Why is Dry Skin So Common in Winter?
Low Humidity Levels
Winter air is often dry and harsh, pulling moisture from your skin and leaving it dehydrated. Indoor heating can make the situation worse by further reducing humidity levels, making your skin prone to flaking and irritation.

Hot Water and Long Showers
While a hot shower feels heavenly during cold mornings, it strips your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and increased sensitivity.
