Hi friends, Please advise me to take care of Dry skin during winter season Thanks in advance, muthuswathi
Swathi Skin tend to drop moisture during winter and hence dry,scaly itchy skin.Keep your body hydrated always. Try to cover whole body while in and out door. Do not take hot water baths. Have frequent oil massage. Try applying naturally available moisturizers like,glycerin,milk,honey etc.Apply them directly. Try this simple home remedy:Mash avocado(rich in Vitamin E).Add few drops of Honey(optional)apply over the affected parts,Leave it for 15-20 minutes and wash it off. If your condition is worse,try this medicated "Moisturex Cream" prescribed by my Dermatologist.Best for immediate relief. Now only the long bottle with pressing nozzle is available in market. Apply more of cream for the first few days and normal application afterwards. For More Home remedies browse here in this forum itself.You will have loads of tips. Thanks.
Hi Yashikushi, Thanks for the timely advice. I'm going to start with Moisturex immediately Regards, muthuswathi
I hope this works because its one of the things i need everyday and it causes my skin to dry. And especially in the cold it gets so dry that it cuts and bleeds.
Before sleeping you can always apply oil to your hands and legs. In the morning your skin will feel soft and fresh. I usually use almond oil and sometimes olive oil too or a mix of both.
Hi Cutejaya, Singam2, Mercury713, Prettydevil and Jyothidatla, Thanks for sharing your valuable suggestions for taking care of dry skin. I have too many options to choose. Regards, muthuswathi
Hi Yashikushi, I started applying Moisturex and now I'm able to see the improvement in my skin esp. hand and legs. Thanks, muthuswathi
Swathi Thanks for the immediate response. One thing forgot to add.Don't step out after applying the cream as it will tend to tan. During day time,try Vaseline cocoa butter...equally good and I love the fragrance. Keep going. Thanks.
