Specifically, it encourages individuals to adopt proactive measures to combat the effects of harsh weather conditions on the body’s largest organ. These measures encompass hydration, protection from environmental factors, and the consistent application of emollient-rich products.

Implementing these practices can significantly mitigate discomfort, reduce the incidence of skin ailments, and improve overall well-being during periods of low humidity and extreme temperatures. Historical precedent for acknowledging seasonal health concerns suggests a growing awareness of the interplay between environmental factors and physiological health.
