I squirt water on myself becos i don't perspire much. would d evaporation dry up my skin? i moisturise everyday but i've dry skin due to eczema. thank you!

Water dries skin: Water actually dries out the skin. Eczema is a dry skin condition. You need to moisturizer frequently with creams and ointment (lotions are less moisturizing) such as cetaphil, cerave, aquaphor, vaseline. Avoid washing in hot water and avoid drying soaps. Use moisturizing cleansers without fragrance.
