Brace your skin, as winter is coming. Apart from cold, foggy mornings, this season has a tendency to cause dryness and exacerbate conditions like eczema.

Avoid long hot baths and substitute soaps with moisturizing cleansers to have soft skin, says an expert. Dermatologist Aakrit Mehra shares skin care tips for the coming winter season...

- It is important to avoid long hot baths. Also, soap should be used sparingly and scrubs should be completely avoided during this season.

- Limit your showers to under 10 minutes, and ensure that you only use luke-warm water.

- Substitute soap with moisturizing cleansers or bars, as it won’t cause damage or dryness to the skin.

- In case of really dry skin, use soap-free cleansers for further care.
