Tucked away under winter clothing, you might think your arms and legs are protected from dehydration, but they're not.
Dove expert Marina Beech advises moisturising straight after bathing.
If you have oily skin, opt for Vaseline intensive Care Spray Moisturiser, $9.99, or treat dry skin with a balm like Yes To Coconut Head-To-Toe Restoring Balm, $14.99.
Sensitive skin? Try Avene XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream, $37.95.
"Extreme temperatures can sap moisture out of your skin, leaving your body feeling dried out and lacklustre," explains Beech.
Shorter, cooler baths and showers are kinder to skin, and it's also a good idea to swap your regular soap for a body wash that contains a "blend of moisturisers enriched with natural lipids," she says.
Try Dove triple Moisturising Deeply Nourishing Body Wash, $7.36, or Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash, $9.95.
TOP TIP:
Exfoliate and boost circulation with dry body brushing. Start at the feet and work up your figure using light strokes, paying attention to problem areas, such as thighs and buttocks.
We like Elemis Body Detox Skin brush, $85.
