Many of us battle dry, cracked, uncomfortable skin in the winter with the cold chaffing winds and being subjected to heating in homes, cars and workplaces that is usually a dry heat. A good moisturizer is a must for our hands and body during this skin-challenging time of year. And, especially for those who suffer from Psoriasis or Eczema, the additional dry heat can easily trigger their symptoms of red, inflamed, dry, flaky, itchy skin to flare uncontrollably. I’ve talked before about these conditions actually being an internal problem with an external manifestation that is causing these uncomfortable and irritating problem skin conditions. To truly cure these troubling skin symptoms, you will probably need to make some lifestyle changes and correct the stomach issues that are at the root of the problem. While a good naturopath can prescribe the digestive enzymes and lifestyle changes that need to occur, thankfully, there is also relief topically!
Ingredients like Neem, Burdock, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Fagara root, Chamomile and Bearberry are just a few that are very effective for calming, soothing and encouraging healing of this troublesome condition. Vitamin A in particular encourages cellular renewal that is so important to help balance skin growth. derma e® has blended these herbs and vitamins in our Psorzema® Crème – a non-greasy, pleasant-to-use crème that doesn’t contain coal tars or steroids, but is a great Psoriasis and Eczema treatment. We have received wonderful reviews on this product for helping to calm skin all over the body and scalp.
I recently had an allergic skin reaction that resulted in giving me numerous leathery, itchy, plaques of skin. I was prescribed a steroid crème, but I am not a fan of steroids either topically or internally, and this crème was also very greasy and left a residue on my skin. Instead, I chose to use derma e®’s Psorzema® Crème and found that it was just as effective. It calmed my itch, cooled the heat, relieved the dryness and is helping to heal my skin. I have also found the Psorzema® Crème to be one of the best products that derma e® makes for severely dry skin.
This winter, don’t suffer. Try Psorzema® Crème for your problem skin conditions and have the healthiest skin possible.
Yours in health,
