Why Winters Can Be Rough For Skin

Winters lead to less humidity in the air. Which makes the transepidermal layer of the skin lose its water.

Delhi’s seasonal smog makes oxidative stress worse, which causes the skin to become sensitive, itchy, red, and inflamed.

Gloomy days have less UV light, which decreases the skin’s metabolism. which makes the cell turnover slower, and the skin looks dull and uneven. The skin gets dry, flaky, and sensitive from this, especially from staying away from scrubbing and randomly applying too many moisturizers.

Mild exfoliation once a week can help reduce the buildup from makeup, stress, and more. If you are using activities like retinols and AHA/BHAs, then adding a thick moisturizer can help.
