Winter Body Care: How to Fix Dry, Flaky Skin on Legs & Elbows

<h2>Intro</h2><p>We spend all our energy on our faces, but nothing screams "winter skin" quite like scaly legs and cracked heels. If you've noticed your skin tightening after a shower or seeing white flakes when you walk in barefoot, you aren't alone. The cold weather strips moisture faster than we realize.</p><h2>The Shower Rule</h2><p>Stop using water hotter than your body temperature. Hot water strips natural oils.</p><h2>The "Thick-Texture" Trick</h2><p>Look for creams containing Urea for cracked heels. It breaks down dead skin cells effectively.</p><h2>The Budget Routine</h2><p>Combining body oil + cream for deep absorption. Apply oil first, then lock it in with cream.</p><h2>Don't Forget</h2><p>Hands and elbows need special attention too. Rub extra cream on these rough patches before bed.</p>
