The seasons changing can be tough times for scratchers.

Some tips and things to be mindful of as we head into winter:

• Be careful of home humidity – Too dry or damp.

  • Heat pumps and air conditioning can really dry the air out.
  • Drying clothes inside, cooking and showering without adequate ventilation can cause dampness and allow mold growth
  • Air the house out for at least 10 min a day

• Keep up water drinking

• Apply moisturiser regularly to keep a barrier on the skin

• Resist the temptation to have really hot showers or baths as

  these strip the skin's natural oils.

  • Try bathing in the evening but still moisturise both morning and night.
  • Night time bathing keeps a better barrier to protect you for the day
  • It also reduces allergens being brought into the bed on the skin and hair

• Keep talking to family and friends if it is a difficult time for you.

Hopefully, these help make this time easier.
