    The Ravages of Winter Weather on Sensitive Irish Skin

    The Ravages of Winter Weather on Sensitive Irish Skin

    A new Irish Winter Skincare Survey undertaken by Gardiner Family Apothecary reveals that 7 out of 10 people here report having dry, sensitive and eczema/psoriasis prone skin that is easily damaged by cold winter weather.

    Manufactured in Ireland since 1934 by Gardiner Family Apothecary, Elave’s clean skincare formulations are specially created for people with delicate Type I and Type II skin – that’s about 80% of the island’s population.

    Respondents to our survey revealed that the environment is the biggest trigger for their sensitive skin reactions (45%). Around 9 out of 10 said the most important thing to them is that their face looks good. Some 7 out of 10 said that facial dryness and redness was their biggest skincare challenge.

    Joanna Gardiner, CEO, said: “It’s a challenging time of year for people with sensitive Irish skin. Freezing cold, biting winds and changes in temperature draw moisture out of the skin and compromise the dermal barrier, particularly in exposed areas like the face.

    “Since dry, stressed-out skin becomes red and sore, prompting itching, cracking and flare-ups of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and rosacea, it is vital to repair, moisturise and protect for healthy, beautiful skin that always looks its best. 

    “The fact is that you don’t just have to live with the damage caused by the ravages of winter weather - a regular regime using the purest, gentlest, cleanest skincare will make a huge difference to how lovely you look when temperatures dip.”

    Other key survey findings were:

    • The next biggest sensitive skin triggers were new skincare products (19%) and scents and dyes (18%).
    • Half pointed to moisturiser as the key product in their beauty regime, followed by cleanser (1 in 3)
    • More than half said they have difficulty finding the right skincare solutions
    • 1 in 4 said they feel they just have to live with their sensitive skin

    Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is an immunological condition which affects 1 in 10 adults in Ireland. It usually starts in childhood as an itchy red rash which can appear anywhere on the body and may become sore, rough, cracked and blistered. The condition can run in families and may be triggered by a wide range of irritants.

    Skincare can be as complicated as you make it, but good skincare starts with just three simple steps: Cleanse, Hydrate and Protect. After that you can build in exfoliation, masques, serums and so on, according to your unique skincare needs. But if you don’t have the basics right, your skin will not be at its best.

    Many factors, extrinsic and intrinsic, play a part in achieving and maintaining healthy skin. As the largest organ in the body, skin plays a key role in protecting us from micro-organisms, dehydration, ultraviolet light and mechanical damage. When the dermal barrier is compromised, it negatively impacts our general good health.
