Are you bracing for the winter chill and the impact it will have on your skin? Whether you have a skin condition like eczema or just find your skin gets sore and dry in the colder months, this isn’t something you have to live with. The right products will keep your skin soft, supple and healthy-looking even when up against winter weather.
One of my wonderful customers Mags discovered that the first winter she used Esker Fields products. She messaged me, ‘Managed to get through the winter with no issues of eczema on my face and it works well in controlling psoriasis as well. It’s the only product I’ve ever had such good results with.’
From our facial products to our hand and foot creams, what makes Esker Fields so effective at looking after sensitive and dry skin, even with the cold weather? Let me explain!
What Esker Fields does differently
There are a few things we did differently when formulating Esker Fields products which means that they help prevent winter flare-ups and maintain overall healthy and happy skin.
All natural
Firstly, we use all-natural ingredients in our products. It’s mostly natural butters and oils. You wouldn’t believe what you can achieve with shea butter and a good essential oil blend! Natural ingredients are much less likely to irritate and dry out your skin compared to synthetic and chemical ingredients. It’s worth making the switch!
Protective film
The way our creams, including the moisturising balm, aftershave balm, hand cream and foot cream, are formulated means that when applied, they form a protective film on the skin. This means that harsh weather conditions and frequent hand washing don’t dry out the skin as much. It buffers the impact of environmental stressors to keep your skin looking and feeling nourished. You might have heard that emollients are really important for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The protective film acts as an emollient for hours after you apply it.
A nourishing cleanse
A big cause of irritation is cleansing products like shower gels and face wash. We need to use those kinds of products in our routine but often they strip the skin of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy and moisturised. We’ve formulated shower gels and a cleansing oil that provides a deep clean without drying out the skin. You can feel the difference. Thinking about not just how you moisturise but also how you cleanse is a game-changer.
Safe to use on broken skin
If you’re loath to try new skincare products, I don’t blame you. The last thing you want to do is make things worse. I can reassure you that these are gentle and non-disruptive products. They won’t even sting if you use them on broken skin, whether a cracked dry patch or, like me, a burn. The other day, I caught myself on the steam from the kettle and got a big blister. I used the hand cream on it and it healed wonderfully, no stinging or soreness.
The reason why Mags and my other customers don’t have to worry about what the cold weather will do to their skin is that they are using natural products, particularly non-disruptive cleansers and rich emollients that keep their skin clear, balanced and protected. To get started, I recommend checking out our Moisturising Hand Cream, Lavender & Peppermint Foot Cream as well as our bodycare line and skincare line. A simple switch could make all the difference to you this winter!
