The quick answer is yes, most likely. Why? Well, while skin is a barrier it is also permeable. And so as the weather gets colder and air becomes dryer, the body’s moisture is naturally lost to the surrounding environment. This moisture loss is exacerbated by the dry, forced air heating systems common in multi-season regions […]
