By Contributor: Moupee
In the winter months, when the surrounding air is dry and chilly you skin naturally tends to get bereft of all moisture and the rest is that you start suffering from numerous dry skin issues like flaky skin, scaly skin, itchy skin that leaves a white mark on the skin when scratched. So using a good body moisturizer, better called body lotion is a must especially in this season. You must generously apply body lotion on your hands, legs, back and massage gently until its thoroughly absorbed into the skin. Do it every day after shower and before going to bed at night.
