Come winters and you may dread those cracked heels and dryness on the skin surface. Our expert lays emphasis on that extra need to take precaution during winter to ensure a glowing body and mind.

Though the skin on most parts of the body is not exposed to the sun, harsh weather conditions and chemical air pollutants, it can turn rough and dry in winters. This is more so with the exposed areas, like the arms, feet, neck and face. If the skin is normally dry, the problem becomes worse in winter.

Good grooming and basic beauty care begin in the bathroom. Bathing can be fun, not a chore and can make you feel fresh and glowing. Personal freshness is essential for everyone. The bacteria on the skin attacking the sweat when it reaches the surface of the skin cause body odor. Perspiration odor doesn’t start until about the age of 10, when the special apocrine glands develop. These are found mainly under the arms and between the legs.
