Winter time can be harsh to ones' body, here are 8 tips to help you through the rest of winter.

Why reinvent the wheel if it's already working, that's our new philosophy for beauty tips, there is so much information on the internet already why come up with new tips. We decided to create lists showcasing some of our favorite tips that are already out there on the internet biosphere.

Just Add Honey
To soften stubborn dry patches on rough elbows and knees, opt for a rich, hydrating scrub. "I use a simple mix of honey and sugar," says Ford makeup artist Lisa Trunda. Studies show that humectant honey reduces inflammation, and sugar (applied topically) increases circulation in the skin, says Miami dermatologist Jeremy Green, MD.

"This can be especially helpful in winter when blood flow is typically diverted from the skin to keep your core warm."

Overnight Moisturize
Dryer areas like hands, feet, elbows, and knees have thin skin and tend to lose moisture faster than other areas on the body. Consider slathering on a deep moisturizing balm Skin Food by Weleda at night, then wear cotton gloves and socks to seal in the moisture until morning.

Body Moisturizer
Since body moisturizer a) only works if you use it and b) is mind-numbingly boring to put on, you might as well find one that smells so good, you'll actually look forward to applying it. Keep an eye out for body butters, especially ones that are so rich you can turn the tub upside down without any cream falling out—perfect for rehabbing dry patches. We like Kai Body Butter, which has a delicate floral scent, and Lavanila The Healthy Body Butter Pure Vanilla.

Avoid Too Many Hot Baths

Sure, it feels great on a cold day or evening, and a hot bath every once in awhile is all right, but don’t make a daily habit of it, as super hot water degenerates lipid barriers. If you do overheat your water, be sure to use an all-over moisturizer when you get out. Consider also using oatmeal or baking soda additives to soothe dry skin.

Use Coconut Oil
You probably already know the amazing effects of coconut oil, but it can be messy and make your skin too greasy when you use it in the morning. Instead, apply coconut oil all over your body before you go to bed.
