If there’s one thing that we can all shout OMG SAME, it’s how cold wind makes our skin dry in one way or another.
Why? Simply put, cold wind dries up the moisture of exposed skin, and since your body is warmer than the weather outside, the longer you’re out, the more your exposed skin will keep on drying and start to crack.
Sound familiar? We thought so.
Although cracked skin is mainly associated with the lips, cold wind affects every part of your skin so long as it’s exposed and not properly moisturized.
Thankfully, all it takes is applying a good amount of moisturizer to get you ready to face off against the cold, and if your skin doesn’t seem to be cooperating with the moisturizer you’re used to; go with a moisturizer that soothes your skin, then seal it off with a second moisturizer that’s thicker.
Before we jump off to the following less-chilly reason, we’d like to add that this also applies to everyone who enjoys recreating a blizzard with their AC in the warmer months as well.
