5 DIY winter scrubs that can exfoliate without stripping your skin of the moisture it needs in colder weather

Cold weather and dry indoor air leave skin feeling rough, flaky and tight, and the first instinct is usually to scrub it all away. But harsh exfoliation in winter can backfire, stripping the natural oils your skin is already short of.

These five homemade scrubs use everyday kitchen staples, and each one is designed to polish without leaving your skin drier than before.
