Eczema Treatments

FAQs

What is Eczema?

Eczema is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body, but it’s especially common on the face, hands, and behind the knees. Eczema often happens when the skin’s natural barrier is weakened, making it harder for the skin to retain moisture. 

Factors like genetics, allergies, and environmental triggers can make eczema worse. Stress and certain foods can also trigger flare-ups, so managing these factors can help reduce symptoms. Eczema is a long-term condition, but with the right skincare products and routine, and knowing what you’re allergic to, it’s possible to keep it under control. Sticking to a gentle, moisturizing regimen can prevent flare-ups and keep your skin comfortable.

Can You Treat Facial Eczema?

Yes, you can treat facial eczema with a gentle routine and the right products. Because the skin on your face is more sensitive, avoiding harsh ingredients that could irritate it further is essential. Look for an eczema treatment cream that hydrates without clogging pores and calms inflammation. 

Additionally, using an at-home chemical peel gently removes dead skin cells, allowing your other eczema treatments to absorb better. Keeping your routine simple and gentle is key to managing facial eczema.

What Are the Best Treatments for Eczema on Your Face?

The best treatments for facial eczema focus on calming and hydrating the skin while strengthening its natural barrier. 

The first step in treating eczema is resisting the urge to scratch. We know your skin is itchy, but scratching will worsen the rash and weaken the skin barrier, and lead to scarring. Using an ice roller will calm inflammation and reduce itchiness, making it one of the best skincare products for eczema. 

For your skincare routine, start with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Harsh ingredients can make eczema worse. 

Follow up with a nourishing face serum containing soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or aloe vera to add moisture and reduce redness. 

Next, apply an eczema cream like our Microbiome Moisturizer, designed with a CERAMIDE COMPLEX to soothe dry, sensitive skin and relieve itching. Finish with a face oil to seal in moisture and protect your skin from water loss. 

Staying consistent with these treatments can help keep flare-ups in check and keep your skin calm and comfortable.

What Are the Best Treatments for Eczema on Your Body?

Treating eczema on your body requires deep hydration and products that strengthen your skin barrier. Start with a gentle, fragrance-free body wash to avoid irritation and protect natural oils. You don’t need to apply the cleanser all over your body–to avoid drying out your skin further, focus on cleaning only the areas that are necessary. Apply our body serum while your skin is still moist in the shower to lock in that moisture and then apply jojoba oil to seal and protect the skin.

After showering, apply a body peel to gently exfoliate, allowing your hydrating products to work better. Next, use a rich eczema cream to draw in moisture and reduce inflammation. Always apply body oil as your final step to seal moisture in and prevent water loss. 

For areas prone to thicker, flaky patches, gentle exfoliation using skincare tools can help remove dead skin cells, improving the absorption of your moisturizer. You can also add a body serum with soothing ingredients like ceramides or glycerin for an extra boost of hydration. Staying consistent with these treatments and using an ice roller to prevent scratching can help reduce flare-ups, keeping your skin calm and comfortable.
