Itchy, flaky skin is a big problem for lots of people, especially in the winter. In fact, 50% of our population suffers from dry skin. Moisturizers and lotions can certainly help, but there are also many natural ways to help prevent and soothe dry skin.

As the temperatures drop, dry skin is on the rise. Cold, dry winter air can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing your skin to flake and itch. Unfortunately, our indoor air doesn’t help because our heaters also dry out the air in our homes. While you can’t control the air outside your home, you can change the air inside your home by adding more humidity with a humidifier.
