History of My Best Winter Skin Day
My Best Winter Skin Day started in 2023. The Skin of Color Society, a group of dermatologists, created it. They wanted to help people protect their skin during colder months.
Dry air, heaters, and wind can all cause problems like flaking, itching, or tightness.
Dr. Susan C. Taylor, who founded the society in 2004, helped lead the new effort. She saw how many people needed better winter skin care.
The campaign launched with free skin tips, product giveaways, and events in places like Chicago and Washington, D.C. Volunteers, doctors, and students joined in to spread the word.
Since that first year, the event has grown. More cities and clinics have joined, offering free resources and hands-on help.
The day also raises money for research focused on skin of color. It supports training for young dermatologists who want to serve diverse communities.
The goal stays the same—healthy skin for everyone, especially during harsh, dry months. Simple advice, good habits, and support make a big difference.
It’s about helping people feel comfortable and confident in their skin, all year long.
