Dealing with Eczema in Summer Weather

It’s lovely that summer is here and we can all enjoy some time outdoors. If you suffer from eczema though, the warm weather can bring some challenges. Here are some tips to help you look after your skin during the summer months. Stay Hydrated Drinking plenty of water is important for everyone in the heat, but if you have eczema it can make a big difference. Drinking water hydrates your skin which will hopefully leave you feeling less itchy and avoid an eczema flare-up. Rinse off if you get Sweaty Under the skin’s layers, you need to be hydrated, but on the surface, you should be dry and cool. So, if you find yourself getting sweaty the best thing to do is have a tepid shower. Then dry yourself thoroughly and put on some fresh clothes. Try to wear materials that let your skin breathe like cotton or linen. Keep the Dust Down at Home Dust makes allergies worse, so it’s important to keep it to a minimum. If you have tiled or wooden floors dust removal is easy. All you need to do is give the floor a wipe every day. If you have carpets you’ll need to hoover regularly. Pick a hoover with a HEPA filter and use the attachments to get rid of dust on furniture and curtains. Watch the Humidity Hot weather can also mean high humidity which can make you sweat. If you can, invest in a portable dehumidifier to use during the winter months too.…

It’s lovely that summer is here and we can all enjoy some time outdoors. If you suffer from eczema though, the warm weather can bring some challenges. Here are some tips to help you look after your skin during the summer months.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is important for everyone in the heat, but if you have eczema it can make a big difference. Drinking water hydrates your skin which will hopefully leave you feeling less itchy and avoid an eczema flare-up.

Rinse off if you get Sweaty

Under the skin’s layers, you need to be hydrated, but on the surface, you should be dry and cool. So, if you find yourself getting sweaty the best thing to do is have a tepid shower. Then dry yourself thoroughly and put on some fresh clothes. Try to wear materials that let your skin breathe like cotton or linen.

Keep the Dust Down at Home

Dust makes allergies worse, so it’s important to keep it to a minimum. If you have tiled or wooden floors dust removal is easy. All you need to do is give the floor a wipe every day. If you have carpets you’ll need to hoover regularly. Pick a hoover with a HEPA filter and use the attachments to get rid of dust on furniture and curtains.

Watch the Humidity

Hot weather can also mean high humidity which can make you sweat. If you can, invest in a portable dehumidifier to use during the winter months too. Dehumidifiers take out the moisture from the air so that allergens don’t multiply.

Take Care in the Sun

The sun might trigger eczema flare-ups for some sufferers. Sun cream will give you some protection, but you’ll need to use one that’s specially designed for sensitive skin. That way the cream will be soothing and give protection.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
