Dry Winter Skin Help For Eczema Sufferers {Give Away}

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

My mom is allergic to mangoes, but mangoes are delicious so of course she eats them anyway. Then she gets a rash. This happened again this week, so a NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ Trial Pack popping up in our mail box was very timely.

I’ve always known Neosporin as the product for boo boos. It encouraged scrapes and abrasions to heal faster and prevented infections. Neosporin now makes a whole line of useful products, including the new Neosporin Essentials for eczema sufferers, or anyone with sensitive, itchy skin (like my mom). And since my brother suffers from eczema, and I have horribly dry skin during the winter, we’d all benefit from this trial size, take-along kit too.

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects about 35 million Americans. It’s characterized by dry, itchy, red skin and visible skin rash. In a healthy state, the external layer of your skin acts as a protective barrier, but for eczema sufferers, the skin has a deficiency that allows moisture to escape and causes chronic dryness. When skin is dry and unprotected, irritants can reach the sensitive layers below and cause uncomfortable itch flare-ups. People with eczema are more susceptible to irritants or allergens, which trigger inflammation and that results in itching and redness.

In the fall, the stress of going back to school can provoke eczema flare ups. The colder, drier weather and lack of sunlight in the autumn and winter can also contribute to eczema inflammation.

Tips To Manage Eczema In The Fall and Winter

• Keep seasonal allergies in check with medications such as antihistamines
• Try to reduce school stress by meeting with teachers early in the year and staying on top of school work
• Maintain a regular skincare routine, bathe regularly and moisturize; Use topical medication when needed
• Keep skin warm and protected outdoors with a thick moisturizer
• Ask your doctor about taking a vitamin D supplement
• Consider a humidifier in your bedroom if the air in your home is dry
