Yes, weather makes a big difference for me. My skin is fine in summer, then gets tight as soon as the heat turns on indoors. I started using a humidifier in my bedroom and a heavier moisturizer at night during winter.
Can changes in weather really affect my skin’s moisture?
My skin is much drier when the weather changes, especially when it gets cold or the heat is on inside. Is that actually from the weather, or is it just my skincare routine not working?
Weather changes can affect skin moisture, especially cold air, wind, low humidity, and indoor heating. Replies suggest using a humidifier, switching to a richer moisturizer in colder months, avoiding hot showers, and protecting exposed skin outdoors.

Cold wind dries out my face fast, especially around my nose and cheeks. I now protect my skin before going outside and avoid washing my face with hot water when I come back in. That helped more than I expected.
Indoor heating can make the air very dry. You might not notice it right away, but your skin does. A humidifier, shorter showers, and applying moisturizer right after washing can really help during dry months.
