Tight skin, rough knuckles, chapped lips? Say hello to winter, about to wreak havoc from head-to-toe.
Here are some tips for you to keep your skin happily hydrated throughout the cold snap.

Water has multiple benefits for your health, including improving physical performance, boosting energy levels, preventing symptoms such as headaches and keeping you away from the Winter flu.
However if you don’t like the plain taste of pure water, try infusing it with Winter inspired ingredients such as ginger, cinnamon and honey. These infusions make your water taste absolutely delicious and they assist with warming up your body, too.
