We are getting close to Spring, but until then, remember to continue to bundle up and protect yourself from the harsh weather. Pre-existing conditions, often related to skin, can be worsened by cold weather. Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis and Raynaud’s disease are all skin conditions that can become more irritated in the Winter.

Even if you do not have pre-existing skin conditions, exposure to the cold weather and dry winds can still cause damage by drawing out moisture and leaving your skin feeling itchy and cracked. This can get worse when you are suddenly inside, exposed to hot dry air from the heater. If you’re not proactive in moisturizing and protecting your skin from exposure to the cold, your skin can become cracked and irritated to the point of bleeding.

If you are having skin problems that you would like to get under control, book an appointment with our doctors. In the meantime, read through our tips to care for adult acne.
