Water and eczema - new study in Journal of Dermatology
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2017 11:13 am
Hi everyone
I'm new here; my boyfriend suffers from psoriasis and eczema and I've recently started to suffer with patches on my face too, which is very unpleasant.
I'm here to get advice and also to share anything I find. I also work for a company (via my agency) which has recently shared a study on the effects of water on skin, which suggests that having hard water can make eczema worse. They've got loads of anecdotal evidence that says having a water softener installed actually cured the eczema, too. Here's the study:

What do you think? Can water have such a positive effect? I guess you could test it if you have travelled to a softer water area and found that's helped. Harveys also offers a free trial...
Thanks
Laura
