Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)

Understanding your skin

Caring for Skin During a Challenging Time

Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) can occur after stopping prolonged or frequent use of topical corticosteroids, and may involve red, burning, or flaking skin as it adjusts. Because it's a physically and emotionally difficult experience, many people look for a simple, gentle skincare routine to lean on during this time.

When skin feels especially dry, delicate, or unpredictable, consistency matters even more. A gentle routine that focuses on cleansing, replenishing moisture, and supporting the skin's natural barrier can help make daily skincare feel simpler and more manageable.

Emu Joy products are formulated to support comfort and hydration for delicate, sensitive skin. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If you have been diagnosed with a condition, we recommend working with your healthcare professional to determine the care plan that's right for you.

Emu Oil Soap

Gentle Cleanse When skin is feeling particularly delicate, a gentle cleanse is the best place to begin.

Soothe My Skin

Comfort Layer Skin going through TSW doesn't always respond the same way day to day, and some days call for more than a light layer of moisture. Soothe My Skin provides temporary relief of itching and irritation, and when applied over Pure Emu Oil, it creates a richer layer of nourishment that helps skin stay hydrated and comfortable.

Got Questions?  We have answers.

Where should I start if I'm building a routine?

Many customers begin with Pure Emu Oil and Emu Oil Soap before adding Soothe My Skin and other complementary products to create a routine that fits their daily skincare needs.

Why is consistency important?

A simple routine that's followed every day is often easier to maintain than frequently changing products. Building familiar habits can help make daily skincare feel more manageable.

Can I use these products every day?

Yes. These products are designed to work together as part of a gentle morning and evening skincare routine.

How do I get the best results from this routine?
  • Keep your routine as simple and consistent as possible.
  • Cleanse gently and avoid over-cleansing.
  • Apply Pure Emu Oil while skin is still slightly damp to help maximize hydration.
  • Layer Soothe My Skin over Pure Emu Oil where additional nourishment is needed.
  • Use Emu Lotion whenever your skin benefits from lightweight hydration throughout the day.
  • Focus on steady daily care rather than frequently changing products.

    My Go-To

    I'm not suffering from TSW, but this combination is my go-to when I need to replenish my supply of my favorite products. It's also a great "starter" for those new to emu joy.

    Too soon to tell the long term effects of these products. Both products are easy to use and do not leave skin greasy or sticky.
