Experts Explain How Air Conditioning Affects Skin and Ways to Maintain Hydration

Experts highlight that air conditioning, while providing relief in summer, can dry out skin by weakening its natural barrier, leading to dehydration, sensitivity, and dullness across all skin types. Dr. Blossom Kochhar explains that AC-induced dryness disrupts the skin's repair cycle, especially during sleep, increasing vulnerability to pollution and UV damage. She recommends hydrating gels layered with moisturizers and maintaining good skincare routines to restore moisture without compromising comfort in hot weather.
