Give your body a moisture kick |

A moisture kick is not restricted to just your hands and feet. It's essential to moisturise the whole body during winter. We tell you how
Dry and lifeless skin and unmanageable hair are two of the most common winter predicaments. The solution to these problems lies in just one word - moisturiser. Here's all you need to know about moisturing your body to beat those winter chills. For your hair: The winter chills don't affect just your skin, your hair is just as susceptible to its damaging effects. Hair gets dry, brittle, dull and unmanageable during this season and the only solution is to moisturise the hair. How? By using an intense leave-in conditioner. If you dont use a leave-in conditioner, ensure that you leave the conditioner on your hair for as long as possible to allow it to seep deep into the hair shaft and do its job. And while those with thin or oily hair must take care to rinse their hair thoroughly so that leftover residue doesn't weight the hair down, those with thick or dry hair may benefit by not entirely rinsing the conditioner from their hair. For scaly skin: One of the biggest drawbacks of winter is that the skin dries up and if not looked after, can even turn scaly. To beat this problem, it's essential that you moisturise your skin as often as possible. Also, remember it's most effective if you apply your moisturiser immediately after a bath as the skin is still damp and will absorb the moisture much faster and more effectively. For the feet: Cracked and rough soles are a common winter predicament which can actually be easily avoided. All you need to do is lovingly treat your feet to a pedicure. No, we aren't talking about expensive salon treatements, do it in the comfort of your own home. Just soak your feet in a tub of warm water for a while. Use a good foot scrubber to gently scrub away dried skin and smooth out the rough edges. Wash you feet, pat them dry and apply a generous portion of moisturiser. This can be done once a week. For the rest of the week, don't forget to moisturise your feet after a bath and you can even cover them with a pair of socks while going to bed. For a dull complexion: Tired of your lackluster skin tone? Don't worry. Here's what you can do to freshen it up. Start off with a good moisturising facial mask treatment followed by a rich moisturiser. Revitalising night creams are a good option to pamper your face with just before your sleep time. Remember, while you are getting your beauty sleep, your skin works overtime to repair and rejuvinate itself. An undereye cream is a must to ease out those nagging fine lines and wrinkles. Also, while doing your makeup, opt for tainted moisturisers, skin brightners and a rich, warm toned blush. It will work wonders to bring back life into your skin.  |
