| Author | Topic: low temperatures/skin aging |
| Sanna 02-05-2003 10:30 AM | the winter here in Finland is so damn cold, in Lapland it was -40 celsius for weeks and here in Helsinki where I live it was -30 for a month or so, now it's been around -15, today -12...but the wind makes it soooo much colder, every day it's really windy...okay my question is: no matter how many coats and pants and sweaters and hats I layer on, my face FREEZES daily (I have a big dog who needs long walks) to the point where it is seriously red all over. I can't put clothes on my face and I have to walk outside. But it hurts and stings and my face gets all numb. The winter is long (way too long)...does all this freezing of my face cause the skin to prematurely age? (I'm not talking about the dehydrating effect, I do put oil on my face.) |

| Sanna 02-10-2003 11:26 AM | alright then. well I was going to move anyway, now I'm just going to do it sooner. ![[Cool]](../cool.gif) I need my long walks outside ..without aging my skin...Thank u Wai for the reply. |
