Very interesting!
I've noticed in my own life that hot showers have a negative effect.
I remember reading somewhere that people who are not in intimate relationships and who don't have a very active sex life crave heat and warmth and are more prone to taking long, scalding showers.
I've done that ^_^
But it's true, I do get eczema periodically and though I can see at least diet as one of the leading causes of bad skin, I think that bad showering habits play a huge role as well.
I'll make sure to get as alkaline a soap as possible and also try taking cold showers in the morning instead of hot showers. Hopefully that will clear up my eczema for good, along with a balanced and healthy dairy-free vegetarian diet!
Cheers for posting! Will follow as this kind of practical information is super valuable! <3
