Now that the winter season is upon us, it is important to change our tactics while dealing with skincare challenges, like dry skin.

Dermatologist Dr. Chiranjiv Chhabra said that dry skin looks dull because it is caused by dead skin cells, and both need to be taken care of by exfoliating on a weekly basis.

While beauty expert, Shahnaz Hussain, suggested mixing honey and brown sugar into a paste to use as a scrub, as it exfoliates and moisturizes the skin, skin specialist Dr Rashmi Shetty said that rather than going for harsh scrubs, one should go for products that have natural exfoliating properties.

Shetty advised to apply the juice of a lemon and to keep it on for five minutes before washing off and in the case of tamarind, it's pulp should be rubbed for a couple of minutes and dead cells will dissolve away.

Moreover, Monsoon Salon India offers the goodness of Vitamin C in its Tamarind and Sugarcane scrub, which renews the skin by removing dead skin on the surface, making it ideal for even those with sensitive skin.
