Response To Itchy Legs by: Nanette from Skin-Remedies.com
Hello Renee,
Actually, itchy skin syndrome can occur at any time in our lives, even if we've never experienced it before. Some factors that can cause your skin to itch uncontrollably are:
1) Long, hot baths can actually dry out your skin. 2) Scratchy clothes (like wool) can also irritate the skin. 3) Low humidity - during cold weather, the heated air inside homes and other buildings can make skin dry and itchy. 4) Certain foods or beverages can cause an allergic reaction in your body. 5) Emotional stress or feeling upset can cause the face and body to get itchy, red and hot. 6) Commercial soaps contain drying chemicals that really enhance dry skin syndrome. 7) Failure to moisturize your skin, (this applies to men, women and children of all ages!) can leave your skin desert dry and horribly itchy.
Here are my recommendations, follow them and your itchy skin will respond:
1) Shorten bath time and use lukewarm water so as not to dry your skin. 2) Try to wear only cotton or silk clothing - these are gentle on the skin. 3) Keep a humidifier in your bedroom at night for added moisture. 4) Watch for what heavier "winter" foods may be aggravating your itchy skin. 5) Keep stress to a minimum and learn how to "unwind". 6) Use only a hypo-allergenic, chemical free cleanser such as our FACE & BODY WASH that will quickly add much needed moisture to your skin. 7) Moisturize your skin daily with our HAND & BODY THERACREAM which will penetrate the skin 7 layers deep and add abundant moisture as well as stop any itching. This fast working cream contains plenty of vitamins and nutrients to fortify and protect your skin.
