Winter Skin Protection Tips<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

“Winter offers cooler temperatures and less humidity,” adds Dr. Deanne Robinson, co-founder of Modern Dermatology of Connecticut. “These changes result in water loss, which results in dry, itchy skin. Indoor heat sources such as forced hot air or radiant heat generate extremely dry, hot air, exacerbating the problem.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Robinson offers some tips and methods for soothing dry skin over the winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it true that hot showers make dry skin worse?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes. Showers that are too hot or too lengthy, especially in the winter, deplete the skin’s natural oils, resulting in dryness. You may help avoid winter dry skin by taking shorter (less than ten minutes) and colder (less than 105 degrees F) showers \u2013 and soon thereafter, moisturizing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which products are best for winter?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Consider a thicker cream or ointment-based emollient, preferably one containing ceramides. Ceramides are the natural fatty acids found in the skin that help repair and preserve the skin barrier. Additionally, omit the soap. By removing the skin of its natural oils, traditional bar soap dries it out. Rather than that, choose a non-soap cleaner that is considerably milder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are my hands extra dry?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hand washing and the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can exacerbate hand eczema. Here is your\u00a0<\/span>Winter Skin Protection Tips<\/strong><\/a>. Moisture, moisturize, moisturize. Consider using a soap-free cleanser that is fragrance- and color-free. After each hand wash, hydrate with a moisturizer. Consider one that contains dimethicone, which covers your skin and forms a glove-like barrier to prevent it from additional harm. At night, use a thick emollient and then cotton gloves, which can be quite beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does winter affect psoriasis?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Psoriasis is a skin disorder that may improve with exposure to natural ultraviolet light or sunshine. Winter may aggravate your psoriasis since you receive less sun exposure. In the winter, controlled exposure to the sun can help enhance it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four\u00a0<\/span>Winter Skin Protection Tips<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Consider the following additional suggestions from the American Academy of Dermatology. Consult a doctor if your skin needs more treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pick the right lip balm. Use a soothing lip balm. If your balm doesn’t feel good or makes your lips tingle, try a different one.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Ban dry air. Plug in a humidifier to add moisture to the air. Skip cozying up to a fireplace or heat source.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Wear gloves. Protect your hands from the elements. Wear gloves when you’re outdoors, washing dishes, or touching chemicals or grease.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Ditch irritating clothing. Use gentle laundry detergent labeled “hypoallergenic.” Wear cotton or silk under wool or other rough materials.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
