During winter, skin becomes more dry and so they need to be given some good care. Some tips to get prepared for the winter are:

-After a shower, apply moisturiser without fail.
-Use moisturiser that has vitamins A,B,D and E.
-Do not use soaps which are harsh, as they have the ability to dry your skin quickly.
-Lips dry often due to the lack of oil glands. A lip balm is a must to prevent it from being chapped and crusty.
-Do not avoid drinking water due to the coldness in winter. Drink a lot of water as it prevents dehydration.
-In winter, skin turns a little dark and there is no shine, remove the dead skin cells and help the skin to absorb enough moisture.
-Very hot water should be avoided while taking bath as it removes the natural oils from the body.
-Take bath in luke warm water and also avoid hair dryer as it harms your scalp and makes the hair dry.
-Do not stop using sunscreen as it can age the skin.
-Go for a manicure and pedicure as it prevents the skin from peeling and softens the skin.
-Stop winter itches by using a towel each time you wash your hands or feet.
