The beginning of Fall always reminds me of festive activities involving good food, family gatherings and breathtaking scenery provided by mother nature. On the downside, the sudden chilly weather also reminds me what it’s like to have dry, itchy skin, particularly on my hands and face. I, like over 15 million other people, suffer from eczema and even though it’s a mild case, my hands always get the brunt of it. The dryer they get, the more I itch. Scratching them to ease the itchiness only leads to burning and discomfort. I’ve tried many over-the-counter lotions and creams, which all help for a few minutes, but the minute I take my gloves off or wash my hands, my knuckles seem to itch again. One of my favorite dry-skin remedies is something called Bag Balm, which is actually designed for irritated skin on cattle and horses. It definitely beats the dry-skin battle, but it’s not something you can use during the day being that it’s a very thick, petroleum-like balm.
As you can guess, I am always open to trying new products that claim to cure the itch. Well, by golly, I think I found one!
Curel Itch Defense is a gentle lotion that has been clinically proven to soothe the itch, reduce redness (not a posh look!) and minimize flakiness. Itch Defense works it’s magic by balancing your skin in four ways: Provides natural ceramides which increase your skins ability to hold in moisture, pH levels that bring your skin to a healthy, normal balance, smooths and renews your skin with cellular turnover to reduce flakiness and redness letting your natural skin surface and it also boosts your skins natural moisture level to leave your skin feeling brand spankin’ new.In a recent study, Curel Itch Defense showed a noticeable improvement to 90% of the women who tried it. Another bonus, it’s gentle enough to use on children and has been dermatologist and pediatrician tested.
“56,000 hours of testing. One very important seal.”
Awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™
The fragrance free formula also includes additional anti-itch ingredients that are clinically proven to reduce irritation, redness, flare-ups and itching. Panthenol soothes redness and irritation while antioxidant-rich Olive Oil helps skin retain moisture and treats eczema; and Shea Butter reduces irritation and softens skin. The formula employs a dermatologist- and skin scientist-recognized moisture mechanism to treat symptoms associated with eczema, including protective petrolatum and humectant glycerin. – Curel.com
Curel Itch Defense is available for about $7.50 per bottle and can be found at drugstores and supermarkets nation-wide including, Target, Walgreens, Drugstore.com and more. For more information about this and other Curel skin care products, please visit www.curel.com

I Hydrate from the Inside Out, Too
When it’s frosty outside, sometimes the last thing you feel like drinking is a big glass of water. But getting plenty of water during the wintertime is just as important as it is during warm weather. Dehydrated skin is more likely to feel tight and dry.
Try to get the recommended eight (eight ounce) glasses of water each day, to help keep your skin hydrated. When water doesn’t sound appealing, try warm decaffeinated tea instead!
