Winter can be a tough season especially when it comes to your skin. Combine the cold temperatures outside with the warm temperatures inside, and skin can begin to crack. And that is not good.
The cold weather is very difficult for us to help protect our skin because we lose nutrients 1, we lose moisture there's essential oils that are built into our skin. And all those things are difficult to replenish 2 during the winter.
If untreated, dry skin can sometimes lead to dermatitis which causes swelling 3 and infection. Use creams and soaps with moisturizers to keep skin soft; avoid those with alcohol or perfumes.
