Winter Skincare for Eczema: Natural Tips and the Best Eczema Cream in NZ
If your skin tends to flare up as the temperature drops, you’re not alone. Winter can be brutal for people with eczema, psoriasis, or dry, sensitive skin. Cold air, indoor heating, and long hot showers strip away natural oils—leaving skin red, itchy, and inflamed.
At Pure Peony, we’ve spent over 10 years helping thousands of families find natural, steroid-free relief for eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. That’s why we’ve created new winter skincare bundles, designed to calm, hydrate, and heal your skin.
Why Winter Makes Eczema and Psoriasis Worse
Cold weather can:
- Dry out the skin’s protective barrier
- Trigger itching, redness, or cracking
- Worsen flare-ups of eczema and psoriasis
- Make synthetic skincare ingredients more irritating
That’s why it’s so important to simplify your routine and focus on natural, irritant-free products. You can download our Free Guide to Learn More About Treating Eczema Naturally.
Our Top 7 Winter Skincare Tips
- Winter strips moisture fast - so lock it in right after your shower with a high quality moisturiser like our Peony Root Moisturiser or the lighter Peony Lotion.
- Long hot showers can lead to trans epidermal water loss (water which is lost through your skin). This creates dryness and can trigger the itch-scratch cycle. So stick to warm (not hot) water and limit showers to 5 - 10 minutes
- Choose an effective natural alternative to prolonged steroid use. Try Pure Peony High Factor Skin Remedy or the thicker Peony and Calendula Skin Remedy.
- Avoid synthetic clothing that irritates - layer soft, breathable cotton next to your skin first.
- Keep it simple. When skin is stressed, less is more. Cut back on complicated routines and focus on gentle cleansing and nourishing repair.
- Hydrate from within - drink plenty of water.
- Catch the flare early - don't wait for the itch to take hold. At the first tingle, apply High Factor Peony Root Skin Remedy. Fact action prevents inflammation from spiraling and stops the itch-scratch cycle - saving you weeks of discomfort and pain.
