Cold Skin
Keeping warm is not only for survival but it is also for the sake of your skin. Cool weather brings cool air that tends to dry skin faster thus lose moisture at an amazing rate. Too wet and the cold weather also wreaks havoc, cooling it more, so choose breathable clothing that keeps you warm yet lets sweat escape. When you do get to bathing, everybody is tempted to jump into a hot bath to warm the soul. It’ll warm your soul alright, but it’ll dry your skin too. try some warm water then adding hot water slowly.
Remember, too hot and your skin dries out, losing it’s natural oils and thus leaving you dry as bone. Moisturize but not too much for it can irritate dry skin if applied too much. Wearing warm clothing helps you stay comfortable, it also prevents your skin from drying out. Use heavy moisturizing creams on those spots that rub against your clothes so you don’t get chaffed.
