Look, I’ll be honest, my skin gets disgustingly dry in winter. I’m talking dry and bleeding knuckles, legs that look as crackled as a drought-ravaged paddock, and tiny flakes of skin all through my clothes. One thing I’ve been doing is an in-shower moisturising sesh.
The thing about moisturising in the shower is that you’re getting your skin at a time when your pores are nice and open from all the steam happening in the shower, especially in winter because we all probably crank the hot water tap up, right?
You’ve washed off all the grime from the day and now it’s time to hydrate. Once you get out of the shower and start to cool down, it’s much harder to hydrate right down into the dermis (the layer underneath the epidermis).
Plus when you’re in the shower you get to stay nice and warm, which is a huge bonus in the middle of winter.
Nobody wants to be in the nud in winter for too long.
Think of in-shower moisturisers as a conditioner for your skin. It’s a real game-changer, especially when moisturising normally feels like you’re trying to keep a dry creek bed wet with a water pistol.

I first got into moisturising in the shower when I discovered the Nivea In-Shower body lotion a few years ago.
