Combat Winter Dryness Through Oil Hydration

Tired of winter dryness? Try olive oil!

Olive oil is good for moisturizing the skin. If you have dry skin, massage it well in your wet skin to avoid scaly flaky skin which if left untreated can cause serious skin diseases such as eczema, itchiness etc. Areas like elbow and knee get too dry and massaging them with it will lock in the moisture for longer. In addition, olive oil also provides nourishment to the body, strengthening it.

Dr. Qamar Iqbal, skin specialist, Institute of Skin Disease Hospital Karachi says that with the temperatures lowering down, illnesses and diseases are on the rise.
