Flaky patches, cracked skin, chappy lips...winter is back and so is the irritable dry skin that comes handy with it. With lower levels of humidity and cold and dry weather outside, water in our skin evaporates quickly, thus leaving our skin all tight and dry. Experts say that our skin loses more than 25 per cent of its ability to hold moisture in winter. Furthermore, people who play winter sports are even more likely to have a dry and chapped skin.

Here are a few natural that will help you deal with dry skin in winter:
