Spring is finally here; the days are longer, the sun is out, and everything is starting to bloom. It’s a welcome change… but if you have eczema, the season can come with some surprises for your skin.
Even though winter dryness is behind us, spring brings its own challenges: pollen in the air, fluctuating temperatures, and more time outdoors can all trigger flare-ups. But with a few simple tweaks, you can enjoy the season without letting eczema take over.
1. Keep Moisture Front of Mind
Your skin barrier needs extra support this season. A rich, nourishing cream after a shower or washing your hands can make a huge difference. Think of it as giving your skin a little springtime boost.
2. Shower After Being Outside
Pollen, dust, and sweat can irritate eczema-prone skin. A gentle, natural cleanser can help wash away triggers without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
3. Dress for Comfort
Spring brings warmer days.. and sweat, which can sometimes worsen flare-ups. Stick to breathable fabrics like cotton or bamboo, and avoid anything scratchy or tight against the skin.
4. Be Allergy Aware
If you’re sensitive to pollen, keep windows closed during peak times and rinse off after spending time outdoors. A barrier cream on exposed areas can also help prevent irritation.
5. Don’t Forget Sun Protection
A little sunshine is great for mood and skin, but too much can dry and irritate eczema-prone skin. Use a gentle sunscreen on sensitive areas and enjoy the outdoors safely.
Spring is all about fresh starts, and that includes your skincare routine! With a bit of planning and consistent care, you can enjoy longer days, sunny afternoons, and everything this season has to offer without the itch.
