Cold-Weather Skin Care

Most of us don't need to scrub ourselves every time we shower during the dry, cold winter months; doing so only exacerbates dry skin, causing itching and other problems. Don't skip the shower, but try using a washcloth or loofah and just water on your arms and legs, saving the soapy scrubbing for the parts that really need it (you know what they are). This will effectively exfoliate your skin without stripping it of natural oils. You'll use less water, less moisturizer and save time, as well!
