A member asked:

Is red facial skin due to cold weather normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, for some.: Reddening of facial skin during cold weather is a normal response for many people, usually those with fair, sensitive skin. Those with thicker and ruddier skin, and those who are more accustomed to cold weather, not so much.
