1) Drink lots of water
When the air is cold outside, the water in your skin evaporates more quickly, causing dry and flaky skin. Naturally with eczema, there is an increased loss of water from the skin and therefore, in the winter your body is losing even more valuable electrolytes. It should be no surprise that this dehydration has significant effects on your skin. When you are dehydrated, your skin becomes more tight, flaky and even wrinkly as fine lines appear more visible. Keeping hydrated is crucial for keeping your skin supple and flushing out toxins which may irritate your skin.
