How do I get rid of nasty dry winter skin?

Help! My skin is looking reptilian in this cold weather! How do I get rid of my scales?

We all get lazy with our moisturizing routine during the winter months; after all, if you can see your legs, do you really care what they look like? But getting into the routine of applying a rich body cream after every shower, your skin will look and feel much better in a matter of days.

You don’t need to spend a fortune either; Vaseline, Dove and Nivea all have brilliant body creams that are just as effective as more expensive ones.

Apply to slightly damp skin, paying special attention to extra-dry bits like elbows, knees and ankles.
