"Six Winter Skin Care Tips From Dermatologists" - Julia Brucculieri
If you live in a part of the world that experiences cold weather, you’ll know that frigid temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin, both on the face and body. It gets dry, flaky and can sometimes even crack, which can be painful or itchy. Angela Lamb, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and director of the west side Mount Sinai dermatology faculty practice said, our skin “is the barrier that keeps water inside of your body, so when it is dry and cold, water evaporates off of the surface faster and easier.” To prevent dryness, Dr. Lamb recommended using a humidifier and suggested “drinking an extra glass or two of water.”
