Lukewarm baths and regular hydration
December 9, 2008
Do not shower with very hot water as it strips moisture from the skin. Lukewarm is best. For very dry skin you can add a bath emollient (like Oilatum), say half a capful to half a bucket of water for the last rinse.
Drink plenty of water to internally hydrate yourself. You'll have to make a conscious effort as thirst levels are physiologically low in winters.
A traditional dryness-busting remedy is to soak a cup of sesame seeds (til) in warm milk for a couple of hours and grind to a coarse paste with a little rosewater. Apply over your body for a few minutes and scrub off.
