Dermatologists are addressing common winter skincare myths that exacerbate skin issues like dullness, flaking, and breakouts. Dr. Abhishek Pilani highlights that misinformation, not just cold weather, causes these problems. Key myths busted include the belief that sunscreen is unnecessary in winter, as UVA rays persist year-round and cause aging and pigmentation. Another myth is that hot showers benefit dry skin; dermatologists advise against them as hot water strips natural oils and damages the skin barrier, potentially worsening conditions like eczema.
