Who wouldn’t wish for it to be winter all year! Isn’t this season just amazing? The cozy feeling of being wrapped up under our woolens while the cold breeze blows! While our love for this chilled season can never deprive, it is also true that winters can give a tough time to our skin. Thus, it is very essential to know the right way to cope with this season. Here are a few ways in which winter has a damaging effect on our skin.

Damaging Effects Of Winter On Skin

Dryness

Winter can wreak havoc on your skin by stripping off the layer of oil that is responsible to trap moisture on your skin, causing it to look dry and parched. This is mainly caused due to the drop in the temperature outdoors and a total lack of humidity. Such a dryness can make your skin flaky and rough. The absence of moisture and over-dryness also leads to the formation of cracks on your skin.

Premature Ageing

If winters are making your skin dry, know that this dryness can play a role in making you look older! With dryness, comes premature ageing which gives rise to wrinkles and fine lines on your skin. These wrinkles may not only show up on your face but on any part of your body.

Sun Damage

People often have a misconception that the sun rays cannot harm their skin during the winters which is an absolute lie! Sun damage is totally prevalent in winter as well. The UVA and UVB rays do not miss one chance to tan your skin and make it look dull and tired. Constant exposure to the sun eventually introduces your skin dark patches and freckles.

Itchy Skin

If you cannot stop the urge to scratch your face, it is winter that is to be blamed! The winter dryness accompanied by flaky skin and low humidity ends up making your skin feel itchy and irritated.
