Winter Skin Dryness in Dallas

Winter can seriously irritate your skin, especially in Dallas, where fluctuating temperatures and drier air create the perfect storm for dehydration. If you struggle with tightness, itchiness, or flakiness when the weather gets colder, you’re not alone.

Fortunately, the Dermatology Treatment and Research Center team, led by Dr. Russ Radusky, a board-certified dermatologist, offers clinical dermatology services to help you combat these issues. Understanding the causes of winter dryness and taking proactive steps can keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.

What Causes Winter Skin Dryness?

Several factors cause or worsen dry skin during the winter months, including:

• Lower humidity levels and cooler temperatures: These changes strip the skin of its natural moisture.
• Indoor heating: Turning up the heat draws more moisture from the air and increases dryness.
• Frequent handwashing and hot showers: They may be comforting, but they can also exacerbate dryness, itchiness, and other symptoms.

Tips to Combat Winter Skin Dryness

You can’t control the weather. However, there are still steps you can take to protect your skin, including:

• Use a Humidifier: Combat dry indoor air by adding moisture to your home or workspace.
• Switch Cleansers: Harsh soaps can strip away natural oils. Opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers that nourish while they clean.
• Moisturize After Bathing: Apply a thick, cream-based moisturizer while your skin is damp. This will lock in hydration.
• Don’t Skip Sunscreen: Even in winter, UV rays can damage your skin. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential year-round.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s natural barrier from the inside out.

If these tips don’t relieve your symptoms, it may be time to seek professional care.
