The \u201cwinter itch\u201d is a real phenomenon. \u00a0During the winter, our skin is not only blasted by cold, it\u2019s blasted by dry heat when we come inside. The combination can dry out the skin, causing cracks in the skin, which in turn increases inflammation, pain, and can even cause or exacerbate skin conditions like eczema. \u00a0Your skin is your largest organ of your body \u2013 and during the winter, you should take special care to promote skin health.
