Why does my skin get red and itchy during winter? 🤔❄️
Reset and renew your skin this season by restoring skin health caused by winter.✨
Cold, dry winter weather can do more than make your skin feel tight. It can strip away moisture and lead to what’s commonly called a winter rash. 🧣🌬️ When skin becomes overly dry, it may itch, flake, turn red, feel rough, or even crack. Left untreated, symptoms can worsen and trigger eczema or flare-ups of conditions like psoriasis or keratosis pilaris.
Why winter is tough on your skin ❄️
Lower humidity, cold winds, and indoor heating all work together to pull moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and irritated 😣
How to protect and restore your skin this winter 💙
• Moisturize more often. Choose a cream over a lotion and apply right after bathing 🧴
• Wear SPF daily. UV exposure remains strong in winter, especially in snowy areas ❄️
• Use a humidifier at home to add moisture back into the air 💨
• Cover up with gloves, hats, and scarves to protect skin from harsh winds 🧤🧣
• Stay hydrated to support skin health from the inside out 💧
If winter rashes or flare-ups persist, prescription treatments may be needed. A Dermatology Provider can help reset your skin and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs 👩⚕️👨⚕️
