Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. As the temperature rises, air conditioning becomes a daily necessity. But while the cool breeze brings comfort, it may be quietly stressing your skin. Today, let’s explore how air conditioning affects your skin—and what you can do to protect it. 1. Why Does AC Air Dry Out the Skin? When the AC runs, both the temperature and humidity levels in the room drop. This leads to faster evaporation of moisture from the skin.
