If you suffer from eczema you know that winter weather can trigger outbreaks. There are two specific conditions that increase during winter that cause eczema to flare up:
Dry air: Cold, dry air makes it difficult for your skin to stay moisturized. Additionally, warm furnace heat in your house or workplace is also dry. Drastic temperature changes: Going from the warm heat of your car, office or house into the cold outdoors – and back again – shocks the skin into an outbreak. Follow these steps that can minimize the winter season’s effect on your eczema.
