Nine ways to improve dry and flaky skin

How to Prevent Dry Skin in Winter

Dry skin is common in winter due to low humidity, but certain habits—like hot showers and harsh towel drying—can make it worse. To stay hydrated, moisturize right after washing, avoid overly hot water, and use shaving gel with a sharp razor. Always moisturize hands after washing and consider using a humidifier.

Top Remedies for Dry Skin:

  1. Olive Oil – Contains antioxidants; best used in small amounts or mixed into masks (avoid direct use on the face).
  2. Oatmeal – Add to warm baths to soothe and hydrate irritated skin.
