January marks the peak of the winter season that can take a toll on your hair and skin. The cold winds strip moisture from the scalp and skin, leaving hair dry, lips chappy and skin flaky. Hot showers further add to the problem by devoiding the skin and hair of natural oils, causing dryness and irritation. In winter, our reduced water intake can contribute to dehydration, impacting skin and hair nourishment. This season, break the cycle and adopt a nourishing skincare and haircare routine. Here are some beauty essentials to that may let you embrace the winter as wonderland:
