### Tips to Protect Eczema-Prone Skin in Summer 1. **Stay Cool and Hydrated**: Avoid excessive heat and sweating by staying in the shade or in air-conditioned environments. Drink plenty of water to keep your body cool. 2. **Choose the Right Sunscreen**: Opt for physical or mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as they are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. 3. **Consider Phototherapy**: Controlled exposure to ultraviolet light can help reduce eczema symptoms. Consult your dermatologist for this treatment. 4. **Change Out of Wet Clothes**: If you sweat or get wet, change into dry clothes as soon as possible to avoid skin irritation. 5. **Use an Air Purifier**: An air purifier can help remove allergens like pollen from the air, reducing the risk of eczema flare-ups. 6. **Rinse Off After Swimming**: Chlorine and saltwater can irritate the skin. Rinse off immediately after swimming and reapply moisturizer and sunscreen. 7. **Daily Bathing**: Take a daily bath or shower with mild soap to remove sweat and bacteria. Moisturize immediately afterward. 8. **Moisturize with Ceramides**: Use a moisturizer containing ceramides to restore the skin's barrier and hydration. Apply within 60 seconds of showering for best results.
