1 in 10 people worldwide will suffer from eczema at some point in their lifetime. Yes, you heard me right, 1 in 10! This is a staggering number and there are some simple things you can do to prevent eczema or lessen the effects of your eczema flare-ups.

1. Avoid products or other substances that may stress your skin. If you are an eczema sufferer, you may already know triggers that are specific to you. Other things to avoid would include household cleaners, drying soaps, detergents, fragranced lotions or perfumes.
2. Avoid Stress. Stress actually lowers your body's ability to fight infection and reduces its ability to heal. Excessive stress can aggravate eczema, worsening your outbreak. So do what you can to avoid stressful situations, and remember to breathe deeply and try to relax when faced with such situations.
3. Don't scratch that itch. Probably the hardest thing to avoid. It can be terribly difficult to resist, but scratching can actually worsen your eczema symptoms and make it more difficult for the skin to naturally heal itself. Your skin may actually be more prone to infection as bacteria will be able to get in if you break the skin while itching.

Although these are simple and natural steps you can take to prevent or lessen the effects of eczema, there is much more you can do.
