Winter comes with a very loooong list of annoyances. While painfully cold temps rank as one of my biggest grievances, so does skin irritations caused by the weather, such as flare-ups from eczema. My older daughter has had to deal with winter eczema since she was a toddler, which typically means she has to deal with inflamed, itchy, and bumpy skin throughout the season. I’m always open to trying new things and recently discovered some gentle (yes!) products during an event in NYC for even the most sensitive skin types from La Roche-Posay.

Containing Prebiotic Thermal Water and patented Aqua Posae Filiformis, the cream works to re-establish and stabilize the skin microbiome to prevent the reoccurrence of extra dry skin and works to replenish lipids and provides up to 48 hours of hydration.
An informative afternoon of skincare education, it was empowering for myself and my daughter to learn some practical tactics when dealing with the annoyances of winer skin woes. Now if there was just a way to deal with those other annoying aspects of winter…
