Why does my skin feel drier as the weather cools down?

During the fall, the air becomes drier, and humidity levels drop. This decrease in moisture can lead to a reduction in your skin’s natural hydration levels, causing it to feel drier and tighter. Additionally, the cooler temperatures can disrupt the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to dryness. To combat this, consider switching to a richer moisturizer that can provide deeper hydration. Look for products containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin, which help to lock in moisture and strengthen the skin’s barrier.

Pro Tip: Start using a humidifier at night when the weather cools down to prevent dehydrated skin.
