Key Ingredients That Make AweMed Repair Lotion/Moisturiser Effective for Itchy Skin

AweMed® Repair+ is formulated with clinically backed ingredients that help strengthen the skin barrier and provide relief for itchy, irritated skin:

• Ceramides – Essential lipids that repair and protect the skin barrier, reducing moisture loss. Studies show that ceramides help alleviate dryness and improve skin hydration in eczema-prone individuals.
• Zinc – Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, zinc helps minimise bacterial growth and supports the skin’s natural healing process.
• Moisturising Agents – A blend of humectants and emollients helps retain moisture, preventing excessive dryness that can lead to itching.

This moisturiser for itchy skin is designed for daily use, providing long-lasting hydration while supporting the skin’s natural defence mechanisms.

What Causes Itchy Skin?

Itchy skin, or pruritus, is a common concern that can stem from various factors, including environmental triggers, underlying skin conditions, and lifestyle habits. Understanding these causes helps in selecting the right moisturiser for itchy skin to manage symptoms effectively.

Common Causes of Itchy Skin:

1. Dry Skin (Xerosis):
   • When skin lacks sufficient moisture, it becomes tight, flaky, and prone to irritation. This is particularly common in dry climates, after prolonged sun exposure, or due to frequent washing with harsh soaps.
   • Research published in Harvard Health explains, “Moisturisers work by trapping existing moisture in the skin. The best time to apply them is right after washing, when skin is still damp”.
2. Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis):
   • A chronic inflammatory condition that weakens the skin barrier, leading to persistent dryness, redness, and severe itching.
   • The National Eczema Association states, “People with eczema have significantly lower levels of ceramides in their skin, making moisturisers containing ceramides essential for barrier repair”.

1. Psoriasis:
   • An autoimmune condition that causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to scaly patches and intense itching.
   • A Nature study highlights, “Regular hydration reduces inflammation and improves the skin’s natural protective barrier, reducing the severity of psoriasis flare-ups”..
2. Allergies & Irritants:
   • Common irritants such as harsh cleansers, fragrances, and environmental allergens can trigger skin reactions and itching.
   • A study in the Journal of Clinical Dermatology found that “Fragrance-free, ceramide-enriched moisturisers provide better protection against environmental allergens, reducing irritation”.
3. Environmental Factors:
   • Hot, humid weather can increase sweat and irritation, while cold, dry air can strip moisture from the skin.
   • Studies suggest that using a lotion for itchy skin with ceramides and humectants can help the skin adapt to varying climates and maintain hydration.

By understanding the root causes of itching and keeping the skin properly hydrated, a moisturiser for itchy skin plays a crucial role in long-term skin health. Regular use of dermatologically developed products like AweMed® Repair+ helps soothe irritation and protect against flare-ups.
