Why winters affect the skin moisturization ?

Moisturizing is a basic yet important part of maintaining healthy skin. Our skin is exposed to various environmental factors, pollution and chemicals. This can cause lack of moisture, hence moisturizing your skin and providing it with necessary components to replenish is crucial during all seasons and climate.

Lack of moisture and nourishment can initially cause dry, flaky skin and if this is not taken care of it can further lead to irritation, redness and inflammation of skin. Winters especially are a little hard for your skin and moisturizing regularly helps to rebuild your skin’s lost hydration.

It is important that, the loss of water from the skin must be carefully regulated by the epidermis, a function dependent on the complex nature of its outer layer, the stratum corneum (SC)

The stratum corneum is a selectively permeable, heterogeneous, composite outer layer of the epidermis that protects against desiccation and environmental challenge, and retains sufficient water to allow it to function in environment.

Applying moisturizer boosts hydration in your skin, prevents flaking and dullness, and creates a protective layer of moisture that lasts all day and keeps your skin healthy and hydrated.

 

Benefits of Moisturizing Regularly

The major reason behind using a moisturizer is to lock in moisture and provide nourishment to the skin, but moisturizers benefit our skin in multiple ways.

Maintain young and healthier skin

Skin is prone to environmental changes that can cause damage and wrinkles. Moisture is essential to repair all the damage, help cell regeneration and nourish the growth of younger skin cells.

Moisturizers are applied to your skin and massaged in gentle strokes, this increases blood flow which in turn adds a glow makes your skin look young. Moisturizing serves to lend sensitive skin the push it needs to repair itself and remain healthy.

Some moisturizers have SPF in them which can help combat the harmful effects of sun rays. If you have oily skin, try to incorporate lotions instead of creams. On the other hand, if you have dry skin look for creams with high oil content in it.

Helps fight signs of aging

Using moisturizers with antioxidants, helps in boosting the collagen production and increases the elasticity of your skin which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Helps conceal blemishes

Blemishes are the residues of acne and breakouts or minor injuries. A moisturizer can provide nourishment to your skin and in the long run help reduce their appearance.

Helps replenish lost hydration

Moisturizing helps lock in in the skin’s moisture by creating a barrier that prevents loss of moisture. It also supplies the skin with essential micro nutrients that help maintain a healthy skin.

Moisturize your skin while it is damp, neither dry nor wet. Pat moisturizer on to your skin gently or massage it in subtle circular motions.

 

Moisturizing is key to maintaining a smooth, healthy and radiant skin while protecting it against aging and nourishing the skin.

How to prevent psoriasis flare-up in winter?

Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune condition that results in the formation of thick, scaly skin patches with itchiness, discomfort, and scaling of skin while suffering from psoriasis

A number of factors in the winter season, including less sunlight and reduced humidity, may make psoriasis flare-up high.

Why is psoriasis worse in winter?

 Lack of sunlight

For some people, the lack of sunlight during winter may trigger psoriasis. UV light is present in sunlight, and it can penetrate the skin and slow skin cell growth. As UV light, in the form of phototherapy, is an effective treatment for psoriasis, sunlight will likely have a positive effect on some people with psoriasis.

Sun exposure may have an immunosuppressive effect. As psoriasis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system is overactive, sunlight may help improve psoriasis symptoms. Conversely, a lack of sunlight in the winter may lead to psoriasis flaring up.
Low temperature and humidity

During winter, the air is typically cold and dry, and it can trigger a psoriasis flare up Therefore, it is important to keep the skin moisturized during winters

Stress and illness

Both stress and illness can also contribute toward psoriasis flares.

 Tips to manage winter psoriasis

Moisturizing

As the humidity is lower in the winter, it is important that people with psoriasis keep their skin moisturized. Apply moisturizer every time after washing the hands or having a bath or shower. Doing this helps seal the moisture into the skin, and it can also help reduce itchiness and discoloration.

Using a Humidifier

Using a humidifier at home can help add moisture to the air, helping combat dry skin by keeping the skin moisturized.

Baths

A person should opt for baths rather than long hot showers, which can cause skin dryness and flare ups.

  • using warm water rather than hot water
  • using a fragrance-free and moisture-rich soap or cleanser
  • applying a fragrance-free moisturizer within 5 minutes of taking a shower or bath

Clothing

Try to stay warm during cold weather by wearing a hat, winter jacket, gloves.

Also ensure that the clothes your wearing have soft fabrics, such as 100% cotton. These garments will place less mechanical stress on the skin than rough fabrics, which have the potential to aggravate psoriasis.

Hydration

A person with psoriasis should drink more water during the winter to remain hydrated to combat skin dryness. It is essential to maintain moisture, as the skin may flare up when the humidity is low.

Stress

try to avoid or reduce stressful activities, as stress can be a trigger for psoriasis flares. practice relaxation techniques and exercises, such as yoga, to combat stress and help manage their symptoms.

Phototherapy

Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to artificial UVB, which can mimic the positive effects of sunlight on the skin. UVB can penetrate the skin and slow skin cell growth. In this way, it can help slow the formation of skin patches and reduce irritation and inflammation.

Understand the psoriatic skin

What Exactly Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a skin condition in which skin cells proliferate up to ten times faster than usual. This causes the skin to develop rough red patches covered in white scales. They can form everywhere, but mostly they appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.

Psoriasis often manifests itself in early adulthood. Most people are only affected in a few areas. In severe instances, psoriasis may cover large parts of the body. The patches can heal and reappear throughout a person’s life.

Symptoms

Red skin plaques, typically coated in silver-colored scales. These plaques can be itchy and painful and can crack and bleed. Plaques will expand and combine in extreme situations, covering large areas.

You may observe discoloration and pitting of the fingernails and toenails. Nails can also crumble or separate from the nail bed. Plaques of scales or crust are formed on the scalp.

Psoriasis: What Causes It?

Psoriasis can be hereditary or auto-immune in nature, with the immune system causing inflammation and enabling new skin cells to develop too fast. Skin cells are normally renewed every 10 to 30 days. But in psoriasis, new cells proliferate every 3 to 4 days. The silver scales are formed due to the accumulation of old cells being replaced by new ones.

Areas of the body  affected

Plaque psoriasis is the most prevalent disease form, affecting 80 to 85% of individuals. The trunk, elbows, knees, umbilicus (navel), scalp, ears, hands, and feet are frequently affected by this type. Psoriatic arthritis affects around one-third of patients and might manifest as joint pain, redness, swelling, a swollen finger, nail abnormalities, or uveitis (eye inflammation).

As a common skin disease, psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune, and complex genetic disorder that affects 2% of the world population. Psoriatic skin has symptoms of inflammation and raised scaly lesions. Three different cellular alteration occur in psoriatic involved skin, which are the abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes, hyper-proliferation of keratinocytes, and infiltration of immune cells.

6 Tips for Psoriasis Skin Care

 1.Maintain Your Skin’s Hydration

It’s one of the most powerful but simple treatments for inflamed skin. It can aid in the healing of your skin by reducing dryness, irritation, redness, soreness, and scaling.Depending on how dry your skin is, choose a moisturizer. Ointments are thick, heavy, and effective in retaining moisture. Lotions are thinner and more easily absorbed.After taking a bath or shower, carefully pat on the lotion. Reapply as needed throughout the day and whenever you change your clothes. On chilly or dry days, use extra.

2.Warm Baths Can Help You Relax

A daily warm bath using a mild soap can help soothe itchy spots and remove dry skin.Take 15 minutes to soak in the warm water. Hot temperatures and harsh soaps can be hard on skin that’s already sensitive. Try not to rub your skin with the towel as you dry off. Instead, gently pat it dry. The rubbing action can make sores worse and even cause new ones. Apply immediately with a moisturizer If you don’t have time for a bath, you can still put a wet towel or cold compress on the trouble spot.

3.Heal With Sunlight

The ultraviolet (UV) light in sunlight can slow the growth of skin cells, so small doses of sunlight can be a good way to soothe, improve, and even heal psoriasis lesions.

4.Be free of stress.

Itching and psoriasis may both get worse under stress. Some individuals even link their initial breakout to a highly stressful situation. By reducing your anxiety, you might ease symptoms.

Stress may be reduced in a variety of ways. Create a network of family and friends for support. Consider what matters most to you, then make time for it. Deep breathing, yoga, and meditation are beneficial. Even a lengthy stroll across the neighborhood might help you unwind.

5.Go Easy on Yourself. 

Avoid using harsh products like deodorant soaps, lotions with alcohol, acids (glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acid), and even certain laundry soaps. These could irritate your delicate skin. Check the fabric’s texture before purchasing any clothing. Ensure that they are cozy and silky. Avoid mohair and wool. They may aggravate skin that is already inflammatory.

6. Avoid Scratching and Picking

There is no denying that you want to scratch when you are itchy. Scratching, however, can rip your skin open, allowing microorganisms that cause infections to enter. It could cause previously undetectable sores to emerge. Keep your nails short and try to take medications if the itching is worse.

UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR MOISTURIZATION

The primary aim of moisturizing your skin is to suppress moisture loss. When the skin barrier is damaged, it is necessary to first suppress the loss of water to restore the normal barrier.

Lack of moisture leads to dryness and makes the skin rough and flaky. An ideal product that helps in locking moisture helps to maintain and restore skin flexibility by blocking the evaporation of moisture and induces uniform exfoliation of old, dead skin cells to maintain a smooth skin surface.

homeostasis of your skin is maintained despite changes in the external environment when you keep your skin hydrated.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease with hyper-proliferation of the epidermis and inflammatory reactions of the dermis and epidermis. Psoriasis is characterized by an elevated turnover rate of keratinocytes and a shortened cell cycle. Inflammation is characterized by the release of cytokines in psoriatic lesions of affected patients.

Benefits of keeping your skin moisturized.

First, in addition to just feeling better, skin that is continuously moisturized is stronger and well suited to resisting cracking and other damage. For a significant number of people with psoriasis, even minor skin damage can lead to a flare-up in the same location, a trigger known as the koebner phenomenon . It’s recommended that you don’t scrub your psoriasis patches too vigorously.

Second, keeping already inflamed psoriasis patches moist helps to loosen scales, an effect enhanced by a process called occlusion, which involves covering affected areas with thick cream or lotion, covering the area in plastic wrap or fabric, and leaving the covering on overnight.

When to moisturize ?

It is important to moisturize throughout the day. While moisturizing your body after bathing may be part of your routine, you should also consider moisturizing your hands after washing them.

Using a moisturizer within 5 minutes of bathing helps with moisture retention. Moisture loss from the skin after bathing causes it to feel dry. Also, wash your skin with warm or hot water (but not too hot!) and pat (not rub) it dry.

Cold, dry weather is very damaging to psoriatic skin. Be careful to hydrate often during these months.

Establish a Treatment Routine

People with psoriasis who establish a daily bathing and moisturizing routine will find that doing so not only minimizes scaling but also helps alleviate itching and keeps psoriasis patches looking as good as possible.

Topical moisturizer’s and bathing bars

Most topical moisturizer’s and bath bars enriched with hydrating oils are specifically formulated to promote and maintain healthy skin, but may also serve to manage dry and itchy skin conditions such as psoriasis.

Moisturizers are crucial to achieving a reduction in clinical signs of irritation and dryness, scaling and roughness, and a decrease in perceived feelings of tightness and itching.

The efficacy of topical moisturizer’s and bathing bars is related to their basic skin moisturization and “conditioning” benefits, as well as their therapeutic effects. This is achieved most commonly through a well-designed combination of fundamental and specialty ingredients and actives, formulated and delivered in a range of topical formulations where

Know about your skin

Skin is the largest organ in the body covering the entire body and protecting from outside world.  The skin is selectively permeable which allows the passage of select materials.  The skin has four major cell such as keratinocytes, melanocytes, merkel cells and Langherhans cells.  Keratinocytes is the mother of skin cells which divides and become stratum bacilli, stratum lucidam, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum and stratum corneum.  The cells move upward and then lose nucleation and become a dead deposit over the skin.    Melanocytes impart the colour to the skin while the merckle cells play role in sensation and immune recognition is being done by langherhan cells.   Besides the above, skin also involved in sebum regulation, eccrine and apocrine excretion as well.  Skin can be damaged severely by several external factors such as UV rays, detergents, some cosmetic preparations, bleaching, hair removal treatment, waxing etc.

Proper protection to the skin is important as the damage due the above external factors can permeate to the extent to affect the visco-elasticity of the skin greatly resulting in near permanent damage to the skin making the skin look ugly, aged, diseases and tired.
