Let's dig into eczema itch. It can be so embarrassing when it rears its ugly head at the wrong time. I'm mean, we both know, there's itch and then there's that "Eczema Itch." It's on a whole other level!
But guess what? We've got your back, you neck, your scalp and that area behind your knees and at the bend of your elbows, with 10 tips to keep that itch in check and let your skin breathe easy.
First things first – create a daily ritual of bathing and moisturizing. It's the dynamic duo your skin craves. Wet wrap therapy can also be a game changer. In addition to bathing, make sure to use moisturizer that replenishes your skin's barrier, like our Eczema Butter, Eczema Oil, and Eczema Salve – your skin superheroes. Don't forget the sunscreen – yes, even if you are darker skinned. Protect yourself from sunburn itch, and steer clear of products with added fragrances.
Now, here's my favorite part: natural remedies. An oatmeal bath or a baking soda retreat, especially with colloidal oatmeal, like what's in our Coconut Milk Bath Scoops, can work wonders for soothing flareups, calming itch, fighting bacteria and restoring moisture.
Never forget the golden rule: Don't let the itch-scratch cycle take over. We know it's hard but resist the urge to excessively scratch try pinching or patting the itchy area instead.
Using our 100% Cotton Eczema Gloves are great way to help prevent tearing your skin and risking infection.
