7 Tips For Managing Eczema In The Winter

Investing in a Humidifier

Looking back on the study in the high mountains of Davos, Switzerland, researchers seemed to suggest that eczema-prone skin requires an optimal climate. However, since eczema patients cannot simply move to a better climate, they should at least use a humidifier in their home during winter. A humidifier takes in dirty, dry air and returns it as clean, moist air. The body heals during sleep, so when an eczema patient controls their environment during sleep, the skin can both heal properly being protected from further dehydration. Additionally, a humidifier that simultaneously acts as an air purifier can cut out allergens and toxins that cause harm to compromised skin. As an even simpler solution, patients should drink plenty of water throughout the day.
