People in cooler climates and northern latitudes tend to more often have dry, flaky skin compared to people in the southern and warmer states. Climate has a large effect on your skin. When it comes to creating a proper skincare routine for yourself, temperatures and weather conditions will be a direct factor to consider. 

Common Skin Problems Caused By Weather Conditions 
Sun damage is one of the most common types of skin damage during the hotter months. While extreme dry skin is often seen during the winter months. Some other consequences an individual can experience from certain weather conditions include:

- Winter rash
- Heat rash
- Sunburn blisters
- Cold urticaria

Extreme weather can have a dramatic effect on your body. Heat exhaustion, dehydration, and sunburns are all common side effects of extreme weather. Extreme temperatures can easily cause dry skin, while wind, rain, and snow can cause chapped skin, redness, and irritation. Living in a place with a changing climate, like New Jersey, it is important to understand how to adjust your skincare routine to protect your skin from specific conditions.
