Winter here is cold, freezing cold and not necessary dry. Dry skin, lips is a problem and I learned no matter how expensive the creme or lipbalm is you buy or a doctor prescribes it doensn't help.

A year ago I had issues in summer and it was very bad. An Italian pharmacy sold me an extremely expensive creme (French by the way) it did help for the worst but after that, it came back again and didn't help a bit (not even if I used it long before the issues started).

It believe the main issue is the immune system or a hormone imbalance, or lack of vitamins or minerals in combination with whatever one can think of (indeed the weather included). Sooner or later the problem solves itself so what is needed most is something that relieves and don't make it worse.

Good luck with the contest dear friend.
