5 tips for hydrating dry skin this winter

The cold and dry winter weather can make your skin flaky, patchy, painful and lifeless. Do you wish to take long walks outside, go on a long drive with car windows open, play with snowballs or just hang out with friends without worrying about damaging your skin? Read on to know how you can get that perfect glow despite the chill.

1. Pamper your skin with natural moisturizers. Whenever you buy one, look for ingredients such as almond, glycerine, honey or rosewater. You could mix glycerin with rosewater and apply on your face, hands and feet before sleeping at night to keep the skin soft and supple. You can try Jiva Carrot Cream too.
2. Take a good body massage with Ayurvedic oils once a week. Sesame oil is the best for winters. It gets easily absorbed into the skin and nourishes from deep inside by improving blood circulation.
3. Keep those harsh bathing soaps away from your delicate skin! Dry your skin by patting gently with a towel instead of rubbing hard.
4. Mask your face with gram flour and yogurt instead of hiding it. Make a paste, leave it for about 20 minutes and rise with lukewarm water. These kitchen ingredients are not just good for your stomach but for your skin too.
5. Leave behind artificial cleansers and go for raw milk. Dab a piece of cotton in it and clean your face. It helps hydrate the skin naturally.

And most importantly, choose to drink water over caffeine if you desire a beautiful, radiant skin.
