Skin Redness in Fall? It Might Be Windburn, Not Dryness
• Windburn is skin irritation caused by wind, cold, and sun, leading to redness and soreness.
• Distinguish windburn from dry skin: windburn is red and inflamed, while dry skin is tight and flaky.
• Protect skin with sunscreen, clothing, and barrier creams; consult a dermatologist for severe cases.
Windburn: more than just fall dryness
You might think fall redness is just dryness, but windburn could be the culprit. Windburn is skin irritation caused by wind exposure, worsened by cold and sun. Unlike dryness, windburn damages the outer skin layer, causing redness, soreness, and burning.
