People with eczema usually have dry skin because their skin barrier is already damaged. When the barrier is damaged, retaining the moisture that keeps skin healthy is hard. It’s essential to keep your skin moisturized to avoid worsening or triggering a flare-up.
The National Eczema Association (NEA) recommends moisturizers without fragrances and suggests ones with the following ingredients:
* oat or shea butter
* aloe
* glycerin
* hyaluronic acid
* petrolatum
* vitamin E
* humectants
