ECZEMA & SUMMER
Summer can be a challenging time for people with eczema. Heat, sweating, sun exposure, and chlorine can trigger flare-ups, leading to itchy, inflamed, and uncomfortable skin.
☀️ Common summer triggers include:
• Excessive sweating
• Heat and humidity
• Sunburn
• Chlorine and salt water
• Fragranced sunscreens and lotions
✨ Tips to protect your skin in summer:
• Stay cool and hydrated
• Shower after swimming and moisturise immediately
• Use gentle, fragrance-free products
• Wear loose, breathable clothing
Managing eczema during summer is possible with the right care. If flare-ups persist, seek medical advice for personalised treatment 💙
