Do you have eczema?
A bath or shower is usually an enjoyable part of our daily routine, but if you have eczema, it can be an unpleasant experience. To counteract the drying effects from cleansing, consider using advanced body wash formulations that can effectively clean with minimal disruptions to the natural barrier function that’s integral to maintaining healthy skin. Innovative body washes have unique cleansing ingredients that lather up quickly to cleanse, but they also include special moisturizing constituents that efficiently restore adequate hydration levels. Immediately after washing, pat dry with a towel and apply a moisturizing lotion or cream. This final step will “seal in” moisture and improve the appearance of dryness and scaling that is commonly associated with eczema. Regular use of a moisturizer will help you to break out of the “dry skin cycle”, which is caused by the skin’s inability to self hydrate and maintain its moisture barrier function. Frequent applications of lotions and creams can serve to continually replenish lost moisture and help those with eczema to manage chronic dry skin.
