To Your Health: Dry Skin and Eczema

PRINCE GEORGE — When the cold weather arrives, often times so does dry skin, and during our most recent cold snap, this was sure to be the case. We take a look at what causes dry skin and how you can treat it.

When winter time arrives, colder and drier air comes with it, and for people of all ages, dry skin may affect you during the winter time. With less moisture in the air, this can lead to dry skin.

Signs and symptoms of dry skin can range from itchiness, the skin feeling tight, to deep cracks that may bleed. Treatment is heavily based around moisturizing your skin.
