Bathing habits to relieve itchy body skin in winter

When the weather gets dry, many people suffer from itching and white flaking not only on the face but also on the arms and legs. I used to lose sleep every winter because of scratching, but after changing my shower habits, it got much better. The biggest change was lowering the water temperature. Water that is too hot takes away all the oil from the skin.

Keep shower time short, under 10 minutes, and use soap or body wash sparingly and only on necessary areas such as armpits and feet. Avoid products with strong cleansing power and use a slightly acidic body wash. After showering, apply body oil or lotion to your entire body immediately before the water dries.

By taking care of it this way, my skin, which used to crack like snake skin, became smooth again and the itchiness disappeared. It is no exaggeration to say that winter skin care is all about humidity control and moisturizing. Be sure to turn on a humidifier indoors and don't forget to drink water often. Small changes add up to create comfortable skin.
