Wear gloves overnight to let the formula work on your winter wrecked hands. Another traditional remedy is to apply a concoction of glycerine, rose water and lemon juice to soften the hands.

Body Care: As soon as winter sets in, throw all the soaps out of your bathroom window. Soaps tend to strip the moisture from the skin leaving it dull and dry. Avoid hot baths during the winters.
