windburn
Breeze-caused skin irritation
Windburn is skin irritation caused by prolonged exposure to cold, dry wind.
The face becomes red, raw, and chapped—similar in appearance to mild sunburn but caused by wind stripping moisture from the skin: My cheeks were windburned after a day on the slopes.
Common among skiers, sailors, and cyclists.
