Eczmea Be Gone!
15
items Any kind of skin issue can be unpleasant, painful and upsetting. I've struggled with eczmea over the years and tried loads of things, including some which made it worse. Here are my top recommendations to help manage eczmea flare ups.
This is the thing my skin loves the most! I always have a tube with me and lafter leys, wallet and phone, is the thing I will not leave my house without. And it smells wonderful.
Weleda Skin Food 75ml
Because skin should feel clean, protected, and calm. I can feel like showering can dry out my skin, this stops that.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 473ml
Sensitive skin friendly and perfume free soap a must! And also I think for everyone in the house reducing the chemicals on their skin is a plus as well.
Soap
Vitamins for our skin and gummies for the taste! I have in the past refused to admit that our diet and nutrient intake affects our skin and can help prevent or exacerbate outbreaks. Time has taught me well!
Holland & Barrett Multivitamin Gummy 30 Chewables
Does exactly what I want and does not irritate. For those of us unlucky enough to deal with face eczmea at times, being incredibly careful with what we put on our face is really important.
Cleansers
I hear cotton also works but bamboo gloves are the softest thing ever. I was reluctant to try gloves at first but they have been remarkable in preventing flare ups on my hands.
Bamboo Gloves
Bamboo bedding all night long when I have a flare up is all I can ask for. It's soft and breathable and comforting!
Bamboo Bedding and Linens
These help my skin heal and the magnesium also helps my sleep so I'm less stressed and that helps too. Sometimes treating your skin like a princess when it's in pain really can help.
Magnesium salt soak
These are a really gentle natural soap that you can use in pretty much any scenario, but is my favourite for laundry. They are just dried nuts so there is nothing nasty in there that should hurt your skin. I love them! Also they are economical and yo...
Soapnuts
Does what it says on the tin. Doesn't irritate and moisturisers. A great all rounder to just lower the chances that bit more of a flare up.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Please wear sunscreen! It helps with everything not least of all your eczmea. It will help keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and minimise sun damage. Unfortunately with sunscreen there are no guarantees what will work for you, but this is definitely ...
HELIOCARE 360° Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50
This balm basically creates a barrier between your skin and fabrics which will irritate- I particularly recommend for use whilst exercising or doing physical labour where there is a lot of friction created. This balm helps prevent outbreaks by reduci...
Body Glide Anti Chafe Balm
Merino is definitely not for everyone and our skin likes different things. For me, I've found Merino baselayers and jumpers to be wonderful. They are wicking, help moderate temperature and breathable which means it will keep you warm and reduce sweat...
Dilling Merino
Clothing can be a massive irritant, and I have found that wearing natural fabrics as much as possible has really helped. Organic fabrics also reduces the amount of chemicals that are going onto your skin, which also helps. There are lots of options f...
Rapanui Clothing
There are lots of things in our water, and sometimes showering when my skin os flared up is really unpleasant. Having a shower filter means that the things added to the water aren't hitting my skin and seems to take off the burn during flares.
