Hi -,
Summer is here, and with it comes the most challenging season for eczema.
Heat, sweat, sun, humidity, chlorine, salt water. It's the perfect storm for flare-ups.
But you don't have to suffer through it. Here's why summer attacks your skin, and how to prepare.
Why Summer Is the Worst Season
After treating 20,000+ patients over 30 years, Dr. Harlan sees flare-ups spike during the summer due to three environmental factors:
Heat & Sweat: Salty sweat is irritating to eczema-prone skin. High humidity disrupts moisture regulation.
Sun Exposure: UV rays trigger inflammation. Even "healthy sun" combined with heat intensifies skin reactions.
Water & Chemicals: Chlorine strips natural oils. Salt water disrupts microbiome. Fresh water + heat + sun = barrier breakdown.
Result: Your skin is under constant stress all summer.
Dr. Harlan's Summer Prevention Protocol
Most people wait for a flare-up to treat it. The smart approach? Prevent it from happening.
Starting Now:
✓ Apply SmartLotion® 2-4x daily as preventative (even if skin looks clear)
✓ Use Perfect Repair™ 2x daily to strengthen barrier
During Summer:
✓ Apply SmartLotion® immediately after swimming or sweating
✓ Shower with lukewarm water (not hot)
✓ Apply SmartLotion® while skin is damp
✓ Follow with Perfect Repair™ before bed
✓ Keep travel-size SmartLotion® with you
Why Daily Use Prevents Flare-Ups
0.75% Hydrocortisone keeps inflammation suppressed before it starts
0.5% Sulfur maintains microbiome balance under heat stress
Together, they create protective barrier for your skin against the summer heat.
That way you can make it through June, July, August without a major flare-up. No painful episodes or embarrassment. Just smooth, comfortable skin.
