Being immersed in hot and humid weather for most of the year has your body accustomed to light moisture. Even if you have dry skin, a thin layer of lotion would usually suffice. But as the months get cooler--and especially when you're heading abroad at wintertime--you tend to require more hydration than usual as the weather makes your skin dry and flaky.
The solution? Switch from lightweight lotions to more hydrating creams. Choose among these:
1. The Body Shop Shea Nourishing Body Butter
