Replace soap with mixture of haldi, besan malai and chandan powder soaked in milk for everyday bath. Once a week u can add diwali walla utna for exfoliation or almond paste for extra moisture. You'll never need those expensive moisturisers or anti aging creams.

Here are some winter care tips-
*A good amount of water helps in retaining the moisture of your skin as well keeping skin disorders at bay. Fruits and vegetables in your daily diet release a lot of water to your system. Primrose syrup and olive oil in your diet also aids in softening your skin.

*Use the paste of ground green gram powder instead of soap to work your way to a soft and supple skin.

*Pamper you skin with a little coconut oil
before bath to heal dryness and chaps. Use a creamy soap that renders that extra suppleness to your skin.

*Moisturizers and cold creams are a must in the winters. Apply some good cold cream on your face before going to bed. Moisten your skin with a good moisturizer or a creamy hand and body lotion. My best buy is ' Jergens' hand and body lotion.

*Add a few drops of oil to the water that you are using to bath. This will help retain the moisture lost when bathing. Avoid using very hot water during winter as it can decrease the natural oils of your skin. Instead shorten your bath time.
These simple tips will help you to retain the moisture of your skin and hence reduce the dryness.
