Extreme cold even though we feel like it’s normal for us since we live in quite frigid areas is bad for your skin and the skin being rich in moisture, it can freeze and crack leading to the condition known as frostbite. Frostbite has the skin and in too extreme situations, even the underlying muscles freezing, effectively killing them resulting in a very painful medical condition. Keep skin covered and if possible, stay indoors and avoid exposure in the first place. Anybody who has had frostbite knows the pain it can cause and the loss of skin that can result. The blackened skin is in fact dead and will have to be taken out to allow healthy skin to grow back if possible. If damage goes in too deep that the re-generative tissue is damaged itself, all damaged tissue is removed to prevent gangrene or tissue rot wherein dead tissue decays releasing toxins into the body as it does.

The condition is quite common due to the changing seasons and life would be better if it is dealt with well before the cold takes hold. Moisture, or the lack of it is the culprit and skin health is determined by a balance between moisture, elasticity and acidity, all of which is needed for healthy skin not only during the cold winter months but all year round so we maintain healthy skin all the time. Hot water, though it feels soothing tends to leach out natural oils the skin produces to lubricate itself, coupled with harsh soaps we use and love, they can indeed disrupt the natural balance of skin leading to itch.

The older you are the less your ability to detect changes in temperature which may put you in a very dangerous situation with today’s extreme warm or cold weather. As we get older the skin tends to degrade and lose elasticity with the sensory cells either getting less sensitive to the temperature or dying off all together. Our skin is under a continuous regenerative state that at a certain age slows making it quite stiff and prone to breakage. Having people to watch and monitor elderly people is vital for the health of such elderly folks like the case of the war veteran who dies right after the electrical company installed a current limiter at the outside meter tripped leaving him to die a slow and painful cold death that caused much uproar.

Those who reside in four season countries are more prone to skin damage than those living in

the tropics. This is because people of two seasonal climates only need to adjust to two

kinds of weather patterns, the summer and the rainy season. This is not the case with those

who had to experience summer, winter, spring and fall. Since their skin is exposed to more

weather changes, and abrupt changes too seeing as how climate change has altered the

standard passing of seasons nowadays, a more intensive skin regimen would be required of

them. Hydration is the key for these individuals, as well as sun protection, so that

translates to moisturizer and sunblock. During the winter season, people are still advised
