Winter has arrived in Saudi Arabia and with it comes not only the cold, chill and damp but also dry skin. I’ve lived in many places but have never experienced dry (and itchy) skin like I do in Saudi Arabia during the winter time. The dry and itchy skin is most notable for those in Nej’d (which includes Riyadh) whereas other areas of the Kingdom continue to have more moisture in the air.
A good skin lotion and lip balm are essential during this season and should be used generously multiple times a day whether male, femle, adult or child.
My favorites which give immediate relief to dry skin and chapped cracked lips are:
for the lips I recommend the “Kiss Me Quick Lip Balm” brand which is clear and comes in various scented flavors. I like the mango. Now if you are male and hesitant to purchase the brand due to its name, all chemists are selling generic lip balms as well which will also do the trick.
and for the skin, Bioskincare Aloe Vera Moisturizer Cream for the face and body.
These products can be found at Marks and Spencers.
