Does Cold Weather Cause Acne?
The truth is that cold weather may cause acne indirectly. Cold weather is a physical stress on your skin and can
cause breakouts. Seasonal acne is very common, in fact many people have much clearer skin in the summer and experience a greater
number of breakouts the winter months. The reason is because the weather is windy, dry and cold. You can’t change the cold weather
but there are several things that you can do to protect your skin from the cold weather.
The first thing to prepare your skin for the cold weather is to use an aloe vera based skin moisturizer on exposed skin.
This way your skin does not get dried out by the cold weather and is not as susceptible to breakouts. Moisture is the key to
protection against cold weather. It is important that in cold weather months you take fewer showers and make sure you apply hand & body lotion to your skin each day.
The more moisture your skin can absorb, the more resistant it will be to the cold weather and using a high quality skin moisturizer is the best first step.
