Have you noticed the skin on your ears is drier than usual recently? You are far from the only one—in fact, dry ears has recently been a talking point in the Marie Claire UK offices. But aside from being a common phenomenon, why does this actually happen?
You’re in luck, as I’ve put this slightly niche skincare question to the experts. I asked two consultant dermatologists to explain the potential causes of dry skin on and around the ears, what you can (and shouldn’t) do to manage it (SPF plays a big part), and when you should see your doctor to discuss.
