If chapped lips, cracked hands and dry and itchy skin recently snuck back into your life … welcome to winter! Two factors majorly affect our skin during the winter: colder temperatures and a lack of moisture in the air. Both can damage unprotected skin.
Water evaporates more quickly from your skin in cold and dry air and your skin feels dry, tight and looks flaky. In addition, the risk of sunburn is high during the winter because ultraviolet light from the sun is intensified when it reflects off snow, making exposed skin extremely vulnerable to sun damage.
Skin protection is key during the winter months. Read all about in our winter newsletter .
