Fight the Cold!

Has the alligator skin of winter hit you yet? This dry, rough and scaly texture on our skin suddenly occurs once the cold sets in? Winter is hard not only on our backs from shoveling snow or paying heating bills, but our skin as well. Our skin looses more moisture in the winter due to the simple cycle of everyday tasks.

When waking up on a cold winter’s morning, it is natural that we begin layering our clothes. However once we start moving around, we begin to get warmer and produce sweat and expel moisture. Once the cold hits our moist skin we begin to shiver and cave in to the impulse of turning up the heat, which results in drying the moisture out of our skin. After a long day of winter cold who wouldn’t want to sink into a hot Jacuzzi to relax? Although that warm water relieves tension and muscle strain, it also washes away any moisture and oils that our skin has left after the bundling and blasting of heat.

According to online article http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/health-med-fit/live-well/later-gator---protecting-your-skin-from-winter-weather/article_64e4ecf6-b3cd-5672-a8b2-4130b1ca3781.html

"The reason we feel so dried out during the winter is because the humidity is gone," explained Natalie Semchyshyn, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at Saint Louis University, division of Laser and Cosmetic Surgery.
