7 eczema remedies that work – Page 2

CHOOSE FABRICS WISELY

As much as we want to adopt the latest fashion trends, wool and synthetic fabrics can really aggravate eczema-prone skin. For some, wearing a cotton top or undershirt is all it takes to keep their eczema at bay, but others do better if they stick to loose-fitting cotton clothes year-round.

INVEST IN THE BEST CREAMS FOR ECZEMA

I’ve tried more skin care products over the years than I care to admit, and when my eczema is really bothering me, I used to find the only thing that could get it under control was tube of medicated cream from my doctor. I’ve been prescribed many different ointments over the years, and while each has provided immediate relief, I’m not a fan of medicating myself or my family unless I absolutely need to.

So I started trying different over-the-counter remedies, and researching what other moms were using online, and eventually stumbled upon a website called The ECZEMA Company, and it has totally changed my life. They offer all kinds of natural skincare products for kids and adults, as well as gentle clothing that won’t irritate eczema prone skin. Here are 4 of my favorites:

Manuka Honey Skin Cream: This is my go-to cream year-round, but I especially love it during the winter months. The combination of organic manuka honey and organic tree nut-free oils and beeswax makes this a gentle, nourishing formula that soothes and calms irritated skin and reduces inflammation without a burning or stinging sensation. Top with a pair of Eczema Gloves (click HEREfor adult gloves and HERE for child gloves) at night for added protection and to prevent nighttime scratching!
Emily Skin Soothers for Itchy Eczema: Suitable for babies, kids, and adults, this is another soothing cream I swear by. Made from all natural ingredients – olive oil, beeswax, and 3 Chinese herbs – I love how quickly it soothes my skin and removes redness.
Emily Skin Soothers for Red Eczema Rashes: If you or your little one are plagued by red, oozing, inflamed, and angry-looking eczema, this product is a must-try. It heals weeping dermatitis, and can also relieve irritation in skin folds such as armpits, elbows, and behind the knees.
EczeHerbal #2 – Itchy Skin Rash Treatment: If your eczema causes dryness, flaking, and itching, this is another of my favorite eczema remedies. It uses different herbs, which isn’t for everyone, but having grown up in South East Asia, I’m a big believer in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). To each their own, I say!
