Hi. I'm Dr. Sapna Westley. I'm a dermatologist in New York City. I wanted to provide some simple tips today on how to protect our skin during these winter months. With the cold dry air outdoors and the dry heat indoors, our skin can really get affected this time of the year. So with these few simple skincare tips, you'll really find your skin more protected during the winter months. First, think about your showers and baths. Keep them under five minutes and use warm water, not hot water. Long hot showers do feel great, but are very drying to the skin. In the shower, use a creamy hydrating body wash. Something that is free of fragrance. And it's a good rule of thumb this time of year to avoid products containing fragrances as those can be very irritating to the skin. The single most important step is to moisturize when stepping out of the shower. Look for a cream-based moisturizer containing ceramides, like the Curel Intensive Healing Cream. If you ask any dermatologist this time of year, what they recommend, they'll always tell you a cream. You want something thick, rich and occlusive that is going to lock in moisture over time. The ceramides in the Curel Intensive Healing Cream strengthen the skin barrier from the inside and the water and oil technology in these products really helps lock in moisture over time from the outside. This is also a great product for people with very extreme cases of dry skin and in diabetics who are prone to cracking skin and complications arising from this. Curel has done skin studies in diabetics showing that it really helps to improve the health of their skin. Also think about the fabrics you're wearing and the detergents you're using. Stick with fabrics that are soft and breathable, like cottons, and avoid detergents that are fragranced as they can trigger skin reactions. I recommend to my patients All Free Clear Detergent. It's free of dyes and perfumes, which can be very irritating on your skin. It's the number one brand recommended by dermatologists, allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin. It provides a powerful clean that's also hypoallergenic. Also consider investing in a humidifier for your bedroom. It's a great way to combat the dry heat indoors. Even better would be to get several small humidifiers and scatter them around your house. Don't forget to drink plenty of water. For more tips, go to Curel.com and AllFreeClear.com. Thanks.
