Cold weather skin

I love fall. I truly, truly do. But there's a big problem that arises when cold weather sets in: my skin takes a turn for the worst. Yours truly has battled eczema every year of her silly little life. Some years it's practically non-existent. Other years, it's wretched.

This year, it's been particularly wretched. Anyone out there in TV land have any sure-fire tips for moisturizing and dealing with this awful itch?

  1. I get eczema, too, and the Aveeno eczema cream is really good! Kind of pricey, as far as creams go, but it's got oatmeal in it, and it soothes. Also, Eucerin Aquaphor -- thick and kind of sticky, but really, really great for moisturizing. I put that stuff on before bed.

    1. Thanks! I've definitely had a turn at Aquaphor. That stuff is not to be trifled with and is SUPER effective. I'll have to give the Aveeno cream a try as well! (I've tried their oatmeal bath to see if it'd soothe; it was fair-to-middlin'.)
