Brace yourself! Avoid the temptation of a hot shower when the temperature drops. Long, hot showers and super-strong, sudsy soaps take away the skin’s natural thin layer of oil. Expose this to cold, dry winter air and the problem worsens, taking away even more moisture from the skin.

Solution: reach for a gentle lotion based cleanser, like Suki’s Moisture Rich Cleanser, and use deep hydrating body lotion or oil immediately afterwards. Best practice: brace yourself for a shorter and more tepid shower.
