I am in my 60's and get really dry skin in the winter , I suggest everyoe uses alot of moisturisers. Even my 6 yr old grandson's skin gets dry and rashy unless we use some good lotion. I hate dry and flaky skin , especially my elbows lol

Don't have enough fire wood? Try newspapers
When temperatures plummet and howling outdoor conditions make for chilly, bleak days, many people turn to fireplaces in order to radiate heat inside their home. Collecting enough wood can be a challenge at times, and there is a trick that works in a pinch.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, you can fashion makeshift fire logs by recycling old newspapers. They suggest to roll newspapers around a broom or similar size pole until the paper is at the desired size. Dunk the "log" into water and let it completely soak. Let it dry out overnight and by the time morning rolls around and the house is cold after a night's sleep, you'll have a paper log suitable for burning like regular wood.

Don’t forget your furry friends. Bring pets indoors. If they can’t come inside, make sure they have enough shelter to keep them warm and that they can get to unfrozen water. We have a water bowl that plugs into a outlet to keep the water from freezing for our feral cats.

When I need to go out in the winter, I always dress in layers. How many depends on the temperature. When it's below zero, I need A LOT of layers!! LOL

Make sure you have a Carbon Monoxide detector working . A lot of people die because of carbon monoxide from your heater . it seems every year I hear on the news how some ones family had died because of this. It is an odor less gas you can not smell it. Stay safe.
