Winter Skin* Tips - Remedies For Dry Skin

Dry skin is a common problem during winter time. Dry skin can lead to early aging and wrinkles. That's why you need to take good care of dry skin by applying moisturizers regularly.

Dry air takes away the thin layer of oil that traps moisture in the skin, flaring itchy and painful conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and severe dry skin.

"The air is frigid and dry outside, and any kind of indoor heat leaves it even more parched. Your skin's protective barrier cracks, making it less able to repair itself," says San Francisco dermatologist Katie Rodan, MD. "It becomes a vicious cycle unless you do something to prevent it—or treat it fast."
