Do the seasons matter when it comes to how skin behaves?
Yes, for instance, body hair and dead skin cells can irritate skin in the summer months, according to WebMD. To prevent irritation, exfoliate to get rid of flaky skin, use moisturizer and shave or wax body hair to prevent bumps, rashes and trapped sweat that can irritate skin. As for winter, cold temperatures can leave skin dry and uncomfortable, so a rich moisturizer is important to prevent cracked, chapped skin.
