Winter is coming… and so is that eczema flare-up ❄️
Between cold air, low humidity, long hot showers, and winter heating your skin barrier is working overtime just trying to keep up.
If your skin feels tighter, itchier, or more reactive this time of year, you’re not imagining it your barrier’s officially in survival mode.
Let’s break it down 👇
When temperatures drop, the moisture in your skin evaporates faster. Your barrier (that top protective layer) starts to weaken, and tiny cracks form letting irritants in and hydration out. Add in constant temperature changes, indoor heating, and that extra coffee you’re living on, and… eczema flares up before you even notice.
But here’s something most people don’t realize:
Your gut health plays a massive role too.
As the seasons change, so does what we eat.
We reach for heavier comfort foods, more sugar, fewer raw veggies, and less fiber… all of which affect our gut microbiome. When your gut is inflamed or off balance, your skin’s immune response reacts, and eczema flares faster and lasts longer.
Your skin and your gut are in constant conversation and when one’s unhappy, the other shows it.
So how do we calm the chaos?
We soothe from the outside and the inside.
From the outside 👉
Add a cool mist humidifier, gentle, non-foaming cleansers, skip the fragrance, pat dry (don’t rub), and apply your moisturizer or oil while skin is still damp.
From the inside 👉
Hydrate, eat omega-rich foods (salmon, avocado, olive oil), and support your gut with fiber and probiotics.
