Contrary to what your grandmother might have told you, you cannot get sick from cold or damp weather. The climate has no bearing on how your body responds to infections and invasive viruses. While this might be true for the likelihood of you catching a cold, higher dampness, humidity and overall colder temperatures can definitely have a negative impact on your appearance. Here\u2019s what to do to protect your skin and hair in damp, wet weather.<\/p>\n

Protect Your Hair from the Rain<\/h2>\n

For those of us in the northern hemisphere of the earth, autumn and winter begin around September and go until March. Although not every region has the same amount of wet weather, the impact of precipitation is even more intense when the temperature dips. Here are a few things you can do for your hair in these wet, colder months.<\/p>\n

Use Dry Shampoo<\/h2>\n

If your hair gets wet and soppy, a good run-through of dry shampoo and both reduce the level of moisture and give it a little bit of that lost luster. This tip works for anyone with hair, and it doesn\u2019t have to be long to get the benefits of this technique.<\/p>\n

Stop the Frizz<\/h2>\n

Contrary to what you might expect, frizzy hair we associate with fall and winter is caused by dryness, which is also a major concern, thanks to our furnace and other heating technology that often dries the air and, consequently, our hair. One way to fight this frizz is to keep the hair well-nourished and moisturized with specifically formulated shampoos, conditioners, and other hair treatments.<\/p>\n

Find the Balance<\/h2>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean the wet weather of autumn and winter is good for our hair because it definitely isn\u2019t. Wet weather can deform hair by over-moisturizing, putting so much water into the strand that it changes shape and goes where we don\u2019t want it to. In cases like this, over-moisturizing is the last thing you want to do, and a balanced approach is best.<\/p>\n

Skincare in Autumn<\/h2>\n

Your hair might be the focus of your self-care efforts during these colder seasons when you spend so much of it wearing more clothes, you should never ignore the demands of your body\u2019s largest organ: your skin. Taking care of your skin in the autumn and winter is also all about finding the right balance. No matter what kind of skin you have, here are some basic tips you can use:<\/p>\n
