How to Heal Your Eczema From Home and Tips for the Workplace

[Dominick Neal]

To fight eczema and reduce eczema flare-ups, you need to take care of
your skin. I am going to give you a list of solutions that will teach
you how to treat your eczema effectively internally and externally.
Although few recognize that their skin is their largest organ, it is.
Thus, it needs to be treated with just as much love as any other
organ, such as your heart, liver, and kidneys. Understand that eczema
occurs for a variety of reasons including; stress, humidity changes,
allergies, perfumes, soaps, pesticides, detergents, and air pollution.
All of these factors are environmental, since your skin is in constant
contact with the environment 24 hours per day. It is essential that
you use quality skincare products to create a protective barrier for
your eczema-prone skin from inflammation and unhealthy bacteria.
Eczema Skin Care Tip #1: Visit a Doctor or dermatologist to determine
exactly what type of eczema you have. There are several different
types of eczema and each type needs to be treated differently, but the
"Big Four" types of Eczema are listed below:
Atopic eczema (atopic dermatitis) - This type of eczema occurs in
people who have a genetically inherited tendency to have allergies.
Babies between the ages 1 to 2 years old usually have atopic eczema
and can appear anywhere on the body including the face, neck, ears,
and elbows.
Contact dermatitis - This type of eczema occurs when your skin comes
in contact for a prolonged time with mild irritants such as;
fragranced soaps, detergents, sweat, perfumes, saliva, urine and even
water. Other common substances that trigger skin allergies include
cleaning products, deodorants, cosmetics, and medications.
Varicose eczema - This type of eczema is caused by poor circulation
and affects skin around the ankles.
Discoid eczema - This type of eczema occurs in numerous round patches.
It is usually found in adults and appears suddenly as a few coin
shaped areas of red skin, normally on the trunk or lower legs. They
become itchy and can weep fluid. Usually discoid eczema steroid creams
are necessary.
Eczema Skin Care Tip #2: Cleanse Your Skin Gently with a Natural Skin
Care product. People with eczema often experience skin irritation from
using traditional soaps and body washes that have either sodium laurel
sulfate, propylene glycol, or lye. All of these substances are skin
irritants and extremely drying. Further, products containing steroids
have a tendency to reduce the skin's elasticity. Try Using Beauty 4
Ashes Aloe Vera & Lavender Body Wash. It contains tea tree to
fight bacteria and emu oil to penetrate the skin and infuse it with
vitamins A,C, D, & E. Beauty 4 Ashes products are 100% natural and
extremely effective, because they utilize honey, a natural antiseptic,
and healing Aloe Vera to soothe dry, itchy, eczema.
Eczema Skin Care Tip #3: Drink Plenty of Water. In order to keep your
body and skin properly hydrated, drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of
cold water daily. If you want something different besides water that
will also help your skin, try drinking at least two cups of green or
chamomile tea each day. You can add a teaspoon of honey and Splenda as
a substitute for sugar or add some lemon in for zest.
Eczema Skin Care Tip #4: Join a Gym to Exercise. Do not go for long
walks in the heat, especially where a variety of plants are. This can
cause flare ups, overheating, and flushing, only creating itchiness
and skin dryness. If you want to exercise, join a cheap, air
conditioned, gym. This will limit your skin's exposure to
environmental allergens.
