Windburned is a common term used to describe the redness or rawness of skin caused by prolonged exposure to cold and windy weather conditions. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe this condition. Some of the most common alternatives include wind chapped, weather-beaten, frost-bitten, and wind-scoured. Each of these synonyms describes the same condition of skin irritation caused by exposure to harsh winter weather. Wind chapped indicates the dryness and roughness of the skin, while weather-beaten and frost-bitten indicate the damage caused by prolonged exposure to the elements. Wind-scoured indicates the abrasion or chafing of the skin caused by strong gusts of wind.
