Cold temperature damages your skin? Why?

Never heard of this one before...

Although my skin is much clearer in the summer Guess this could explain why...

I think cold weather typically makes for dry air whcih can leave your skin dry and damaged.

You forgot smoking. Smoking constricts the blood vessels in your skin. This cuts down on circulation and your skin will not get the proper amount of nutrients it needs to maintain its health. It ruins the collagen and elastin in your skin, making it more prone to wrinkles. This is not limited to your facial skin either. Also, smoking tends to enlarge your facial pores making you more prone to acne.

I had read somewhere that sunlight makes up for 80% of skin damage, seems like the sun may age us the most.
