Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi. I think its due to dryness. You should change your soap/ facewash and should use a mild cleanser, preferrably syndet based. Along with mild cleanser, apply good quality moisturizers frequently. Measures which increases dryness like frequent washing, hot water, windy environment etc should be avoided. Its nothing serious. You just need to make certain changes in skin care habits in winter. Thanks
