Why Does Skin Get Dry In The Winter? (Video)

Have you ever wondered why our skin gets so much dryer in the winter months than normal? In this short video from DermTV, Dr. Neal Schultz explains:


  • Colder Air = Less Moisture In The Air = Dry Skin
  • Strong Cold Winds (Wind Chill) = Amplified Water Loss = Dry Skin
  • Heating Systems = Rob Moisture From The Air = Dry Skin
Trade in your regular soap for gentle cleansers that contain moisturizers. Those with sensitive skin can benefit from a soap-free regimen which includes oil-based body scrubs. Follow up with a heavier moisturizer than you would use in the summer like a cream or body butter to lock in moisture!
