How Cold Weather Affects Your Skin and Hair

As the cold weather sets in, our skin and hair often bear the brunt of environmental changes. Understanding why these changes happen and how to counteract them can make a world of difference in maintaining healthy, hydrated skin and hair throughout the winter months. Let’s explore the science behind winter’s impact on your body and how Copper Johns can be your solution.

Why Does Cold Weather Impact Skin and Hair?

1. Low Humidity Levels During winter, cold air carries less moisture compared to warmer seasons. Indoor heating further depletes humidity, creating an arid environment that sucks moisture from the skin and hair. This leads to:

• Dry, flaky skin: The skin’s natural moisture barrier weakens, causing it to lose hydration rapidly.
• Hair dehydration: Hair strands become brittle, leading to split ends and breakage.

2. Harsh Winds Cold winds can strip away natural oils from the skin and hair, leaving them unprotected and vulnerable to damage. This results in:

• Chapped and cracked skin: Particularly common around exposed areas like the face and hands.
• Flyaways and frizz: Wind increases static electricity in the hair, making it harder to manage.

3. Temperature Fluctuations Moving between the cold outdoors and heated indoors can confuse your body, disrupting its ability to maintain a consistent moisture level. This can cause:

• Redness and irritation: Skin becomes sensitive to sudden changes in temperature.
• Increased hair shedding: The scalp’s hydration balance is disturbed, weakening hair follicles.

4. Lack of Sun Exposure Sunlight provides essential Vitamin D, which plays a critical role in skin repair and hair growth. In winter, limited sun exposure can slow these processes, leading to:

• Dull complexion: Skin may lose its natural glow.
• Slower hair growth: A lack of nutrients compromises the hair cycle.
