Hello, everyone!
I hope all of you are fine.
As soon as winter comes, we see that our lips, cheeks and heels get affected, and we all are worried about it. In winter air is cold with reduced temperature, no moisture, and less humidity.

Bathing :
Do not take bath with more hot water, it is wrong, as our skin protection layer melt and the skin become more dry.
Do not take more than five minutes to bathe, with lukewarm water. Use Cleansing Lotion instead of soap because soap remove moisture from your skin. Don't dry the skin roughly but with soft hands by dabbing method as there should be some moisture, then in this condition apply moisturizer or coconut oil. There is a myth in regard to moisturizer, moisturizer do not add moisture in our skin, but it protects moisture of our Skin.
In Winter, instead of lotion use ointment are cream because in winter our skin becomes more dry as compare to other season.
When going outside, cover whole body because when cold air reaches to you then it not harms you. Lips get more affected in winter for this use lip balm four to five times a day.
