Talk about wintertime skincare.

The air very dry in the wintertime. Because of heating, it really get stuffy and dry inside. In this conditions, it's very common for one's skin to dry out, or get flaky. People with atopic dermatitis or eczema can especially suffer from itchy skin or skin inflammation.

To prevent dry skin, it's important to apply moisturizer. In the winter skincare products like moisturizing creams or ointments are more effective than lotions. You should use a generaous amount and massage it into your skin until it is completely absorbed. That way, the moisturizing effect lasts longer.

It's also good to maintain the temperature and humidity indoors at an appropriate level. This helps prevent dry skin. This is especially more important if there are young children in the household.

My skin is really dry these days.

Yeah. It's important to moisturize your skin in the winter.

That's right. Otherwise, your skin can get scaly.

It also helps to prevent the air indoors from getting dry.

Of course. That's why we always have humidifier running in our house.

And, it's best to set the thermostat at 20 or 21 degrees Celsius.
