Almost all of us love the winter season but the one thing that we all dread about this season is dry and lifeless skin, don’t we? Dry skin is like an uninvited guest during the winter season. No matter how many products you apply to your skin, there is nothing that can completely resolve the issue. And what comes in handy? A skin moisturizer.
Dr Nivedita Dadu, Renowned Dermatologist, Founder and Chairman of Dr. Nivedita Dadu’s Dermatology Clinic, says, “Many people struggle with dry skin during winter. As the weather is changing, our skin becomes a little dry. In winter, the air becomes dry making the skin patchy, flaky and itchy which further results in uneven, and dull-looking skin. The skin of our face, feet, and hands become dry and tight. Sometimes, it also starts itching and can result in cracks and flaking.”
But hold on, what’s the solution anyway? Well, Dr Dadu adds that “The best way to tackle the problem of dry skin is to apply a gel moisturizer made from natural ingredients at home.” Using natural ingredients to prepare gel moisturizers will ensure that your skin is not exposed to chemicals that may leave your skin feeling extremely dry and brittle.
