eczema is most often characterized by dry, red, extremely itchy patches
on the skin. it has many forms. your skin has special needs
and is usually sensitive. specific treatment and medications should
be obtained from your dermatologist.
Cleanse with a gentle cleanser every morning and
night to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without overhydrating or removing
too much of your skin's natural oils.
Exfoliate to remove dead skin cells to reveal fresh,
vibrant skin and stimulate your complexion at least 3 times a week.
Tone
your skin with an alcohol-based toner to
tighten pores and remove any traces of cleanser or other residue.
Moisturize
in the morning and night with a gel or oil-free lotion to protect
and not aggressively hydrate your skin.
Sun Block
will protect your skin
during the day.
Seasonal Care for
Eczema Prone Skin
it is expected that your skin experience slight changes
throughout each season.
Winter
is typically the skin’s
driest season, due to decreasing humidity, cold temperatures, and
increased time spent indoors with dehydrating heating systems. even
oily skin can experience some dryness. apply richer, creamier moisturizers
to the face and body at this time to help maintain the skin’s healthy
hydration levels and consider using a humidifier at home and at the
office to add moisture to the air. alternate lightweight, water-based
products with richer, nourishing formulas.
Spring is when the skin is ready to shed layers of dead, flaky
patches, so exfoliation will be a top priority. as the season progresses,
you can start shifting to lighter cleansers and moisturizers in preparation
for the warm months ahead.
Summer usually means increased outdoor activity and sun exposure. protect your skin with oil-free sunblock and moisturizers with SPF
during the daytime, every day. oil-free products also help to avoid shiny, oily skin, and clogged pores.
Fall is a cool, refreshing transition from summer to winter and requires
all the essential skin care basics -- protection from the sun with
sunblock, replenishing hydration, and exfoliation.
