With the onslaught of the cold weather, Jon and I have been feeling the effects of our central heating kicking in -- we've been overwhelmed with extremely dry, itchy skin, and while oatmeal baths and heavy creams seem to help, they're not quite doing the trick.

Check out the article for a full list of home remedies. You never know -- maybe what's ailing you can be cured in a jiffy, without drugs.
