What’s With the Weather
May in Northern California is usually warm and sunny with lots of pollen in the air and friendly breezes to carry it along. As I write this it’s overcast and cold, and the effect on my eczema is very odd. Usually colder weather with light showers makes my skin happy – not too dry, irritated or itchy. But this season my skin is very dry and breaking out every day. I’m guessing it’s because of the pollen in the air, less rain than usual last winter, and stress.
It seems like you are having a tough time during this season. I’m an eczema sufferer myself but because I come from the Tropics, I’m glad that I do not have to deal with the changes in seasons.
It sounds wonderful to not have drastic changes in the seasons! Sometimes I dream about moving to Ireland, in part because it has the perfect weather to keep my skin happy.
