We usually give 90% of our attention to our faces, which ends up leaving rest of our body neglected. Winter months can be harsh on our skin if we don’t take proper care. In this post I am sharing tips on how to take care of some of the neglected areas of our bodies.
1. Soft and Smooth Skin All Over
Winter Itch due to dryness is a cause for concern for many people. Skimping on moisturizing is not a good idea in the coming months. Even better, switch to in-shower oil for mornings and a deep cream for nights to lock in that moisture 24/7.
2. Pay attention to the nooks and corners
Summertime is for pedicures and waxing, but we tend to neglect those areas when we swap in our less-revealing winter wardrobes. You want to be active in moisturizing the elbows, feet, neck and hands all year long. Cracked heels and dry elbows are not a pretty sight.
3. Care for your underarms. Underarm skin is sensitive and an area that shouldn’t be overlooked. Dr. Alicia Barba, a dermatologist with Dove, reminds us that textures and fabrics in sweaters, undergarments and t-shirts can irritate the skin. Underneath all those layers, you’ll need a product that keeps you hydrated and protected. Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant is formulated with moisturizers to help alleviate irritation and leave you with softer and smoother underarms. It also provides 48-hour odor and wetness protection.

4. Sunscreen for all seasons.
Pack away the bikinis and sarongs, but keep the sunscreen right next to your daily moisturizer. Dr. Barba suggests switching to a moisturizing sunscreen, a bit richer than your summer product. Harmful UV rays don’t take a break for cold weather. Even if you’re bundled up, sunscreen is a must for your face, and any other skin that’s not covered up.
5. Pucker Up.
One other body part which suffers severely during the winter months is our lips. You want to ensure you apply either coconut oil or petroleum jelly at bedtime and carry a lip balm during the day. Soft and supple lips are a thing for year-round.
