As the outside air cools and the heat starts to crank on indoors, you may notice your skin becoming flaky, maybe even a bit itchy. Welcome to fall and winter. Our skin is protective both by keeping moisture in and not allowing outside factors (germs and toxins) to penetrate and create damage. When temperatures drop, the air gets drier \u2014 both indoors and outdoors \u2014 and moisture gets pulled from the lipid barrier. Lack of moisture causes cells to clump together creating flaky, dry skin. And even if dry skin doesn\u2019t really bother you, treating it \u201cprevents itch, eczema and psoriasis flares, and potentially skin infections,\u201d said Dr. Dina Strachan, a clinical assistant professor at N.Y.U. Grossman School of Medicine and a dermatologist in New York City. \u201cAnyone can get eczema if your skin gets dry enough.\u201d To keep your skin healthy and comfortable throughout the fall and winter, Dr. Craiglow said, it makes sense to change your skin care regimen now.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
