Whether you are somebody that battled eczema, like me, or maybe psoriasis, and maybe you've had problems regulating that thermoregulation that I'm talking about today, that actually will lead to the difficulty of falling asleep and it disrupts the circadian rhythm.
Ever wondered why your skin seems to get itchier as the sun goes down? In this episode of 'TSW: Journey to Healing', Jennifer Powers dives into the science behind your skin's circadian rhythm. Yes, just like your body, your skin has its own clock! During the day, it thickens and produces more oil to shield you from environmental stressors. But come nightfall, things change. Oil production slows, blood flow and skin temperature rise, and your skin becomes more permeable.
This can lead to increased water loss and, you guessed it, more itching. Jennifer breaks down how these nightly changes impact not just your comfort but also the effectiveness of your skincare routine. She shares practical tips for managing that pesky nighttime itch and emphasizes the importance of self-care and patience, especially for those dealing with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW). Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Jennifer offers a comforting voice for anyone struggling with skin issues.
If you're curious about how your skin's natural rhythms affect your sleep and overall well-being, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with actionable advice and a deeper understanding of why your skin behaves the way it does at night.
