricating cream or oil for at least 20 - 30 minutes. This will help the oil penetrate within the first layer of your skin and will keep your skin smooth and moist for long.

Daily Cleansing 

 Be gentle to your daily cleansing routine. Do not rub hard on any part of your body. If you are using any skin tonic that contains alcohol, stop using it during winter, alcohol causes further dryness of skin and makes it all the more sensitive.

Minimise Use of Peel Off

Sunscreen Lotion
