Windburn: Yes, windburn is real thing. It is misconception that the wind causes the burn but actually it is due to sun. So wear your sun block or protection when going outdoor even in a cloudy days.

See below: Agree with Dr. Chao. Ultraviolet light from the sun is the likely cause of the "wind burn". It may be exacerbated by blowing, cold, dry air. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
