The winter season takes its special toll on your skin.
Instead of getting a much deserved rest and rejuvenation, the cooler seasons work our skin overtime as it prepares for the demanding task of defending itself against the woes of cold weather. The chilling cold in the air from the change of seasons can leave your skin chapped and devastatingly dry.
The scarcity of humidity, compounded by indoor heating is the most vicious skin-drying scoundrel.
Our skin is made up of different layers. The outer layer (the epidermis) is the most likely target of our environment as the harsh elements can hardly reach the next lower, or dermal layer that lies below.
The epidermis constantly peels off and rejuvenates. But during this course of molting the skin looks dry and you tend to lose the natural glow that you were so proud of. The peeling off is more likely to occur during the fall & winter months as the winds are dry and squeeze out the natural oily texture of the skin.
Again there are many who are allergic to the cold environment. They suffer from painful allergic manifestations that have a detrimental effect on the skin and can even lead to infections. They fail to acclimatize with the sudden change in the climate and the greatest effect is felt on the skin. Skin happens to be the reflection of how you are affected by changes in your environment.
Winter often spells disaster for your skin. It looks rough and chapped, feels tight and drawn. What should be one of your greatest assets becomes one of your biggest beauty problems. You have to take extra care for your skin during this season. However, with the right skin care and preventive maintenance you will find that having beautiful skin, even during the harshest weather is not that difficult after all.
