Dry skin in summer — isn’t that not supposed to happen? 6 Products that can help
Dry skin in summer?
As soon as summer hit something really weird happened — I felt like my skin was feeling drier than usual. Especially my hands. I would slather on the moisturizer every time I would get to my desk. I thought it was just me but then a few friends started complaining about the same thing. It seems counterintuitive — when it’s warm and sunny, don’t you think..well..sweaty? Maybe we were just not hydrating ourselves enough, which could very well be the case for. I’m known to never drink enough water (I’m working on it!!).
Other people credit flakey or “scaley” skin to sun burn (this is the part I yell at you for not using SPF when hanging out in the sun!!). OK seriously though, I wanted some expert advice so I turned to Dr. Mona A. Gohara, assistant clinical professor of the department of dermatology at Yale’s School of Medicine, who says many people simply fail to moisturize as diligently in the warmer months.
