Peak winter may have passed, but it is still cold enough that any neglect on your part could affect your skin adversely. When it is cold, blood vessels constrict and, hence, skin looks dry and lusterless. The skin's natural moisture content is also reduced leading to dryness and even acne. Common skin ailments during this time include xerosis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, seborrhoeic capitis (dandruff), pruritus (itching) and atopic dermatitis. But the correct skin care routine (one that suits your skin type) will have you glowing in no time. |
