When temperatures drop and indoor heating makes the air drier, skin can lose moisture more easily. Hands are especially exposed because frequent washing can add to the strain, leaving them feeling rough, tight or cracked.
Why dry skin can feel different in winter
Moisturisers come in different textures. Lotions are generally lighter, while richer, oil-based care tends to remain on the skin for longer and can help reduce moisture loss. For very dry skin, richer creams or ointment-like products are therefore often preferred over light lotions.
Where body butter fits in
Body butter is an especially rich form of body care. ROSEMETIK Body Butters are made with carefully selected plant butters and oils that leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortably cared for. This makes them particularly useful in a winter routine for hands, elbows, legs and other areas that feel dry or rough.
Important: Body butter is a cosmetic product, not a medicine, and it does not replace medical treatment. Deep, painful or bleeding cracks can sometimes be associated with hand eczema or another skin condition and should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
How to get the most from rich winter care
Apply body butter after washing your hands or showering, ideally while the skin is still slightly damp. Rich emollient care can then help hold moisture in the skin. For hands, you can also apply a small amount before bed.
Winter skincare does not need to be complicated
Cleanse gently, avoid very hot water and replenish the skin regularly with rich emollient care. A simple, consistent routine can make a noticeable difference to how your skin feels during winter.
