Winterizing Dry Itchy Skin
Dry, itchy skin can
become a real problem as the cold winter months set in. Because rooms are
heated, the humidity in the air is lower than at other times. Add long sleeves
and woolens to this and your skin becomes dehydrated. When the skin becomes
dehydrated, exfoliation slows down and the formation of abnormal clumps form on
the skin’s surface, making it rough, dry and occasionally itchy, as show above
on Rose Henderson's elbow.
People with atopic dermatitis
are especially vulnerable to itchy skin during winter months. Atopic dermatitis
is a skin condition frequently associated with allergies, asthma or hay fever.
It is unusually sensitive and may sting when exposed to fragrances, perfumes or
some additives.
Here
we have a close up of the elbow shown above. Emu oil has not yet been
applied. Note that subject has been scratching the dry itchy skin. Skin is
broken in at least a couple of places and there is scabbing over in at least one
area. Henderson tells us that during winter months she will often wind up with
a rash running from her elbow half way to her wrist. This season she decided
to try using Purple Emu's Pure Refined Emu Oil on her skin breakdown. "I
liked the fact that it was an all natural product and that it was from birds
grown here in the United States." Henderson went on to say that she had
researched emu oil extensively prior to purchase and felt more comfortable with
the quality of oil produced in the United States, as well as being sure that
birds were raised humanely. "I read about the emu oil certification
program set up by the American Emu Association and made sure that the oil
was certified as Fully Refined."
"The
emu oil stopped the itching immediately" Henderson reported, "I used it three
times a day and within 4 days the skin was back to normal." Rose went on
to tell us that she is now using the pure emu oil as a moisturizer after baths.
"I'm using it as a preventative now, to winterize my skin."
Purple Emu Pure Refined Emu Oil is tested by an
American Oil Chemist Society certified lab and meets
AEA standards as Fully Refined.
