We may not notice it, but winter affects our body particularly the skin. If you're someone who enjoys snow and winter, then you should understand that too much exposure from cold temperature may have detrimental effects on your skin. On the other hand, if you stay inside your home and rely on central heating, you should know that the indoor atmosphere could affect your skin, too. Hence, both spending your days outdoor to play snow and staying indoors to keep warm have detrimental effects.
