HELLO FELLOW YOUTUBERS!!!

Keeping your skin’s moisture intact is one of the most important things you can do to help control your eczema or atopic dermatitis.

Moisturizers and lotions help protect the outermost layer of skin known as the stratum corneum or skin barrier. People living with eczema have damaged a skin barrier, which makes their skin more sensitive to irritants, allergens, bacteria and other invaders. A damaged skin barrier also makes it harder for the skin to retain water, leading to chronic dry, itchy skin, which can cause eczema and other skin conditions to flare-up or get worse.

Wind, low humidity, cold temperatures, harsh soaps and prolonged exposure to water, all lead to dry skin, especially for some skin types. So, it’s important to understand how and when to properly moisturize and which products are best to use when you have eczema.

Some things to remember when moisturizing or using lotion:

If you use a prescription topical medication, apply it as directed, before you moisturize.
Apply a thick layer of moisturizer all over your skin within three minutes of bathing or showering to “lock in” moisture and protect the skin barrier.
Moisturizers that are fragrance and dye-free are the safest and least irritating.
Prevent contamination by using a clean implement rather than your hands to remove moisturizer from the container.
Soften moisturizer by rubbing it between your hands and then apply it to your body using the palm, in downward strokes. Avoid rubbing in the moisturizer by stroking up and down, or in circles.
If the moisturizer feels “tacky” on your skin, don’t remove the excess. It will be absorbed within a few minutes.
Moisturize hands every time you wash them or when they come into contact with water.
What kinds of lotions are most effective for my eczema?
When shopping for your next lotion, beware: some have ingredients that can do more harm than good. Because lotions are primarily made of water, they evaporate quickly and may contain preservatives that burn when applied to skin that’s scratched or broken. To prevent using a lotion with preservatives, use lotions which contain the right oils and choose fragrance-free hand creams and body lotions.

This is especially true for affected areas with lots of eczema flare-ups. An eczema cream or lotion that is eczema friendly, for example, is often the best lotion to use on affected areas when compared to a general body lotion. Lotions which are hypoallergenic are also a good choice. Some products, such as Aveeno parabens lotion, Cerave moisturizing cream, and Cetaphil lotion, are designed specifically to be hypoallergenic, anti-itch, and effective for those with eczema.

In general, look for moisturizing lotions which contain ingredients that help eczema-prone skin, including:

oat or shea butter
aloe
glycerin
hyaluronic acid
petrolatum
vitamin E
humectants
niacinamide

My cream has a pH of 5 and no fragrance or unwanted chemicals.
