Okay! If it's winter, it's dry yet you notice that it's a different type of dry than when the summer sun burns your skin.
Remember to moisturize in layers: such as following these simple steps:
1. Drink alot of water by sipping through out the day
2. Keep a humidifier in your sleeping area and run every other night
3. Layer a body oil on in the shower ( watch for increased slipperyness!)
4. Add a layer of body lotion before you get dressed and before you go to bed

Remember to use a product that is low to no petrolatum in it for maximum effectiveness!

If you are a caffeine or alcohol drinker remember to add more water to your diet because the effects of imbibing or sipping are twice as drying on the skin and hair!

It's okay to go to bed with a thick layer of creme on your feet and cotton socks too!
