What to do about dry, itchy skin in winter
Keep the skin clean and avoid bathing with excessively hot water. Use gentle moisturizing products and apply them regularly to help lock moisture into the skin. Maintain indoor air humidity to reduce the effects of dry air on the skin and prevent excessive dryness. Wear loose, comfortable cotton clothing to avoid friction and skin irritation. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins and water, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, to hydrate the skin from within. If symptoms of dryness and itching persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
