1. Turn Your Home Into the Tropics: Humidifier is your best friend in winter. They're reasonably-priced, so get one for each room of the house that you spend a lot of time in (the bedroom being the most important). Pick up a little one to keep under your desk at work as well.
2. Guzzle Water Like a Fish: This bit of advice is right on the money at any time of year. Replenishing your body with water gives you more energy, benefits your overall health, and will also help keep your skin from becoming dehydrated. Aim for at least eight glasses a day, and remember to grab a bottle to take along anytime you leave the house. Hot herbal tea is a great alternative when the weather turns cold. 3. Moisturize, and Then Moisturize Some More: Apply lotion liberally and often all over your body. Slather it on as soon as you get out of the shower in the morning, and keep a small bottle with you during the day to re-apply to your hands after washing, or any other part of the body that dries out quickly. For both facial and body moisturizers, you may want to switch to a thicker formula during the winter months.
4. Don't Forget to Exfoliate: Keep a gentle body scrub and a less abrasive facial exfoliant in the shower and remember to use them both once or twice a week. This gets rid built-up dead skin cells and exposes a fresh layer of skin ready to suck up all the moisturizer you're going to apply when you step out of the tub.
5. Supplement with Flaxseed Oil Daily: Flaxseed oil could be a useful supplement for essentially moisturizing your body from within. What's more, flaxseed is purported to have numerous overall health benefits because it's rich in essential fatty acids. The refrigerated kind generally has a milder, fresher taste than un-chilled oil. You can also pick it up in capsule form.
