Bathe away dry skin
Winter’s chill may make you crave steamy baths, but long soaks can strip away natural oils. Leaving winter dry skin more dehydrated. Fortunately, there is an easy way to restore moisture. It starts in the kitchen: Mix ½ cup dry oatmeal and ¼ cup buttermilk into a paste. Place in 4 layers of cheesecloth and tie up the ends like a parcel with a baggie tie. Run the shower and rub the cheesecloth bag over your body for a minute or so to gently exfoliate your skin.
Tip: A humid environment will keep your skin from drying out and itching. Moisture can be very soothing if you have psoriasis and the accompanying thick, scaly patches.
