Because Singapore is warm all year round, you can be unprepared for the harsh wintry climate when travelling to seasonal countries like the United States or Korea. The low humidity and extreme cold of winter can cause skin dryness and other problems you never experienced before. Find out what you need to winter-proof your skin and hair.

Winter Climate
Frigid temperatures, harsh winds, low humidity and central heating all spell one thing -- dry, dry skin and hair. You will need a more moisturizing regime for keeping your skin and hair in good condition. Knowing how skin and hair react in winter and adjusting your beauty regime can help prevent chapped lips, dry skin, and frizzy hair.
