The funny part of winters is that the external weather is chilling and wet and indoor we would feel pretty dry, it can be said as bony-dry conditions to be more precise. Moisture from the skin gets dried up or evaporated very fast leaving the skin dry and lifeless. It is though not a worrisome condition, but left untreated you have cuts and skin breakdowns all over and this welcome hoard of infections. It is also quite painful and burning when left untreated besides giving ugly appearance.
This skin dryness should be addressed as early as possible and there are umpteen products as lotions, creams and oils in the market that boast of treating the dry skin and sold under a special category called moisturizers. Skin specialists however, remark that the term moisturizer is more of a market name to promote a product and has not much scientific meaning attached. Dermatologists feel everyday care of skin is simple, however, the companies are cautious when it comes to claims of the products and they are not very transparent of the ingredients as well. Having said so, they try to be within the domain of FDA rules and regulations.
