Safe Skin All Year-round
As the temperatures begin to drop, it’s important to remember to protect your skin from the sun, wind and overall drying effects of the winter air. Read on to find out more information and ways to keep skin moisturized and healthy throughout the cold weather months.

Sun Safety
Though less skin is exposed and more layers are worn during the winter, it is still necessary to wear sunscreen on the areas where skin is exposed to the sun. Outdoor activities like hiking, sledding, and skiing provide opportunities for sunburn and windburn. Remember to always use a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and UVA and UVB protection and apply it 30 minutes before going outdoors. Don't forget to apply to ears, noses, and lips!


Acne
Often times children and teens deal with acne as they transition into adulthood and it’s important to care for skin to prevent scarring from acne. Despite the myth that having a tan helps to clear up skin, sun exposure actually may aggravate acne. Encourage kids to wear protective clothing and wear sunscreen when going outside. In the winter, skin tends to dry out more easily so daily routines like washing your face or using acne medication can lead to irritation. By using a mild cleanser once daily and facial moisturizer with SPF in it, skin will stay hydrated and protected from the sun.

Dry Skin vs. Eczema
Using moisturizers during the cold weather months can help fend off dry skin but if the irritation is persistent, it could be a more serious issue. The term eczema refers to a number of different skin conditions in which the skin is red and irritated and occasionally results in small, fluid-filled bumps. The condition is very common, occurring in about 1 in every 10 children, almost always before the age of 5. Over a child’s development, eczema may go into remission, disappear altogether, or flare up as a result of stress or puberty. Topical ointments and prescription drugs are available to treat eczema but since each child’s condition is different, it is important to consult a physician before choosing a treatment method.
