A lot of people have been emailing me; They seem to be dreading this up and coming winter. For some reason, people believe that their acne worsens during winter time, but improves during the summer time.

When looking into this sort of topic, we need to understand that there are many other factors that can come into play during the different times of the season.

Looking at how seasons affect you:

Summer Time = More sleep, less stress, more sun, and more fun.

Winter Time = More work, more stress, less sleep, less fun, and less fun.

Looking at how seasons affect your skin:

Summer Time = More tans, more sunburns, harsh weather, but less visible acne.

Winter Time = Less sun, colder weather, but more visible acne.

Does weather affect acne?

When it comes down to it, weather can definitely play a role in your complexion. However, we also have to remember that the time of the season can also affect what we're doing as individuals.

Some people believe that the sun exacerbates acne, while other believes that it makes it better. See Does Tanning Help Acne and Tanning Beds Acne: Good or Bad?

On the other side, winter has colder weather, which can definitely be quite irritating to the skin.
