Winters and woolens make a great pair but this chilly season also brings with it dryness to skin. CTM should be done regularly irrespective of season but few beauty products need to be replaced when it gets all cold and dry. For instance, those pleasant smelling soap bars should give way to soft face wash and shower gels to prevent your skin from losing moisture. Dr Nishita Sheth, Aesthetic Dermatologist, DNCC clinic adds more to this list.

Hot Out
When the temperature drops we opt for hot water without realizing its after effects. It makes skin more dry and cracky as it takes away moisture from your body.  Luke warm water is ideal for your skin.  But if you choose to stick to hot water immediately apply heavy moisturizer after taking bath.

Make It Moist
You need to use lot of moisturizer during winters. It should be heavy oil based rather than water based. Medicated moisturizers are absorbed better by the skin. You can also apply petroleum jelly. Toners which are alcohol based should be kept away from your skin during winter season. Rosewater can be used.

No Sun Bath
Exposure to sun can also make your skin dry. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or less than that as this is number which is suitable for darker toned people. If you are light skin you can go with SPF which is more than 30. Apart from application drink 10 to 15 glasses of water to stay hydrated.
