What to do about dry, itchy skin in winter

Choose moisturizers rich in natural oils and avoid frequent bathing to prevent moisture loss. Use a humidifier to maintain indoor humidity, which helps relieve dry skin. Wear soft, breathable clothing and avoid rough fabrics that may irritate the skin. Since skin is more sensitive during winter, reduce the frequency of exfoliation to avoid overburdening the skin. Include foods rich in vitamins A and E, such as carrots and nuts, in your diet to support skin health. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional to rule out other underlying skin conditions.
