Viruses are much more likely to multiply in warm climates – like indoors. In fact, a study published by the Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine found that cold weather may actually stimulate your immune system. So, grab your scarf, coat, and mittens – and enjoy the chilly air.

It’s Winter. Dermatologist Dr. Ellen Marmur says acne gets worse in Winter – and it’s down to the dry weather. She says cold outside air has significantly less moisture than the warm or hot air from Spring and Summer. Combine that with windy conditions, and your skin is stripped of natural fats and oils. Those oils usually act as a barrier, keeping bacteria out – and holding moisture in. So without them, it’s a lot easier for dirt, pollution and bacteria to access our pores. The next thing you know: Hello, zits! Another problem in winter are the hot showers we love. They also strip skin of its natural moisture. Add to all of that a dirty scarf rubbing against your chin – and it’s a recipe for skin flare-ups. So wash your scarf once a week, try to take lukewarm showers, and moisturize your skin more in winter than any other season to avoid breakouts.

Keep your nose warm! Research at Yale University found that low temperatures make our immune system less effective, making it much easier for the cold virus to invade our system, and make us sick. So, try wrapping your face and nose in a scarf when it’s chilly outside……That way, the carbon dioxide you breathe out will warm the oxygen you breathe in – which will help keep the germs at bay.
