When regularly faced with hot showers and harsh body soaps, skin tends to dry out and can begin to feel a bit tight. Throw in the cold winter weather that might not be so kind to your skin, and it might feel even more parched. Whether you're currently coping with dry body skin or simply cringe at the mere thought of it, there are plenty of ways to keep your skin hydrated on a daily basis. Oddly enough, an effective moisturizing routine starts in the shower.
