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

to wear both because the dry cold could actually burn our skin. For these instances, it is

advised that one wears a sunblock mixed with a moisturizer to survive the cold dry months.

Without this, skin will peel off from the dry cold and you will also develop mild ice burns.
