Online and in the shops: Skin Awareness Week

Skin alert: Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis affect up to one third of the Irish population.

The colder weather and indoor heating can dry and irritate sensitive skin, causing flare-ups at this time of year. This week is Skin Awareness Week, culminating in Skin Awareness Day tomorrow in St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre (Top Floor) from 10am to 4.30pm. Organised by the Irish Skin Foundation, there will be talks, lectures and workshops on a range of skin conditions, all of which are free.
