Many people are familiar with some of the skin conditions and problems associated with winter, as well as some of the pre-existing conditions winter may aggravate. But not many people realize that there is a skin condition many people don’t know about that not only flares up in winter, but can be just as debilitating as the others. Its name?
Although its name is simple and to the point, that doesn’t make it any less dangerous or damaging to your skin. In fact, winter rash is an extreme skin condition, and way more than just dry skin. It is actually when your skin is so dehydrated that your skin actually breaks out as a result of a severe lack of moisture. The resulting rash can hurt you for months on end. (1)
But there’s no need to worry about winter rash anymore, as 100% ALL-NATURAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS and some simple tips will ensure that winter rash is a thing of the past, no matter what month it is or what the temperature is outside.
In this blog we talk about what winter rash is, how to REMEDY it, and how to PREVENT it all season long!
Though winter rash may seem self-explanatory, there is a lot to understand about this painful and dangerous skin condition. And the first thing to know is that it doesn’t just have one cause. In fact, winter contains many potential catalysts of winter rash, whether you’re hunkered down indoors or venturing out into the cold outdoor air.
One of the main causes of winter rash is a lack of moisture in the air. Though moisture is a common problem at the root of many winter skin issues, winter rash is different. That’s because winter rashes not only often last the entire season, but they can also change your quality of life due to the severity of the rash. In fact, once you have a winter rash, you need to take special care to manage it, or it might just spread. (2)
Put simply, winter rash is a general area of skin irritation. But what makes it so dangerous and debilitating is that it can hinder anyone, even if they’ve had healthy skin throughout the year. And somehow making matters even worse is the fact that once you have it, you can see it return year after year, making it especially debilitating to those living in colder climates. (3)
When looking at winter rash, you need to look at your stratum corneum – your epidermis’s most external layer. This layer of skin actually has two really important jobs directly challenged by winter dryness - to prevent bacteria from getting into your skin, and to hold essential moisture your skin needs. However, the cold and wind of winter makes doing these jobs incredibly difficult.

But the cold and wind aren’t the only reasons for winter rashes. Other causes you may not even think of include an allergy to latex, tiredness, and stress. These factors are related to your skin, and can lead to long-term skin problems you might blame on the weather, but can compound your skin problems and even make them worse. (5)
Another problem that makes winter rashes so debilitating is that it can be caused by using the wrong skincare products. And this is an important distinction to make, as sometimes rashes can simply be a symptom of another issue, or an effect of something else entirely. This lack of clarity is why it’s best to remove all potential outside catalysts and simply GO ALL-NATURAL when choosing your skincare products. (6)
Now that we’re all sufficiently terrified of winter rashes, let’s take a deep breath, as it’s also important to know that winter rash is capable of being REMEDIED. To remedy winter rashes, you may also need to remedy your pre-existing skin conditions that often trigger such rashes, like psoriasis and eczema. It’s also important those with sensitive skin take the steps needed to PROTECT their bodies and PREVENT common complications related to the harsh winter climate.
The other catalyst of winter rashes is your winter skincare habits. Being sure you’re not washing with burning water is one way to fend off the unraveling of a winter rash. Instead, be sure to use only lukewarm water, and to follow up your cleaning with a 100% ALL-NATURAL MOISTURIZER, which can help prepare you for the weather, as well as undo some of the heat’s removal of your natural oils.

Over-the-counter soaps that are harsh can also lead to long-term conditions of dryness and rashes, making it all the more important you keep a 100% ALL-NATURAL SKINCARE ROUTINE. A routine will help prevent the potential stopping and starting many have in their moisturizing practices – a potentially dangerous problem that can lead to an unsteady and inefficient restoration of your skin. (8)
Though a rash may seem easy to identify, it can often be confused for other common winter skin conditions, like folliculitis, rosacea, and dermatitis. Being sure what you have is, in fact, a winter rash, is the first step in remedying it. Then, it’s time to HYDRATE, especially those areas of your body that are considered high contact – like your face, hands, knees, elbows, and feet.
Another potentially obvious solution to winter rashes is staying warm. Keeping yourself warm throughout the day will prevent the harshness that can come from constant temperature fluctuations that often leave your skin vulnerable and prone to damage. Also try to avoid exercising outdoors, which can cause your clothes to create unnecessary skin problems. (10)
Drinking enough water is another key part of protecting your skin in the winter. This is because the cold can cause many people to not drink enough water, leaving their bodies without the hydration needed to maintain healthy and radiant skin. Regularly sipping water, as well as eating many vegetables and fruits, will enable you to better prepare yourself – and your skin – to fend off rashes and other symptoms of dryness. (11)
