(Australia-NewsWire.Com, March 15, 2016 ) Sydney, Australia -- Dermatologists warn people of the adverse skin conditions caused by the dry and harsh winter season. According to Dr. Carrie Randall, local Rockford dermatologist, skin problems are very prominent during winter because the cold temperatures can make the skin go dry and flaky. Dr. Randall has seen plenty of patients who have recurring skin problems which only appear during the cold months.
"Some of my patients wonder why their skin is always peeling or itching during December to February. This is very much likely due to the cold which dries out the skin's natural oils, making the skin more susceptible to allergies and irritation. This could result to more skin problems," she revealed. Although winter is the time when these problems are most prominent, Dr. Randall said skin care should be done all year round.
"If you don't take care of your skin, it will definitely present more problems during winter because it doesn't have strong defenses. It's easier to irritate and dry out if the skin is naturally unhealthy," she added. In fact, Randall even warned that there are recorded cases where people had suffered frostbite without noticing until it's too late.
To alleviate skin dryness, Dr. Randall recommends using a moisturizer, since it helps maintain the skin's natural oils and help regulate the production of sebum. She also advises Vitamin C serums instead of creams, due to the its antioxidant and rejuvenating properties. Serums also tend to go deeper in the skin than creams, therefore it is more efficient.
Vitamin C serums restore the skin's natural oil and allows it to regenerate faster for a healthy and glowing appearance. Dr. Randall also suggests eating a well-balanced diet with complete vitamins and minerals to help keep the skin healthy. "Your skin's health reflects your overall health. When you take care of it, it shows," the dermatologist said.
