windchapped
Gusts left raw
Windchapped describes skin that has become rough, cracked, or irritated from prolonged exposure to cold wind.
The condition typically affects exposed areas like the face, lips, and hands: Her windchapped cheeks were raw and red after the hike.
The word combines wind with chapped, suggesting damage from the drying effect of moving air.
