The reasons why Everyone needs to take Skincare seriously Particularly during winter
Although the cold winter season is perfect for wearing fashionable scarves, drinking hot chocolate, and getting into the holiday spirit it is also a terrible time for your skin. Since a low humidity evaporates moisture on your skin’s surface and cold winds remove the skin’s moisture hence leaving it dry, flaky and easily irritated. Worse still, the use of indoor heating further exaggerates the problem by denying structures the moisture they need. This is why your skin requires special attention in the winter season out there like the one we are in now.
