Although dry skin and eczema are year round skin ailments, cold weather usually is directly associated with flare ups.  Below are a few tips you can use when fighting the winter months.

Moisturize as often as possible. Moisturizing immediately after taking a bath or a shower is a really good practice when controlling your dry skin from eczema symptoms.  Your pores are still open and they have the opportunity to absorb your moisturizer or lotion quickly.  Moisturize dry kin trouble spots throughout the day with a good moisturizer.

Laundry detergents & fabric softeners – Avoid using fragrances and harsh chemicals on your clothes, socks or even towels and wash cloths.  Harsh detergents can become a big nuisance to dry skin and can trigger eczema symptoms almost immediately.  Read fabric labels; most often washing with baby detergent is the mildest thing to use.

Washing Dishes. Avoid putting your hands in hot soapy water and use your dishwasher as often as possible.  It makes sense not to keep your hands in hot or warm water because water can dry your skin even more.

Avoid hot showers and hot baths. Hot water pulls the moisture out of your skin; therefore avoid long hot showers and baths.  Use warm water to bathe for short periods of time.

Hand Soaps. Avoid harsh hand soaps that typically cause your hands to crack, bleed and cause blisters on your hands.

Know your dry skin triggers. Triggers come from food, weather, stress or fragrances.  Pay attention to what is going on around you and recognize these eczema dry skin triggers.

Working in the shipping department of Q-Based Healthcare, I see first-hand the amount of Eczema products we send out the door. But until just the other day I had not met anyone who had used our Eczema products. A representative from one of our carriers stopped by for a routine visit and check-up. During our brief visit the conversation shifted onto a more personal level. He began to inform more of his young son who had Eczema. He and his wife had tried a large variety of Eczema creams and Eczema medications, none of which worked for his son.

After becoming our sales representative for this particular carrier he began to learn a little more about what we do and our product line. When he heard we had Eczema products that work wonders for children he decided to give it a try as nothing else had worked for his son. He and his wife began applying the ProEcza Eczema cream daily along with the other products in the regimen.

According to him, after they applied the Eczema cream they began to see slight results within just a couple of days. The red and inflamed areas of his son’s body began to fade and they could tell he was not itching as much. After about two weeks of using ProEcza Eczema Cream his son’s skin was healthier than they had ever seen it.

The next time he came for a routine check-up his face lit up as he told me his son’s Eczema was finally under control. I could see the relief in his face that he and his wife no longer had to deal with their son’s itching, pain and discomfort caused by Eczema. He told me that now it is very rare for his son to ever have a Eczema flare-up and when he does they apply the Eczema cream and it is back under control.

“My son had suffered with Eczema since he was born and nothing we tried would work,” he told me. “I can’t put into words what a relief it is to see him feeling better and not suffering. It brought relief to him, and it really eased me and my wife’s minds.”

I hear our customer service representatives saying all the time that they hear Eczema testimonials from people and I see the e-mails coming through with customers thanking our company for making such great Eczema products. But it was a completely different experience to speak to someone in person who had finally found the relief they needed because of our products.
