Overly hot showers or baths are easily the biggest triggers to avoid and are worth steering clear of to keep the itchy, irritated symptoms of atopic dermatitis at bay. An oat bath, however, is different. Not to be mistaken with a load of cooked oats dumped into a tub of hot water, this eczema treatment consists of pouring finely milled colloidal oatmeal into a lukewarm-temperature bath. As one of the oldest tricks in the book, it doesn’t sting, smell, or call for a tedious setup;…

How to Heal Dry Skin on Your Eyelids, According to Experts
The only thing more persistent than dry skin is those 15-second insurance company ads at the beginning of YouTube videos you’re not allowed to skip. You can try to avoid them (or it, if we’re talking about dry skin) but they will undoubtedly pop up again. While you might come to expect parched, flaky skin, dryness on your eyelids is a different story.
