Why Winter Challenges Your Skin
Winter is beautiful—but your skin pays the price. Cold temperatures, harsh winds, and dry air draw moisture out of your skin. Indoors, we turn on the heat, which lowers humidity even further. As a result, your skin loses water faster than normal—a process known as transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This can leave your skin feeling tight, rough, or even irritated.
The outermost layer of your skin—the stratum corneum—acts as a protective barrier. When this barrier becomes dry, it doesn’t function as effectively. This increases the risk of redness, flaking, and itching.
