SCHENECTADY, NY -- Winter weather brings the dreaded winter itch, but there is finally an answer to winter skin irritation and it comes from nature's own hot peppers. Hot peppers have been proven to stop skin irritation and itching while also regulating topical moisture during low humidity conditions spawned by winter weather. A new skin spray uses the power of hot peppers to stop winter itching and cold weather irritation without chemicals or steroids. Greensations® brand ThermaSkin spray creates a thermal layer of protection that penetrates the epidermis with capsaicin, the natural heat component of peppers from the capsicum family. This all natural capsaicin skin spray applies the healing abilities of hot peppers in a soothing non-burning formulation that is guaranteed to stop itching in less than a minute.
As winter approaches, cold air brings lower humidity that dries the skin and leads to itching and irritation, a condition known as winter pruritus or winter itch. Cold weather makes healthy skin sick causing dryness, chapping and cracking. Winter weather also worsens pre-existing skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. Winter pruritus generally occurs on the face, legs, arms and hands, but the face and hands get the worst of it since they are the most unprotected body parts.
"Winter itch can also be aggravated by chemical agents such as soaps and other detergents -- especially on the hands. As people move from warm indoor air to cold outdoor air, skin pores suffer from extreme changes that lead to unhealthy skin conditions," says Niles Porter, Director of Sales for Greensations.
People of all ages suffer from winter pruritus, but as skin gets older the condition becomes worse with every new season. As we age, the odds of developing winter pruritus increases dramatically because the outer layers tend to dry out and crack more easily over time. Hormonal changes also occur as we get older and this aggravates winter skin conditions even more, but hot peppers have been shown to rejuvenate skin by increasing blood flow and desensitizing nerve fibers. Capsaicin also depletes natural chemicals that cause topical irritation and swelling, and it promotes new cell growth.
"Our Greensations ThermaSkin spray combines capsaicin with Green Tea, Yuzu Oil, Kola Nut, Caffeine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vegetable Glycerin to replenish the skin with healing moisturizers. ThermaSkin stops itching instantly and it smoothes the skin surface in minutes. The results are noticeable right away and you feel it working on contact. ThermaSkin also tightens fine lines and restores elasticity to the skin," adds Porter.
Greensations brand skin sprays are available at select retailers in salons, spas, dermatology offices, drug stores and online. For more information and free samples for qualified media and medical personnel, visit the official Greensations website.
