Winter weather affects on different skin/hair types

Winter weather can affect different skin and hair types differently. Those with oily skin and acne can see a flare-up as the epidermal barrier gets disrupted and inflamed. Those with dry skin will see more dryness, peeling, and patchy skin.

Curly hair is more prone to getting brittle and winter weather can be harsh for them. Dry hair will also see brittleness and dryness. Those that get hair color and use heat styling methods will see a worsening of the hair condition with more dryness and brittleness.

Skincare needs to be switched up in winter. A good moisturizer is essential in winter but does take care in choosing a cream or serum that will not clog the pores. Coconut oil is not only non-comedogenic but increases the skin hydration levels by at least 30% as they are rich in saturated fatty acids and will penetrate the skin barrier to strengthen it. Coconut-based hair oil is also rich in MCTs and lauric acid and penetrated 10 layers deep thus adding to the hair and scalp health.
