Friends, winter, which comes after the scorching heat, feels very pleasant, giving you the freedom to eat, drink, wear, and move around. However, winter brings with it many health problems. One such problem is dry skin, which diminishes your beauty. But have you ever wondered why this happens? Let's find out:
1. Cold Air Has Less Humidity
In winter, the air has very little humidity. This causes water to evaporate quickly from the outer layer of your skin, leaving it dry and tight.
2. Heaters Reduce Indoor Humidity
Using heaters can further dry out the air, which can cause moisture to escape from your skin even faster.
3. Slowed Sebum Production
Cold temperatures can slow down your skin's production of natural oil (sebum), reducing its ability to retain moisture.
4. Long, Hot Baths
Although warm baths may feel relaxing in winter, long, hot baths can strip the skin of its natural oils, making it even drier.
5. Exposure to Wind
Cold and strong winds can remove protective oils from the skin's surface, leaving it dry and vulnerable to irritation.
