Windburn Warning: Redness, Itching, Burning - Protect Your Skin This Winter
- •Windburn, characterized by redness, burning, itching, and tightness, is a common winter skin problem exacerbated by cold winds and lack of moisture.
- •Dr. Divya Dwivedi, a dermatologist at Ghaziabad's District MMG Hospital, explains that cold winds damage the skin's natural protective barrier, leading to dryness and irritation.
- •Untreated windburn can lead to peeling skin, pain, and increased risk of other skin problems due to prolonged dryness and weakening of the skin.
- •Rising pollution in the NCR region is also a significant factor, directly damaging the skin and worsening windburn symptoms.
- •Prevention includes covering the face outdoors, using helmets, dupattas, masks, applying moisturizer, and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
