beauty: Cold weather can be especially harsh on your skin. During the fall and winter seasons, the combination of cold temperatures and low humidity pulls moisture from your skin. It is this loss of moisture that causes our skin to become dry, red, and scaly. Moisturizers protect your skin from the elements. Think of moisturizers as a daily barrier between your skin and the air. Even if you have oily skin, you still may need a moisturizer in the winter.
David: Hi dear, Your article is excellent. Thank you for delivering a lot of very helpful information and facts. for example- Winter is the worst season for those who have dry skin – flaking, itchiness and tautness is usual and neglect of daily care can certainly lead to habitual dehydration, with sensitive skins and red patches.
manish: really thanks a lot
