As we move into winter, the harsh cold weather can wreak havoc on our skin. But there are a few simple changes that can make all the difference between dull, itchy skin and a glowing, hydrated complexion. During the winter months the cold, low humidity air can cause the skin to become dry, flaky, and irritable, explains Dr Paul Nassif, Botched TV star, skin specialist and founder of Nassif Medical Spa UK. As a result, this can damage our skin s barrier function, making us more prone to damage caused by sunlight, pollution, and smoking.
Dr Nassif says that by adapting your winter skincare routine, you can help your skin accommodate the cooler and more harsh weather conditions, leaving your complexion happy and healthy.
