Being immersed in hot and humid weather for most of the year has our bodies accustomed to light moisture. Even if you have dry skin, a thin layer of lotion would usually suffice. But when we hit the cooler months, we tend to require more hydration than usual, with our skin becoming drier and more flaky. Particularly for those of us traveling to chilly countries, switching your lightweight lotions with a more hydrating cream will help soothe your skin.
