Winter is just around the corner, and along with that often comes chapped and dry skin. The folks at Neosporin are all about creating product to combat the irritation and dryness caused by the change in weather and today I am sharing with you some skincare tips that they have shared from a their leading dermatologist and spokesperson, Dr. Peter Lio. Since most people deal with dry, itchy and sometimes irritated skin in the winter, being prepared for the colder seasons is a must!
Neosporin’s line of skincare products, called Neosporin Essentials is a line is specifically designed for people with eczema, but is great for anyone dealing with dry, itchy or irritated skin. The line includes a Daily Moisturizing Cream and Daily Body Wash. If interested, I can also connect you with Neosporin Essentials expert spokesperson, Dr. Peter Lio, Assistant Professor of Clinical Dermatology & Pediatrics at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology. Here are some of his seasonal skincare tips below
Fall:
Many people suffer from seasonal allergies in the fall, and these can trigger skin irritation along with the change to drier, cooler weather.
- If seasonal allergies are active, talk to your doctor about keeping them in check with medications such as antihistamines
- Focus on a regular skincare routine with regular bathing and moisturizing, as well as using topical medications when needed
- Moisturize within minutes after every shower or bath to help lock in the water
Winter:
Cold and dry weather outside and forced hot air inside can put the skin at high risk for irritation. The lack of sunlight may result in lower levels of vitamin D which may be related to skin irritation as well.
- Keep skin warm and protected when outside
- Try a thick, protective moisturizer on any exposed skin to prevent windburn
- Consider talking to your doctor about supplementing vitamin D during the winter months as many people are deficient
- Consider getting a humidifier for bedrooms to help add moisture to the dry air
- Moisturize within minutes after every shower or bath to help lock in the water
My thoughts? Living in Idaho, dry skin has been a huge issue my entire life. My grandmother was always a fan of Neosporin products, so I have used them most of my life, but these new products are so impressive to me, and work very well for keeping my skin moisturized. My son has very dry hands, especially on his little knuckles and we have found the daily moisturizing cream so helpful for him, plus he loves that is doesn’t smell “girly”.
