Hi,
Yes, climate change can affect your skin. Moving to an area with a different climate can cause your skin to react differently due to changes in humidity, temperature, and other environmental factors. In dry and windy areas like West Texas, the lack of moisture in the air can cause your skin to become dehydrated, leading to an increase in
acne or other skin issues.
To improve your skin condition, you may want to consider adapting your skincare routine to better suit the new climate. For example, if your skin is becoming dry and flaky, you may want to use a more hydrating moisturizer or switch to a gentler cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.
Additionally, you can try using a humidifier in your home or workplace to add moisture to the air and keep your skin hydrated. It's also important to protect your skin from the sun by using broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and wearing protective clothing like hats and long-sleeved shirts.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
