When the temperature really starts to drop, I find myself a dry shell. A horribly hard shell of the person I once struggled to stay hydrated with. The change of seasons always takes its toll on my facial skin, so I try too hard to control it so acne breakouts and perioral dermatitis don’t rear their ugly heads. And I know I’m not the only one going through this. Panic swept across the country as everyone tried to get their dermis back to normal despite the weather (my skincare group chat).
New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Robin Gmailek previously told HuffPost that in the winter, “the air gets colder, drier, and less humid, which causes moisture to be lost from the skin to the surrounding environment.” he said. With these factors working against us, even those with the simplest skin care routines find it difficult to swap out regular serums and moisturizers for options optimized for deep skin hydration. Must be considered.
