Having been in a place with soft water for the last 2 weeks, it was interesting to observe that after a hot shower in hard water the eczema skin felt a little irritated. However this might be coupled with extreme tiredness from a long haul flight and perhaps the water was a little too hot!
Anyway whilst it is still in the 20s (degs C), am returning to having cold/luke warm showers.
There has been lots written about soft water helping eczema sufferers but from my point of view I have had great normal looking skin whilst still washing in hard water. So not sure about that.
4 days later:
Body has now nearly aclimitised and the hard water now has no effect on irritating the skin. Can only conclude that the supposition that soft water is better for eczema skin is questionable. In my case - no difference!
Sleep makes a difference
