**Shea Tribe** Lemongrass oil OR Lavender and Chamomile Oil

Tip 3 Stay away from hot showers: we know hot showers feel good on a cold morning but they actually dry out your skin the most. How about try a good mix of lukewarm water instead. Thank us Later.

Tip 4 Apply Body oil while body is still damp: This is the season to make body oils your best friend because, you dare not be caught with ashy feet, elbows and knees please! Once you are out of the shower,we recommend you pat the body down a bit with a towel, leave the skin a bit DAMP,and go in with your body oil of choice. This will leave your skin silky smooth and also helps your skin to retain maximum moisture for longer periods throughout your day.
