Intense Winter Itch Fortified Organic Cotton Protection

As winter intensifies, our skin defenses get bombarded by a lot. It's not just the cold winds and warm baths, but ironically, the clothing made to protect us may be the very trigger of our flare-ups. It's only you who can make the decision that'll aid your skin with comfortable, itch-free skin protection.

Why Eczema Flare-ups Intensify during the Winter?

One of the most contributing factors is the nature of the cold winds winter brings. It sucks moisture from your skin, slowly stripping you of your natural oil, which then causes dry, flaky skin that is more susceptible to irritation. Your skin's first line of protection is stripped and cracked, exposing it bare to irritants. Another common trigger is a hot shower and bath, which are quite unavoidable during this season due to the extreme temperature. Despite that soothing comfort, hot water strips your skin of its natural oils, which leads to your skin being unable to keep itself moisturized. This causes much more intense flare-ups in people with eczema. 

Something closer can also become the trigger; the very thing you wear to protect you from the cold might be the trigger of the sudden flare-ups. Most winter clothing is commonly created with wool, which is a known trigger of eczema. Synthetic fabrics are also popularly used; this type of fabric is a common trigger due to the chemicals used in its production process. Polyester, nylon, and spandex are some of the most common types that are derived from petroleum, the substance used to create plastics and gasoline. This clothing typically traps heat and sweat, leading to increased irritation and scratching that can cause aggravated flare-ups.
