Seasonal Skincare Tips from Dr. Peter Lio 

Fall: 
Many people suffer from seasonal allergies in the fall, and these can trigger skin irritation along with the change to drier, cooler weather.

•  If seasonal allergies are active, talk to your doctor about keeping them in check with medications such as antihistamines 
• Focus on a regular skincare routine with regular bathing and moisturizing, as well as using topical medications when needed 
• Moisturize within minutes after every shower or bath to help lock in the water 

Winter: 
Cold and dry weather outside and forced hot air inside can put the skin at high risk for irritation. The lack of sunlight may result in lower levels of vitamin D which may be related to skin irritation as well.

• Keep skin warm and protected when outside 
• Try a thick, protective moisturizer on any exposed skin to prevent windburn 
• Consider talking to your doctor about supplementing vitamin D during the winter months as many people are deficient 
• Consider getting a humidifier for bedrooms to help add moisture to the dry air 
• Moisturize within minutes after every shower or bath to help lock in the water

My husband gets terrible dry skin in the winter time so for his skin, we use Neosporin Essentials. It helps relieve his itchy dry skin on contact and usually he only has to use it a few times before it's under control. With other brands, he was going through two bottles at a time with no relief. So if you or someone you know has dry skin in the winter, try Neosporin Essentials.
